Chance for drops IS dynamic!

Wow. I have to say I am kinda blown away by a revelation by Bashiok, who is certainly wasting no time in dropping WoW-related bombs since returning from the Diablo 3 team. In a blue post in the official forums responding to perceived flaws in the LFR loot system, he makes one hell of a statement about how the game can, on the fly, improve your odds of getting a drop:

We have tech for quests that increases your chance for a quest item to drop if you haven't gotten one recently, and so that's something we're at least beginning to think about and how that kind of consistency system could translate into things like the LFR.

We'll have to see if they actually use that tech in any way, but Bashiok actually says that they are considering using it to boost loot drops in older tiers of raid content to assist people in reaching the required iLvl. And that would be a hugely welcome change.
