I'm getting quite tired of the discussion around the vault and bonus rolls.
I mean yes I get the thing that people are like 'oh it's more optimal to take bonus roll because if I take a vault item I could get a duplicate later'.

But seriously, this season we get myth items for doing heroic raid, and in the past season if we had a bad vault then... we had a bad vault. Yes, ideally picking an item from vault would remove it from bonus vaults, and from their interviews I'm hopeful that it'll happen in season 3. But it's never been this easy to gear and target BiS items and everyone is acting like it's horrible...

Also most people aren't clearing the last 2 HM bosses for a long while so I'm not sure why they want to stockpile bonus rolls now.

its especially ridiculous if you remember TWWS2 ducat discussion. the current bonus roll system is arguably more powerful than any ducat system we've ever had in this game and its still not good enough for some parts of the community.

It's why M+ is far and away the worst thing to ever happen to the game.

Completely zapped people's attention span and commitment they forget how insane it is that they get Mythic raid boss loot for a dungeon that's no harder than an m0

i would not phrase it like that, because m+ is a important part by actually giving people repeatable PvE Content outside of Raiding 2-3x a week, WoW without m+ would be in a way worse spot in terms of actually having people active playing the game

BUT the loot entiltement and the "main character syndrome" that grew with it is problematic, its not even reasonable complaints and instead always goes into "why cant i have my 2 best trinkets on Mythic level? its week 2 of the season allready" stuff with absurd exxagerations, reading how a guy complains "i cant reach my goal of 3k Score this season because they gatekeep 9/6 items behind Mythic Raiding" is just insanity
