Don't you guys feel that the gap between the lucky and the unlucky is too huge? There should be some middle ground or separate option for the players that will NEVER find a set item / decent legendary.
And just because one person finds legendarys every hour doesn't mean the other person does too...
I know several players who find good items every day, and I know other players (who just quit) who grind hours and hours a day and never found anything even remotely decent.
There needs to be a middle ground.
my characters aren't even very well geared and I've gone an entire week without finding a single item that I didn't end up salvaging, and I've only found 2 set items since RoS launched, one was a BT duncraig cross which was instantly salvaged and another was a half decent pair of akkhan boots
The key words being "single item that I didn't end up salvaging." If that's a complaint, then... sorry, but you're still finding legendaries and that's better than some people. Besides, bad legendaries = forgotten souls = improved legendaries that you already have.
Personally, as long as I'm not sitting around doing nothing or just piddling about, I find plenty of legendaries... especially now with the rift buff. I have a strong feeling that those with the low rate of legendaries are probably inept at proper play or proper farming and are simply making poor use of their time.
I said over an entire WEEK of playing, which was release week, meaning I played bare minimum 8 hours a day, and the droprates were still a joke, if you need further proof, I'm on my sixth rift without a single legendary tonight. The problem with my RNG is that it is reliably bad, and out of the 800 hours I put into D3 vanilla I only ever found one good item and it was a mempo that was 1 crit short of being perfect, everything else was garbage that I couldnt even sell on the AH
Im sad that 90% of my green beams are from set plans and not Tal rasha or Vyrs, gotten only Vyrs gloves while others got BOTH 4set bonus`s.
We cant judge the droprates after only a week, but seem Blizzard is catering to the loud noise that is the vocalminority. YES u can have bad luck and then good luck, i went 2days with 2 crap legs, then next day i got 9 legs (3 were upgrades) in under 2hours
People who respond with "rng is rng" need to fuck off. rng is random but thats too random and not worth the effort. If rng is that bad to one person they just need to make drops rain its a fucking boa game for christ sake. Its not like the gear has cash value anyway.
I've been grinding since patch 2.0 anywhere from 6 - 12 hours a day and have NOT found a single set item. I repeat 0 set items.
On a daily average I find one (horrible) legendary or legendary plan every 2-3 hours of consistent T1+ grinding.
The majority of the few legendaries I've managed to find are horrible 2 handers and badly rolled rings.
Any one else here experiencing the disappointment / bad RNG?
Yep, it is exactly like I have been telling people. The buffed the baseline leg drop chance, then took a massive shit on MF so ultimately you're getting less legs now than you were pre 2.0 if you were farming public inferno6 games. It's bullshit. The only way to get good numbers of legs is to bounty farm in pub games on normal. And then you're not getting very good quality either.
20 rifts, 6-12 hours a day? 20 rifts is like a one full day of gameplay, stop lying to people.
I clear T1 rifts in 15 minutes. So 20 rifts would only take me 5 hours. If anything 6-12 hours is a massive over commitment in time. If you think it would take a full day you should probably do them with the proper amount of gear.
20 Rifts is like 2-2.5 hours. Just because you're slow/inefficient doesn't mean everyone else is.
I've played over 110 hours on my crusader now, completed 271 rifts, and collected 14000 shards.
I haven't found a single set item for my class (3 for other classes). However players claiming they go 3+ hours without legendary is just plain bullshit, ever since the buff I average 1-2 legendaries per rift (T1-2). Occasionally I have one without but that's one rift, not 3 hours of gameplay.
And no I don't count plans as legendaries.
I have completed 10 rifts (not in one session) without any legendary. That streak is still going - I will try another one tonight I guess.

You need to fuck off because that's really the answer. People are just whiners, I've had days with no drops and then suddenly i started getting upgrades again.
Rng is rng. If it's not worth the effort then don't play the game, simple as that.
If they make it rain then people will get bored of the game after 2 days.
12 rifts t3 yesterday.0 legs + no leg from kadala for all obtained shards (~550+). On my 13th run, however, I got 1 plan, a sword and my wand of woh. So, yes rng is and will always be rng. For me, drop rates are fine. I mean do I want the best gear possible within the first month of release? Hell no.
The thing with randomness is that the guy with bad luck one week can be the guy with good luck the following week or the week after that. How long has the expansion been out now?
Long enough for people to throw shitfits that they don't have full BiS gear, apparently.
well I agree with some here, its just a Bind to Account game, no market, no trade, and sometimes de RNG it is too bad for some .. but your eyes always shine when a star appears in the map, but you also have to pray it to be useful ... drop seems a little bit low for me ...
The drop rate would be ok, if legendary were real legendaries, but find some orange garbage every two hours that you can only trade with NPC is very sad ...
miss the trade market from the previous game, but well, its a game from 10 years ago...
I think a big part of this kind of sentiment is that elemental damage isn't on the char sheet DPS total. I think what people really want is steady progression that they can see, and a lot don't really know how much they've improved since the expansion. It's probably more than they know, but the fact that they don't know is the issue itself.

I can only say you are lucky.
I do Torment 1 and 2 when i feel like the challenge. I went through 16 rift yesterday with getting 3 plans and 1 leoric signet that i am still trying to reroll on.
RNG is RNG. and RNG is in your favor.
Won't say I got lot of legendary's cause that is not true. 8/10 times though they have turned into forgotten soul. Though it seems enchantign despises me more than legendary's cause after trying to reroll a neck i have in my bank and my new ring at least 30 times each I have yet to get a proper roll.
My stats so far in legendary's
61-69 (boosting friends and leveling alts) = 51
Bounty's (lvl 70) = 12
Rift = 5 + 9 plans + all the gem recipes
kadela (3500~ blood shards) = 1
With my luck with lvl 70 legs I think i have a better chance jsut going for the campaign mode and the guranteed. it only takes 10-12~ hours to go through anyway on torment 1
After 134 hours played on my crusader today was the day for me to find my first crusader set item. I got a pair boots with crappy stats but atleast I got a set item.
4 hours till I find a leg ... neanderthal ... tired today ... rng is rng .. my girlfriend watching movies almost found the same amount of leg as me ...

Rift bosses drop tokens. Once you've got 1000 tokens you can trade them for a legendary of your choice. 2000 for a weapon. 5000 for a class set piece.
Sound like fun? No. It sounds horrible, because it IS horrible.
