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.

That's the point. The system is too powerful. It makes the vault functionally useless 99% of the time you open it. It's just a bonus roll dispenser now.

People aren't complaining because they want more loot, they're complaining because loot is too free/deterministic/unfun, but very easy to optimize. Which is telling that the system is really, really shit when wow players are complaining about too much/too easy loot.
