Well, if everything were easy to obtain, it wouldn’t feel special anymore. However, it is insulting to constantly see only whites or greens in this specific scenario.
That said, with the nerf to current drop rates, I also found a legendary Torgue rifle in a freaking portapotty on normal difficult without mayhem so they’re out there.
I just ignore them now. I’m fairly positive they can’t even spawn leggos.
I dislike this whole “borderlands veteran” mumbo jumbo about people who complain about the game. I don’t care that you ‘no lifed’ the last two games and had to walk up a snowy hill 8 miles to get there. We all played BL1/2, get over yourselves and let people complain if they find loot entertaining. Honestly you people find it so impressive playing and grinding a game that no one plays anymore so you can brag to literally no one that cares anymore.
Sorry. /rant over. Lying down now

Uh, did you read what I wrote? People can complain all they want… but the point is, the loot is there. You just have to find it. Just and fyi, I’m playing BL3, not the other two games. I was just referencing the differences in loot. BL3 has way more loot than either of the three previous games.
People are allowed to complain… People are allowed to also talk about how much fun they have playing this game. I think you may need to rethink what you were trying to say.
The older games did, because they were so much more rare, not like this game, where you get to go into multiple. In this game, the twins say that the true power and loot of the vaults are from the monsters themselves, I feel like they threw that in for this reason here.
That the knowledge, power, technology, is actually coming from the monsters, not the vault itself.
I know it seems like a stretch, but it is what it is it seems.

Imagine being an insanely advanced race and having an INSANELY powerful creature guard absolute trash… it’s the biggest and oldest troll in the book, the guardians are just doing this for a laugh because they were bored I guess LOL

Is this a joke?
This can’t be true, can it?
Anyone?
There is no truth to it.

plot twist: Typhon’s fabricator is powered by draining the legendary loot from vaults, and the new DLC is to hunt down and kill other vault hunters so that we can reverse the effect.

The vaults should have had unique items or Eridian weapons in there. Stuff you can’t get from other drops.
Why the hell is there maliwan, torgue, hyperion, etc stuff in a thousand year old vault?

2 things bug me about vaults.
- the gun rarity in them seems kind of blah.
- i thought these vaults were closed for like centuries, so why are maliwan, jakobs or even atlas guns inside vault chests.

If this is what I looked forward to for 4 years, I’m not getting my hopes up for bl4
I’m not suggesting the vaults should contain all anointed legendaries, but there’s something wrong when you’re farming a boss and you feel it’s more efficient to skip the vault each run. (If farming a boss guarding a vault)
On true vault hunter mode mayhem 3 opening the four chests (why only four?) and getting nothing but greens and whites is very disappointing to say the least.
I’d like it if they at least added more chests, that way it would sort of compromise between the people saying the drop rates are still too high, and people wanting to be rewarded for slaying vault monsters. Even opening 20 chests in a row you are more than likely not getting a single legendary, but at the same time your chances of getting a legendary are much higher than just the four meesly chests.
Without directly affecting the legendary drop rate there’s alternatives to making the vaults much more rewarding, unfortunately, I doubt gearbox is planning anything. I’m assuming they feel the vaults are “in a good place” and “reward the player appropriately for time invested in activity.”

I get why they did it but yes it is a little disappointing, especially after the generous nature of the bosses themselves.
What we really need is an armory like Knoxx or a chest room like Leviathan. But that will probably come with dlc. Loot is plentyful in other ways.
Hey, who knows, perhaps there was some misinterpretation of Eridian texts and those are not Vaults but Garbage Dumps. 
Their english->german translation of “Vault Hunter” in “Kammerjäger” is also funny, because in german this means “Pest Exterminator”.

Atlas guns especially don’t make sense since Rhys just turned around the company recently – when he took over Atlas in Tales from the Borderlands - and, according to Marcus (in ECHO logs found in Meridian Outskirts), the guns made before Rhys took over had DRM on them and disabled themselves.
Maybe the Guardians have been stealing loot and re-stocking the vault with what they think is valuable, but some of them have found rubbish loot, because they can’t read english writing or chinese numerals. Lol. =]

another reason I just cant be bothered to login and play. jumped night before last and literally starred at the loading screen then just turned it off unless something drastic changes I cant see Ill log on again anytime soon. Its at point where it’s boring and unrewarding for me. The free DLC was a disappointment, seriously kill Captain Haunt 25 times, who thought that would be a good idea, I was bored with that after about the first 5, trudged my way to about 15 then gave up due to the lack drops of the new gear. BL 3 has turned into a dumpster fire
If I’m farming a boss, I don’t even bother to go into the vault to loot it. The loot is so bad in the chests that it’s more efficient to just restart and kill the boss again instead of wasting time going in to the vault.
That doesn’t really feel right… I would prefer if looting the chests yielded something cool. As it is, they may as well remove the vaults altogether for all the difference it would make.
