Drop rate of Titan Runestones has a special place in hell reserved for it. TIred of seeing people who just came back to wow running around in 608 capes while some of us have killed bosses every single week and aren't done with it. Legendaries should not be tied to RNG.

It would be nice if there was some way for people coming back to the game to catch up a little quicker though, between RNG drop rates in MSV/HOF for the tokens plus the 6 weeks of gathering valor seems pretty extensive when you're having to do that all through LFR which can be pretty taxing ha ha

not saying they should be able to catch right up to current raiders but to at least get through the old content a bit faster and start the ToT grind with the rest of us.

I like the Firelands approach to legendaries. You have some RNG with the amount you obtain from each part of the quest, but you obtain it at a constant rate and know if you keep doing it you'll finish without having to hope that it will happen.

For legendaries are least (not sure if this is what you're referring to), they did that already where they increased the drop rates for sigils and decreased the Test of Valor quest to 3000 instead of 6000.
