I am out of here

WoW drop rates are high enough that the opposite happens... you have a 12-25% chance for most items, which is a legitimate chance of getting a decent piece of gear on a run. People can focus on gear and this blurs the focus on friendship / fun.

The "problem" to me is that alhtough it is a 12-25% chance. The chance for a different item is next to nill (or rather, 5 items each has 20% or something). In Diablo and Diablo 2, you havd a gazillion items possible,each with a minusculous chance. Most was of no good to a particular person, but over all, it was more fun and exciting to get surprises like that, at least for me. And you could get the same item from many different places and could play were you enjoyed the most and even while doing other stuff. You could get your essence of fire while looking for felcloth for exmaple....
