			So I was doing my NW dailies earlier; just going through the quests and everything is the usual, until the very end. As I'm finishing up 3 Warden Aegis dropped basically back to back. Either I got real lucky or something is broken somewhere. Maybe it's just because I've maxed rep in CB and NW and haven't seen anything drop yet and so they all came at once, but the fact that three of the same item dropped makes me think something is wonky with the numbers somewhere.

Drop rates are higher for those bits of kit.
 
You just rolled triple Eridium.  No biggie.  Enjoy the salvage.

			No issue here.  BOE epics now drop far more frequently, only drop items your class can use, and are BOP.  So enjoy.

isnt carbine kind of selling out by upping epic drops for everyone and making them bop? what happened to WORLD DROPS that everyone was excited for?
 
in wow when the lvl 35 epic axe dropped, i nearly shit my pants. now? meh, everyone gets them?
 
also, what if we get a bop thats absolutely useless to us? Cheers to everyone else as i sell it to a vendor?

Something else to consider is that with exception of a very small amount of those epics, many of those items NEED to have their imbuement to actually be considered good. These imbuements require you to do dungeons/adventures to gain this improvement, but otherwise I've seen them easily outdone prior to and currently in Drop 3 by simply crafting. They are nice gear bridges though overall and I see them as being beneficial to fresh 50 or at least for me it's been very nice this week hitting 50 on tuesday and im feeling ready and confident enough to jump straight into vet adventures/dungeons with ease.
 
To add to this...only items with imbuements are BoP, while those without imbuements are all BoE. So I was able to give my friend a Warden aegis for their healing set last night.
 
The only thing I'm kinda "eh..." about is that I wish that world epics prior to this change were grandfathered as BoE to allow people to transition items to alts, sell them, etc as they may have been planning to.
 
Also I think it'd be better if they had released this change with the items being on the renown vendor since they're BoP anyway...

I just told you, you literally cannot get a BOP that is useless to you because those items cannot and will not drop for your class.  You can only ever see world epics your class can use from this point on.  It's called a "smart drop".
 
I also didn't see anybody excited for world drops except for grim-grim gloves, pell databoard, or aegis.  All the other world drops were/are garbage.
 
Using WoW is also a pretty poor argument: everyone in WoW gets "welfare" epics.  These days, epics are expected, not celebrated.

i dont want welfare epics, its not hardcore.
 
i want an rpg game, i dont want 'smart drops' that are supposed to be random and are also supposed to be sellable on the AH. or else what is the point?
 
its almost like people complained about bad stat itemizations, and they fix it by giving us bop epics...
