Process of acquiring corrupted gear in BFA is infinitely worse than legendaries in legion.


I’m not entirely sure if corrupted items have some sort of bad luck protection system but it seems that it’s entirely random. I’m in a competitive mythic raiding guild, we have people with 6+ items that played various amounts of time and folks that have none despite grinding for 12 hours a day or more, running 100 dungeons this week and clearing both raid difficulties. This seems problematic to me when coupled with the strength of these items. There are going to be players out there that are unable to compete w folks of similar skill bc rng did not grant them any of the more powerful damage dealing corruptions or none at all. At least in legion you eventually had a cadence for how to acquire legendaries and could grind out a decent one. I realize that it’s the first week but guilds in the 100 range will rely on these quite a bit the next 2 months at which point the tier will be on farm and these become less important. It’s a shame the acquisition system wasn’t more direct since it has a ton of cool mechanics tied into it that make the game more interesting.TLDR: system for acquiring corrupted gear feels awful, large gaps between the haves and have nots.Edit: At least in legion you once you got a shitty one you never had to worry about a duplicate.
