After an inquiry by Angzt on Twitter, Nevalistis confirmed that the organ droprates for ubers got stealth buffed last night. Up to 100% on T6. Only organs though - keys are still a chore to farm.
For me personally not interesting enough since I'm happy with my amulets (well most of them)... but might be of interest for some of you.
Make sure you do ubers in full groups tough. You waste so much if you don't group up (1 amulet per 4 machines instead of 4 amulets).
Was pretty much inevitable they were going to do this after the Bounty buff. Now that there is a decent amount of items and with legendary gems to build stuff around, they are stripping away the tedium of certain farming, giving people more equitable options. Before 2.1 you did rifts, and that's it. Now, Rifts give good legs, GRifts give guarentee legs + gem upgrades, Bounties are guarenteed legs + good exp + souls, and now farming hellfire is reasonable (only 3 layers of RNG to it instead of 4).
Very likely to get a legendary is not guaranteed 99% != 100%
It's great to know that the organ drops are guaranteed now at A6, but it's still not special enough to justify being worth the amount of effort that you go through. I appreciate the extra passive, but I don't think these are build-maker items and with the amount of effort that goes in to them, they should be. I find it sad that they won't take a few moments to make these things better (They've publicly stated that they'd rather focus on new events like grifts and seasons rather than rehash "old" things like Hellfire Rings).
About time. I stopped farming organs and keys after a day. It was such a tedious task and i have no idea why they didn't give us a 100% drop rate chance at maximum difficulty like we had in Vanilla.
Sure, now it will be easier to farm, but surely more fun, and i think that's what important.

Personally I'd rather it have been the other way around. Buff the key drops but keep the organs as they were.
Keys are horrid to farm, particularly Act 2.
You do realize that if the key don't drop, you can instantly remake the game and try again right? If the organ don't drop, guess what you need to do? That's right, farm a completely new set of keys (4 wardens) again.

Id rather work for keys then the organs...so yes to this.
blizz will continue to dumb down their content and the proceed to wonder why people dont play as much.
welfare legendaries for everyone! who knows what for.. the game is 18+.. they shouldnt cater to all the kids playing it... if they cant handle farming, they need to go play tic tac toe for almost instant gratification.

I guess you've never had to farm the Act 2 keywarden nearly 20 times on T4 to get one key, have you? It's enough to put you off Hellfire Jewellery forever.

Blizz has so consistently "unlocked" difficult content after release I'd say its a policy now. I think they release all new content at a high level of difficulty to keep the die hards happy, once most of the die hards have completed it or are farmed to the point where it is easy, they nerf the content to get the casuals in as well.
Makes me think there is likely a nerf to grift difficulty on the horizon not that far out there, or some wide reaching buffs that accomplish the same (probably to get the other 4 classes on apr w/ solo dh.)

Under "people who CAN handle farming" one might think of no lifers, you know, many people have a life, no time to farm 10h per day, so yes, this is very welcome because believe it or not, vast majority of players are casuals, few hours per day

Correction: no guaranteed legs in Grifts.
