would it not be better for the PLAYERS if they allowed azerite armor to drop from m+ chests?

what the heck do you guys expect - you either get RNG or you get to ‘earn’ your piece of gear. I personally don’t care for this earning part via currency because it generally just makes things into a grind I feel I have to do. But people asked for this, you really didn’t think it was going to save the average person time in obtaining them did you ?
Ok? so give me 370 specific that should take around 2 weeks to get. I’d be fine with 370 as long as it has the NEEDED traits for my class. The traits are so over powered that I would have the same survivability in 340 gear with the traits than 385 with out the traits. See my dilemma?

Sorry, I couldn’t hear your whining on M+ players over your loud cries of “NERF BLOOD DK I CAN’T GET INVITES BECAUSE MY IO IS LOW”
But please, continue.
i hope you’re wrong that would be an insult.
“want a side of slap in the face with your main dish of sadness?”
Yeah… I agree with you, my point is that we’ve known it was going to be like this for about a month. I don’t like it either, but it’s not a surprise we knew already.
But yes I do believe it should be a lot quicker to buy the targeted pieces, the whole point of the azerite system is that we can get multiple pieces and, if they design the traits properly, we want to have multiple sets for different situations.
The fix/change I would like is to have both things run simultaneously: One random piece every 2-3 weeks AND one specific piece every 9 weeks. This could be implemented in various ways probably the easiest one would be to add a second type of currency for the targeted pieces so we can freely buy the random ones every 2-3 weeks but we still get the specific one every 9.
I am also confused by the item level here. Isn’t mythic +10 385 currently and on-par (ilvl wise) with mythic raid?
But the currency gear which takes 9 weeks (or less if it’s patched) is on par with normal Dazar’Alor gear?
Seems to me like the ilvl is too low. Minimally I would think weeks worth of grinding should put you on par with heroic ilvl no?
Wow. Talk about a grind. If you aren’t pushing M10+ keys you won’t be getting a piece before flying is out, eh?
I saw on Wowhead that a 355 piece is worth a whopping 3 Residuum. They truly have created that M+ or die situation they’ve been shooting for.

Wait, huh?!?? Guaranteed?!! Since when? Is that new with 8.1?!?
Yup lmao! Like people are obviously gonna shoot for current bis traits… for a system… that isnt even close to being called “polished”…
Man, that’s gonna blow Lmfao!
Less, because unless you only play one toon you’re looking at simply ridiculous amounts of time/effort to “optimally” collect the new currency. Not to mention, there’s no way an alt can collect the same amount a player’s main can unless they are actually a “second main” (ilvl, HoA, clears same level of m+ and raid difficulty every week etc, which is probably not possible if you’ve gotta pug for that second main). Just imo.
Whoa hey now, the devs decide what we should consider fun, mmmk? Like the BFA GCD changes. Or having a broken spec for (at least) the entire first raid tier, as so many of them are. Or almost every class just chasing haste. Or your preferred spec being useless and avoided like the plague for m+. Or WW Monk being pointless and having to stand in fire purposefully wasting a defensive to do competitive damage, especially when Havoc DHs do everything WW does except better. Or whatever it was they did to tanks to make Blood DK the obvious/highly preferred choice for all forms of content. Or removing tier to have “more gearing options” when Azerite gear doesn’t even have secondary stats, can’t be replaced by gear with secondary stats and for the vast majority of Azerite gear to specific classes will have entirely garbage traits…
Such fun much fun!

Did a 7 and received 19 of them. Scrapped a piece of gear and got 1. For those of us who do not do mythic 10+'s it will take around 31 weeks. So I will be able to get my 385 piece Tuesday, July 31, 2019. Seems reasonable.

M+ 10 only drops 370 and has zero chance to drop azerite gear so the only way to get azerite is to farm this crap or raid. The raid only gives one solid piece of gear for my spec and mythic raiding is the only way to get 385.
Again I’m fine with 370s if I could target my gear in a reasonable amount of time. But you also cant tell me doing 16’s 17’s and 18’s in time is easier than doing mythic raiding seeing how it took mythic raiders with mythic gear to clear 17’s and higher AFTER they had obtained cutting edge and all the gear that followed. its BS to add in such a great idea then crush it by not letting gear scale. 15’s or hell 16’s should award 385.

No matter what we suggest, we can’t get away from loot boxes, I mean… Roulette rolls. That chart puts in perspective how insulting this system is more.
Just give back badges? Like, common now.

Well you can clear normal and heroic which drops 385 on normal and 400 on heroic… so presumably it is not for you?
But if it’s intended for LFR folks, what keys are those folks clearing? Likely < 7 and thus less than 19 residium per week? I mean even a +5 has base 385 end of dungeon loot.
I honestly cannot tell if this system is incomplete, I just don’t get it, or it legitimately is that terrible.
Now if the ilvls will adjust when season 2 start, why not wait to add the vendor until then? Is it so you can start S2 with S1 BiS for those that can farm enough currency by then? Does the current gear contain S1 or S2 traits?
Does it genuinely need to be this confusing?
This is better than tier how again?

is that the actual reason for this nonsense?
I still stand by my original statement in alpha: the Azerite gear system is trash and should have never been put into the game.

They said they would be watching to see if changes are needed. If they are that low I wouldn’t be surprised in a week or two that they up the currency rewards.
Edit: and it will take much longer if you are only doing a weekly mythic and basing it off of that.
This. We can scrap stuff to get residuum.
BDA might last 6 months. Even if it takes 8 weeks to get a piece (it’ll be much faster), that still means you’re getting 3 BIS pieces without having to step into a raid.
That, and “it’s too hard to balance”…
From a wealthy triple A gaming company that was doing it for years upon years.
At best your looking at 5-6 weeks doing a 15 in time and farming all 370 world quests. Mythic raiders might be able to knock 1 week off making it 4-5 weeks? with luck you’re talking about clearing 1 piece of gear by next raid tier
