Dungeon loot needs a buff
Something needs to be really done about the current PvE dungeon loot. I feel like for the amount of mats that are required for VM8 over the quantity that seems to drop from LKNM/KMNM is way too low. The fact you can spent all day organizing parties, wasting your time and resources as you get out rolled every single time. There is just no profit or motivation out of it due to the amount of time you spend grinding for that new gear over how much time you'll be left to use it until another VM gear cycle. Which is why there either needs to be a dungeon loot buff or introducing more ways to get vm8 mats from PvE like tokens or solo dungeons.
Ofcourse I understand that you can technically just keep spamming kumas all day and then running IoD bams and from what i see get most of the mats, which makes then running dungeons much less profitable overall for most players. Because there is just nothing hard about that, its just a tedious boring way of obtaining it.

Some people made their VM8 weapon on the first week.
And there's this abysmal drop rate of designs to make the grind even more fascinating.
Next patch we get (which might be in Jan seeing as RU just got it) introduces a new dungeon that'll act much like Manglemire in terms of providing another way to give VM materials. Just look up Lakan's Twisted Prison if you want.
I used to have full starfall set during ninja patch.
2. we need more tank for rmhm. Sometimes, it takes forever getting one.
3. Need little more reward from rmhm. I think, many people think that, it's not worth to run.
* i grind all my mats, i do not buy any box
In a game where the lack of tanks is a such big issue, last thing i need to be picky about whenever i want to find someone who would be willing pass all mats to me. Its simply not possible in pug runs anyway. Your suppose to get them thru out rolling against 4 other people and even then its barely any progress done. Which leads up to the only best consistent way of getting these mats is thru BC/KS store and that requires BGs to que which nobody does.
I get people to pass for me easily, but I guess I'm the tank in this case anyways. You can always pay people 2k to pass as well, which is cheaper than opening boxes and getting nothing out of 40 of them. You could also have a tank of your own to get mats as well. People complain about lack of tanks but then never want to tank. I am a healer main yet I tank 99% of the time since no one else will.
paying 2k to each person!? depends then on what. for crystals and powder that's a lot to convince someone to pass on their 20% chance on winning that untradeable mat. For handkerchief that's another story.
People already pass for free as it is, so pay what ever you want if you can't find people to for free, is all I am saying. Pass runs, free or not, isn't really uncommon. You said the issue is lack of tanks, but the mats have nothing to do with that issue anyways.
TS, join a really nice guild. If you're good at RMH, you'll find a group to run it with regularly and they'll help you. Other than that, you're basically screwed and will grind all year getting hankies if you plan to lfg it. Even if you bribe people ("i'll give you all 2k each to pass on the handkerchief") they can screw you at the end of the run by rolling on it anyway, or they can do what most people running RMHM will do and say "no, I'm only here for that exact same material, good luck buddy". At that point you can either try to bargain some more if you're in an important role like tank or healer, or you can just suck it up and pray for good rng. It sucks. It does. I don't know what to tell you, it's always been like this, in the past it was worse. Towards the end of this patch they will probably make it easier to obtain like they did with imperator before this, SF before that, and lucid before that.
