I meeeeeeeeeaaaan… I’m tryin’ to be reasonable to those who don’t have a lot… Also it would still be rng to which new anoint you would get so you could still go through over 1000 eridium if the rng is not in your favor… which is usually my case.
Just had the thought of they could also make it a % of your eridium like they do with money for when you respec your skills.

Make a suggestion option ill add it. Then it wont be biased.
If anything i can add better worded options and list the best condensed ideas. Many ppl have similar ideas. So put em down get it concise and small enough. That i can make it a clear option.
Worse case scenario if ppl feel its biased as it is based off what i see ppl saying making topics for.
I can just make a new one. A better one for all who at least put forth the effort to suggest an option. I mean i said i would in the OP

I can’t speak for @thesuicidefox but I interpreted their protest was from the obviously loaded language in one of the answer options. At the risk of taking a survey on a gaming forum far too seriously, I’ll explain what I mean. By writing, “I like things the way they are. A person should have to farm 8 hours over many days to find their gear. This is a fulltime job” you’ve thrown your own personal baggage onto the answer. It should read simply, “I like things the way they are.” Rather, you’ve included additional characterizations (biases) which are presumptions you’re expecting us to take you up on without proving them first. Case in point: isn’t it possible that someone likes the way things are now and doesn’t agree with those added comments?

I’m glad it’s not just me, been farming traunt for 6 hours straight. Most of the time I get 2 legendaries a run. I’ve had 9 dedicated drops in 6 hours :’( I’ve given up farming him for now. The loot pools are just too crammed that it’s starting to take the fun out of the game now
I should add that it was 6 hours just for today. Been farming in total 6 days for the kaoson that I want

I just got a nice looking corrosive Kaoson from him. That is, I thought it was nice until I looked at the anoint, which was for melee damage.
Just got another nice looking Kaoson. Again, a stupid melee damage anoint.

Ill keep that in mind to curb my sarcasm next time.
I actually tried to edit the poll it wont allow me anymore. Id have to make a new one one day.
Tbh that one just made me laugh. Its like the people.eho have been saying nothing. is wrong since mayhem 2.0 dropped and this is how it should be.
Ive farmed 10 hrs for.one piece to see it drop twice with unusable anointments sliding sandhawk etc
Reworking annointments so that they’re all useful. Buff the crappy legendary guns so there’s some variety. If this were the case would the boo hooing about drop rates cease? Probably not but I feel thats whats missing. If you could kill stuff at M10 with a Kaos everyone would have 1 in their packs instead of leaving them on the ground.
Oh yeah, dedicated loot. Are you bored if u get that gun everytime from that boss? Every other time?

As someone who tried farming a decent Spiritual Driver and killed Rampager way too many times on M4 just because i kinda like the boss but only saw like 2 or 3 Jujus ever.
And who has only seen a handful of Antifreeze despite having run Takedown more than enough.
Id say they arent bugged, they just vary - some of the dedicated drops have abyssmal chances - nothing new there - was the same in old M4.
Katagawa Junior has given me a good number of Sandhawks on M10 - definitely more than i got Jujus, Drivers and Antifreeze combined in M4 %age wise.
Either way id prefer it if every item was in the global pool. Really not a fan of being forced to kill any specific enemy over and over. If its a DLC exclusive item - at least make it global inside that DLC.

I joined the game with m4. Have been farming everytbing i wanted. Mayhem 2.0.comes.out i spend hours soing the same.bosses cant find it anymore. More like insane amounts of useless world drop legebdarys. Both me and my wife like.some.niche gear. Cant even get em.after 40 runs sometimes between two ppl is rediculous.
Edit solo i do way over 100 runs as i yellow cake some bosses. Plague bearer others. I speed kill stuff. Itsa pain for her to rejoin over n over when i kill a boss in under a minute.
The added rng is too much. Im.not having fun anymore.

I think. The uhh hardcore ppl are right. This is what the devs want.
Personally at this point its not fun anymore for me. I think players like myself will probably move to another game where ur rewarded at a more reasonable rate. Tbh at these rates id never recommend bl3 to another player.
I regret investing so much time into the game.
I think i should move on and leave it to the hardcore fulltime job community. I gotta family and i realize 6 hours farming a boss is not enough even after two weeks on and off now.
For me it’s either one of three options, increase dedicated drop rates OR remove a vast amount of guns from the dedicated pool so it’s not so diluted.
Farming traunt I’ll get a dedicated drop about 1 in every 5-10 runs which isn’t terrible but then in fighting against the tankmans shield and devoted and guess who usually wins…
Or as you move up pass the threshold guns drop off so from m1-3 devoted drops then M4-5 tankmans shield drops and M6-10 it’s just the kaoson and the others are moved to world drop pool.

I farmed warden for 10 hours before… 10 nonstop maybe a small break to urinate. And i got 1 plague bearer. Im ashamed to waste my time in this game tbh… I got one and its not annointed for my character but ir works like a charm. And i super speed kill him held back only by his invulnerable stages
Yeah he’s another that has what 3 dedicated drops at least? Sickles, free(something idk) and now plaguebearer

i feel like we should be able to obtain a item with a acceptable annoint in a reasonable time , not everyone have time or even want to spend time with this state of the game.
we should be chasing the gun , not the stat on it . how u feel when u get norfleet legitimately even it have a stupid vladof grip? even u get trash tier stat u still feel happy because 1. its still gd 2. its really fking rare .
so annoint rate 100% is great, now either remove trash tier annoint or remove entire system all together . since everyone and the devs says , mayhem 10 suppose to play with synergized build , which mean in order to actually play m10 in the way intended , a gd annointment is the entry point for m10 , shuting the entry point by dropping slide glide accuracy auto bear fade away phasegrasp annoint blah blah blah, that just make no sense right.

With the dedicated sources as crowded as they are, plus annountments to consider, a guaranteed drop of at least A thing from the loot pool would be cool.
Things like the anarchy or insider have annointments, pellet counts, and elements to consider. Too many moving parts to deal with. Especially with the anarchy, where if you get the “shoot me” barrel, you are in for a lot of accidental ffyl. So yeah, too many moving parts for dedicated drops to not be, at the least, increased, let alone sonewhat guaranteed.
World drop rates are fine as they are, in my opinion
I think that’s an important part of why they haven’t nerfed the anarchy through is that you better be careful factor…otherwise we’d have a constant thread of it’s too op…there was a thread or two like that if I remember but they died pretty quick

Dedicated loot pools need to be thinned down. I don’t think that there should be more than 2 items in a dedicated loot pool for a named/boss. The drop frequency feels OK to me. It’s the anoints that are the problem. There are just too many bad/useless ones. Kinetic versions of weapons also seem to drop far more often than elemental and I think that needs to be adjusted.

Killing a boss on Mayhem 10 (Killavolt) got me 2 legendaries per run, sometimes less.
Even Graveward drops less on Mayhem 10 than used to drop on Mayhem 4, and that is after “the fix”. I was getting several 0 lego runs.
I’d say mayhem loot is just bugged still.
