Hey guys, just wanted to take a moment to talk about Custom Lore Weapons that may drop from Bosses after a main event.
Recently some took issue with the fact that Ner'zhul's staff was given out unexpectedly and with no warning or hint. To some it was made worse it was given to a staff member. Normally when a lore item drops from a boss, the staff does not heavily advertise to avoid a situation where people just make or force their characters into positions to try and get it. We also try to consider all options and mostly choose people who where active during the content and fit the weapon. It's also generally assumed players know when big weapons are going out, as with the Thunder King's Armaments or Garrosh's loot table.
Unfortunately, that kinda fell through because the Staff of Souls is a custom weapon and not on any loot table so players didn't know to bring a character who they felt was deserving to any of the zone events for them to try and atleast get into the contention.
Next time the staff will be alot more cognizant of custom lore items and make sure to try and inform the player base in some way they are going to be available.
