I’m playing normal mode at the moment, and since the first nerf, I’ve found almost no epic and almost no legendaries. I only get epic level weapons from the sanctuary chest now. I’ve found one or two in actual play. Even bosses give me blue and lower.
As for legendaries, the only legendary I’ve gotten in a loooooong time (at least ten levels) was a mission-specific item for saving a prisoner. That’s it.
Maybe they need to buff normal mode and nerf mayhem?
My problem lies with how common legendaries are and mayham mode makes it worse… no mode should should make them drop easier… to the point that there more common then whites.
Ive seen bosses drom 2-3 without mayham and my excitement is dropping very fast.
Maybe i just prefer the rarity of BL2 where you get excited when one drops.
I think i may miss farming stuff like the useless infinite… 
If they stick with the world drop system, making legendaries more rare is absolutely not the way to go, IMO. It’s already incredibly hard to find upgrades and if you want to play with a certain weapon with a certain anointment, good luck finding one. Getting a good classmod to drop is like winning the lottery, if the lottery had even less chances of winning.
IMO, they should keep world drops, but add certain items to the loot pool of bosses. This system is already in place for certain bosses like the Warden and it would keep people that like world drops happy, but would also give people like me who want to min/max a chance of finding what we’re actually looking for. Besides that, it would stop people from getting bored farming Graveward 24/7.
Only if that happens I’d be okay with a nerf to the drop rates, but otherwise, I’m not even going to bother anymore, TBH.
I do agree that finding a legendary isn’t as exciting anymore. I WAY preferred the BL2 loot drop system.
Legendaries more common than white? Are we playing the same game? 90% of the drops for me are green and white. I see an occasional blue. Epic and Legendary? Almost none. Geez, I’d like to play your game.
First time I played mayhem 3 after finishing the story I picked a map at random… Atlas HQ… turns out there are multiple chests before you encounter an enemy so I literally had 3 legendaries without killing anything 
I almost made a video about it cos it seemed ridiculous then after a while I realised it was just standard
Seriously, this is not that difficult: if you want a challenge, drop all legendaries, and don’t pick up any more. Problem solved. Why ask to change the game in a way that affects everyone if you can solve your own personal problem just by not picking stuff up?
As someone who abuses a siren. There is always someone who will abuse mechanics in a 4 player pve game. Especially legendary weapons/mods/nades/relics/shields in this game. So telling him to “lol drop stuff” is not going to do anything when everyone else is just crapping over everything else.
Lol! I expect in the future to see strikes with the workers demanding to be paid less!
Nerfing the drops will kill this game faster than Battleborn.
AT this point what we need in the game is something that is above legend rank but very rare to get
dlc will bring them over time if they go by the same rarity set as the ones before.

But the fact is with legendary guns being so easy to get in bl3 that in its self takes all the fun of hunting.
Fact u could play for a few hrs a day in mayhem3 and probly have seen every legendary in the game in 7-12 days maybeless thats just how many drop at a time .
But thats just the way gearbox went this time around im all most 100% it was done this way to try and pull in new players .
Old school gamers are use to farming hrs on end in a lot of the games we played growing up.games didnt hold your hand back then like they do today.
U say nerfing drop rates will kill the game but leaveing it the same will do it as well.when u have every gun in less thin 2 weeks whats the point of going back to play.
Oh good, we have a “nerf drops” thread competing with threads bitching about loot distribution and how we aren’t getting enough to make up for the variance of parts and annointed perks.
Neat.
God dammit.
While YOU might want to spend 100 hours farming for a single gun, that would burn out the majority of people and turn them off from the game. Nerfing drop rates would absolutely be a negative impact to the overall player base.
Legendaries aren’t supposed to be crazy rare. This isn’t Destiny or any other MMO. This game isn’t meant to be played endlessly like those games. Borderlands is following the Diablo formula where legendaries are easy to acquire, but it’s hard to find specific items and even harder to find perfect rolls. At the highest Torment levels in Diablo 3, legendaries rain like crazy. The formula works. And given that you can’t farm for specific guns, the drop rates need to be high or else you’d have a very tiny chance of ever getting the specific version of the item you want. It doesn’t matter if I get 62 versions of every legendary in the game if none of them are the version I’m looking for. People worrying about “finding every legendary” are missing the point.
Rare loot is not rare when you get four legendaries from one kill of a boss. So yea, it’s so much fun to have full bank of legendaries and nothing to use them on…
four legendaries from one kill of a boss? In the last ten levels, killing dozens and dozens of enemies, I’ve seen whites and greens in abundance, a couple blues, and ONE legendary … and that legendary was only because it was mission related item.
Maybe because I’m still playing the main campaign on normal? Maybe this is a mayhem mode problem?
At least for me, I would LOVE to see a legendary now and then. I’ve killed a few bosses and not one of them has dropped a legendary weapon or item.
Not all legendary have same drop chance, when farming I see over and over same legendary items.
Farmed Zero mission for anointed Lyuda, after 4 days of farming only just that still got 1 anointed that have increase reload speed after action skill.
How now things are I don’t mind farming.
Because I played BL1 and BL2 before they increased drop for legendary.
And farmed in BL1 for hybrid weapons that have stupid low drop chance especially ajax for ogre and reaver for penetrator.
So nerf legendary drop rate?
IMO totally non scense it was totally fine to me to get 2 legendarys at lower levels on my first playthrough it was a magical moment to me to recive one and it is nice for people how aint got enough time to farm bosses or Mayhem 3.
People wanna have fun and the grind for Legendary Anointed weapons is hard enough.
Well if its to easy for you why dont you copy cat Senza and do a only white gear no skill points run.
Just you are sadomisitc and have too much free time to spend it doesnt apply for a lot of other players.
Yeah, you don’t see much loot when leveling up. Wait til you hit 50, TVHM, and mayhem, and you’ll start getting good loot.
