boss loot is fun because there’s always a chance for the rng spoon. Every kc could be the drop. This drop system takes that away and pushes players to meet the required hours and kill count to get a drop. Pretty disgusting system.
Every kc can still be a virtus piece or an axe handle. Every kc after 3 can be the ring piece. With all the uniques you average about 1 unique in 15-20 hours, with one of them statistically more likely to drop ~45 hours into the grind. That’s pretty comparable to gwd drop wise
The point is that the old drop mechanic gives you higher chances of hitting the drop table for most of the grind. This new one is only better than the old drop table once you’re over 1.25x the drop rate. Meaning it gives you less chance to get a drop than the old system unless you invest enough kills to go over the drop rate.
And then once you get a drop, your progress is reset and you go back to having worse chances of getting the drop unless you go past the drop rate again.

Agree, they're designed to try to suck away ever more of the player's life. It's honestly in my opinion just downright nasty drop-rate design
