You really hate WoW that much to keep bringing it up? I don't even know what to say to that. The odds of getting a four slotted Blue are really good, huh? No. You could/can end up with just as much shitty two and three slot Blue as shitty two and three shot Purple. I still don't understand you saying a 15% nerf to a chance at getting a 4 slot Purple is great.
Again, that's the slow part of my brain so I guess I'm done with ya. Better than going round and round.
No. The odds of getting a 4 slot blue item (which would be an exceptional upgrade for someone
just like youwas nearly tripled even IF you didn't complete Gold.
If you want me to explain to you the changes to purples in regards to adventures, here's some copy & paste formula for your brain:
Crimelords
32 blue, 8 purple
Based on your pattern with 40 rolls you would have a 100% chance to get your item. With randomness you can statistically never have 100% chance so it has to be logarithmic. The correct formula is:
1-(39/40)^n or 1-[(1-(1/40))^n]
Where n=the number of rolls at a loot table of 40 pieces and you're trying for one piece. If n=3 (3 rolls for gold) it's 7.3% not 7.5%.
there is supposed to be an added roll against a loot table with epics and whatever blues were in the previous silver table. If 20 pieces total (my guess based on differences between wildstarloot.com and jabbithole.com), it's 5% chance. A now more complicated formula considering both loot tables is:
1 - [1-(1/20)] * [1-(1/40)]^3 = 11.9%
And again this is based on getting a single item, which is what most people would consider running an adventure again for. If you can actually use 2 items, the numbers change again not in favor of the "new" system.
This is in reference to getting your desired purple item in an adventure. You roughly have the same chance as before of seeing YOUR DESIRED ITEM - the change can only be considered a nerf if you're looking for multiple purples from the same adventure. Added to this (as mentioned before) you're getting significantly more loot that has the potential to be better than the purples you would have gone for before.
I know that was a lot to take in. Try to read slowly.
