Loot system needs a revamp

    The loot system is terrible across all parts of the game. The seasonal boo belt shouldnt take 50-75 runs to get. We all know the problems in elite with drops. Ive seen people get drops in their first few runs, while it takes another a million tries. It makes ZERO sense for someone to run something sooo much and another guy gets it on their first try. Its absolutely ridiculous. I see the same issue in survival mode too.

    Ive beaten first 10 rounds of survival mode around 35-45 times over the last 3 SM's. Not once have i gotten the following items:

    Palatial Bath
    Luxurious Sink
    Luxury Toilet
    Large Cat Balloon
    Wall Mounted Teleporter Sign
    Ceiling Mounted Teleporter Sign
    Fancy Antique Chandelier
    Red Gas Bomb
    Funhouse Spider
    Kryptonian Floor Seal (FOS SM only)
    Granny's Special Monitor (HH SM only)
    Exo Shirt (oan SM drop only)

    If you do the math thats AT LEAST 350 rounds, so 350 chances for one of these drops and nothing to show for it. Yet i helped soooo many people on their first runs EVER in SM and they got 1 or even 2 of these drops on their very first runs. Maybe its good for others and it sucks for me, but I cannot tell you how stupid & unfair this is.

    This loot system needs a revamp badly.

    I like that stuff is rare
    Any of those items (except the shirt) can be bought in the broker. You can still buy and sell...for example I sold a Palatial bath and bought a Teleporter sign this time around. The Booster bundle auras work the same way.

    Why do some players feel they are entitled to have 'everything'?

    Yea all those items can be had in broker for millions. You literally have to dish out 5-20 mil for one of them. I actually have paid for them 3 of those items. I will no longer buy anymore though.

    And how do i feel entitled to have everything? I cant even get ONE of these ridiculously expensive items. That comment makes no sense.

    If their revamp didnt fix the problems, then why not?

    If rare is rare then people shouldnt be able to get these items on their very first run.

    Loot system is great. We get choices of what we want, and we can get extra marks from old content, and any gear we get is unattuned. It's an amazing system compared to what it was.

    The problem is, players think they need all the top gear. And they don't.

    Apologies, typed too fast I was referring to the Boo-tility Belt, that is rare and some folks just get lucky.

    SM base items, random is random.

    So because some ppl dont get what they want it needs a revamp? Nah sorry rng isn't something a loot system can fix

    I think you have to create a thread for that first before you can use that statement.

    Heres the problem with what yourse saying and same thing someone else said already. Who said anything about having ALL the top gear? First of all i mentioned base items, but anyway, im not asking to have all of them. I cant even get ONE of those things i listed.

    The real issue is how uneven the loot system is. If its rare, NO ONE should be able to get these items in their first couple runs, while another person runs it 350 times and cant even get 1 of these drops. So everyone stop exaggerating or assuming im asking for ALL items. The point is pretty clear in my post.

    Actually no, SM base items are not random. That entire list i made are the rarest items in SM. They hardly ever drop, but ive seen people get some on their very first runs and i cannot tell you how especially frustrating that is. Same goes with the Boo Belt. My league mate ran it like 5-10 times and got it while im at 50 runs (most likely more).

    So because some people do get what they want, it doesnt need a revamp?

    Theres a new post about loot daily. Clearly its not just "some" people like youre making it out to be. It seems like the majority arent getting drops.
