More than half the season is already over, I farmed over 700k honor and I still couldn't get even one ring of knowledge on my mage, but I got the bulwark of azzinoth atleast 3 times, other plate and mail gear that I can't wear in multiple copies and overall it seems like the game wants me to play melee as a mage. I think the probability to loot something relevant to your class are way too small and this needs to change.
You can either:
- boost the probability to loot something relevant to your class
- enable loot only for your class on each chest
- give 2 piece of gear per chest
Any of these changes would make the intense honor farming more rewarding and would keep more people on the server.
As has been stated multiple times, the "chest system" is there to emulate the gearing process Onyxia players go through and all it's hardships and reliance on RNG. It's nothing more than an alternate, PvP-focused way to go through a similar process. None of your suggestions are something that Onyxia gets to have in their PvE gearing - and you already don't have any risk of the drop you want being stolen by a ninja.
If such gearing process isn't something you want, play the WotLK Blackrock version instead.
