Battle for Azeroth Retrospective - Did Corruption Succeed in Patch 8.3?
One of the most important elements of design in any MMORPG is items - they are the core mechanism by which we upgrade our characters, and there are many ways that their design can enrich or weight down the experience of playing World of Warcraft.
Patch 8.3 brought the biggest upheaval to high-end itemization in World of Warcraft's history with the Corruption system. Today, we're going to break down the system and talk about where it succeeded and where it failed. We'll also take a look at the future of the game and how systems like Corruption fit into it. We need to start, however, with a look at the past and the evolution of WoW's loot system in the expansions leading up to now.

The Removal of Master Loot: Has Personal Loot Succeeded in Battle for Azeroth?
Over World of Warcraft's 15 year history, gear has evolved dramatically. It's no surprise that the rules and systems surrounding it have changed too. The last few expansions have pushed loot rules further towards Personal Loot, first by making it the default option, then by limiting Master Looter to only be available to guild groups, and then finally in Battle for Azeroth by removing Master Looter entirely.
In this article, I'll go over the benefits and drawbacks of this new paradigm, and then give my own opinion on the best path forward, but let's start by explaining the current rules and the relevant ones from the past to provide the context for this discussion.
