You are not getting gear from Mythic Plus because the loot system is random, and you may not receive a piece of gear even if you complete the dungeon, with your chances of getting an item roughly between 20-30%. The Mythic Plus system does not have bad luck protection, meaning you may go several runs without receiving any gear, or you might receive multiple pieces in consecutive runs.
