RNG has always been the worst part of this game for me. I saw another comment mention this, but its important to remember how much time it takes to do these clears rather than just looking at the number of clears. We only get 3 chances a week, so while 15 clears isn't a lot in terms of raiding, it does take 5 weeks. 5 weeks is way too long for something if another player can get carried through and earn it in 40 minutes. Heck, there are comments here saying they know people who've hopped in, done a single boss checkpoint, and gotten the drop. That probably takes 5-10 minutes, and its the biggest issue here. We're looking at one player getting it in 5-10 minutes, whereas other players will go for 5 months and still not have it. This was the story of D2Y2 for me. I ran Scourge 3x a week, for over 7 months, until I finally got Anarchy on my 88th clear. You can't imagine how many people I saw get it on their first or second clears during that time. That wasn't 'fun', the drop wasn't 'exciting' and the experience certainly wasn't enjoyable. I had to spend 7 months working to earn a weapon that was already 2 whole seasons old. Here we are again, 27 clears and 9 weeks into the grind, and is it fun? No, because I've been here before, and for all I know it'll take another 21 weeks (over 5 months) before I see the drop. The system is busted. As I said in a reply to someone else here: If you have an activity where one person can spend 6+ months doing it on three characters a week, and not get the reward, but another player can get carried through that activity in 40 minutes and receive that same reward, the system is broken.
