    My gripe with this whole upgrade is they have put in a 2.1bil power boss so I am stuck getting light bringers swords/staff
    How is that fair?
    You have changed the drop rate to be 'fair' but I am stuck through no fault of my own. making drastic changes midway through game is why people are losing interest.

    This is a great point. Why is the new HR boss 2.1B power. Noone will be able to get past lightbringer sword plans without 5-6pc light bringers sets at that rate. SO you are put at a stand still. because players like boo are already at a point where the rune power is nearly maxed out.

    I do believe kyleena posted somewhere that she was told they are going to change this bosses power in an upcoming patch. But when that will be could be in 2 months or 2 days.

    So why are players like boo being punished?

    They did say another patch will be coming soon to address the power of that Heroic boss. I do agree that Heroic Realm progression alone isn't enough to determine a "fair" plan set for drops, though.

    With respect to the comments that advance the idea that you can't use an equipment plan that is beyond the boss you can take out due to inaccessibility to components you are wrong.
    It may take a while but there are RANDOM drops of components all the time coming in from arena and other venues beyond the frontiers that you can access. I have been collecting many guardian components that way for a long time and have not yet broken through the guardian sword drop boss in one world.

    Why not go back to the old system and drop the more advance plans ALONG with some random quota of components too?

    I suppose that part of the problem is that we had the old system and a lot of us accumulated a lot of plans that we could not use. In my case, not counting Spirits I have the following:
    • All the equipment is at least Guardian.
    • I only need 3 sword plans to have either all the Ironhart equipment or plans to craft them with.
    • I have all the Lightbringer plans I need except that I have no relic plans.

    In HR I have beaten Baron Fuego (gives all the Guardian plans) and my next one to beat is The Envoy (gives Ironhart Sword and Staff plans)
    On quests I am up to level 67 that gives the Silver Pot needed for Ironhart Spirit. That means that when I beat Venomius I will be able to get some martial for Lightbringer Swords and Staffs.
    I am level 75.

    Under the current system I am getting Guardian plans.
    Under the old system I was getting Lightbringer plans.
    If it is based on where I am on the Quest path I would be getting Ironhart plans.

    In my case if it was based on the Quest path I would have a chance of getting the 3 Sword plans that I still need and that would help me beat The Envoy in HE and Vemomius in the Quest.

    At a risk of being guilty of repeating myself I will say that in my opinion the WB drops are supposed to be things that would be useful to you that you would not be able to get otherwise. There are the Grand Prize. If what I get is something that I can already get by beating a Boss in HR that I have already beaten, then the prize is not Grand at all.

    As I was writing this I came up with another option that is a compromise between the current HR and my proposed Quest Path methods. Have the drops in WB be for the plans that you could get from the next Boss that you have to beat in WB (The Envoy in my case). That way the drops will be something that I can not currently get in HR (Ironhart Sword and Staff plans) so it will truly be a 'Grand Prize'.

    Funny you should say that, but material drops for level 70 plans aren't going INto my inventory any more. Took a while to notice, but I've had exactly the same number of violets, vases, beath teeth et al for weeks now despite having won them multiple times in arena and lab.

    To add to that, there's a guy on my server who's gotten his light bringers swords and staves.
