to be honest im not so upset with refarming my gear on eternal realm in general.
But the decreased droprate of items annoys me
It doesnt matter if they care about it or not. This is how expansions work. They work that way for every rpg. Playing eternal is like playing an aRPG version of an MMO or at least that should be how it is. Where things are persistent. Even in those games when new content comes, there is new level and item progression.
Thats how expansions work whether they care about it or not. No gaming company makes an expansion and then just gives you all the gear at the end power level for that expansion.
Its arbitrary statements like âthis is how its always beenâ that ensure change never happens. To bad there isnt a place to discuss possibilites of alternatives, or even solutions.
Im a customer, therefor I dont get paid to find solutions on how to improve company sales. Especially when that company claims to listen to the community over the past years.
In fact I paid for something that shouldnt change 3 or more times throughout a year claiming its non-season realm when in fact its seasonal playstyle due to red skulls being shoved in my face (indicating that your character is wearing old gear that is useless now) every couple of months and I can start all over again and again and again. Its like effin without the big O.
In the end I can say if you dont like seasons then dont play this game at all. Because just like in seasonal realm, the effort you put in the characters in NON-seasonal realm will be shredded to bits every couple of months aswell.

In this case, it is how it should always be. The point of these types of games is progression and finding loot. If an expansion comes out and they hand you the best loot then there is neither progression nor the reason to find loot.
The term âbest lootâ is subjective because I dont consider what streamers call âmetaâ to be the best.
I dont think I am asking for the best loot in the game though, I think I am asking for equivilant loot. Some people have said they want the best loot but it is an exhageration of what I have said. I agree the seasonal realm should be meant for starting over every few months, but I dont believe that is what the eternal realm is for.
I believe the gear that gets transfered to the eternal realm should not be changed at all as it stands in season 5 going into season 6. I dont mind a new cieling to farm new builds for at all, its rather enjoyable actually. But in the eternal realm I take my time, unconstrained by the parameters of a season.
I however do mind my previous work being rewritten and replaced with lesser results. Yes, I know what expansions are but an expansion doesnt HAVE to be like this in regards to gear being invalidated and I know im not the only one that thinks that. But being gaslit into believing that I was given access to ânew powerâ when all they did was delete the power I had? There is no reason stats like movement speed, etc. Etc. Should be lowered on gear we are playing with currently, since all of these charaters will be transfered to the eternal realm after this season.
If eternal realm and its players dont matter than this wouldnt be a problem. And if it is a problem, than the eternal realm and its players DO in fact matter.
We cant have it both ways here, so what would be the issue with transfering our gear with the stats they have now, as is, to the eternal realm when season 6 starts? Genuinely curious
That 2019 demo looks so much better than the final product. 
wtf
Yeah after hearing about these changes Iâm really glad I didnât pre-order.
