Omen drops and their need to change. Badly.

I write this as an upset farmer.

You guys need to change the way drops work on Omen in Polaris.

I have been farming him pretty much none stop for the past few days across three different characters in the same battle. All I wanted from this guy was really the hat and the shoes for fire school for my fire. I've gotten the shoes a couple days ago. I need the hat. I'm not getting the hat. I am mad.

What has tipped my frustration so much that I am messaging you is that I just finished another fight in which all three characters got a mastery amulet on those drops. All of them. The only piece of gear was an amulet.

First of all, take off the no trade. All other dropped amulets are able to trade and these should be too.

Second of all, this is absurd. I have gotten well over 50 amulets dropped in total across all of the characters that I have played him on. The high drop rate is nice

But

What is NOT nice is when these drops count for the gear drop you get at the end of the fight. I am getting multiples of these now. nobody on earth needs these things in multiples Especially when they are no trade, which again should be changed.

Please,

For the love of mike,

Change this.

It is insane that I should have all of these amulets (and mounts, btw which I have incredible numbers of as well). Literally, no one needs that many mounts or amulets. And when everyone gets an amulet as a drop instead of actual gear? That's beyond ridiculous.

What you need to do is either change the rate of drops to amulets to something much lower so that I can get real chances of actual gear,

Or a better option is to make the amulet drop its own slot. Like give the character a piece of actual usable gear instead of...

No, actually, you know what?

Just take out the any class gear that no one will ever use in a million years, that would be even better,

But seeing as how I know you won't do that, please just make it so that I get a drop at the end of the fight that is promised but that can't be over taken by an amulet.

This is honestly worse than the way Darkmoor used to be before the chest.

P.S. I've literally gotten everything else on every other character And I've gotten everything that could drop on the fire with the exception of the fire hat.

Here's the thing, most people farm Omen for the masteries and the mounts, I don't see very many farming for the hat and boots so changing the drop mechanics would hurt those people. The hat and boots have very little use beyond PVE and is not used too often in pvp. It may be a nice stitch (which is what most people are going for when they farm for the hat) but in terms of stats, the majoris helm is nearly as powerful and way easier to farm and same for he majoris boots.
