How often do you get stuck trying to get a certain drop? How long does it take you? So guys. well? Here's mine.
Whenever I try to farm a Katana from Mooshu, I always get very unlucky. Every time. Must have taken a week to get one to stitch for my lifeforce blade, and I still haven't gotten another. I got several crowns items including a jade oni while trying. (Like the armor from the new hoard pack, but the sword doesn't look like the kind I'm after ah well, it's gonna feel great when i get it)

Wish for something else, your odds are better in getting something you aren't actively wanting.

It never fails that you will receive the exact items you didn't want.

The only time I actually gripe about drops if it comes from a dungeon/boss that I cannot solo on my own.

Mainly: Waterworks equipment. Taking about an hour+ per run, frustrating cheats/rules, not getting the item you are looking for is ... unfortunate.

My myth wizard had to do a complete waterworks run 16 times before finally getting the body piece. And that does not include all the INcomplete runs made with failing groups, randomly afk'ing wizards, and time it took to find groups.

I agree, I took my Life wizard though many times and finally ended up with the robe just before doing end of Zafaria, Mirror Lake experiencing all you did. Clearly I made it though Zafaria with my level 58, WinterTusk crafted gear mix.

Not all of us have a top notch group to do the run with and must take what we can get. This gear is so unreachable by so many it's silly. Seriously some of us are in no mood or even have the time to repeatedly do a dungeon that takes any where from 1-4 hours depending, for a slim chance of a needed drop.

After running my Death wiz though a few times, I did get the robe but no boots or hat, I gave it up, I had crafted the Wintertusk helmet which is better for my game play style and used level 58 boots. For my Storm wiz no runs though and all Wintertusk crafted gear. If it's not as good as the WW gear too bad, I will just treat it like another game challenge and compensate for it.

Crafting is no picnic either, my Life wizard is the only one that can do it and gathering the ingredients can be a chore but it took a lot less time then the Water Works runs would of.
