My God. Blizzard listened. Casuals will have an absolute blast with 9.1.
They get free welfare gear nearly equivalent to heroic loot as well.
There is a metric ton of things to do and the weekly grind is going to be insane time investment. As a raider, I’m not even sure I can keep up with all this
Torghast wing 9 was rough. i haven’t had this much of a challenge since Twisted Corridors.
woooh.
I am going for the 230 item craft for the alchemy trinket for alts. Pretty decent item for anyone currently at normal and is flexible enough to be used by most roles.
“Welfare gear” makes the game more appealing to more people 
They sure are. They’ll be playing level 10 twinks or some other game.
There’s gonna be like 10x more casual content than actual content. The weekly 100% bar alone is 5 hours
Blizz always listens, just depends on who specifically they listened to
I mean if you call the previous tier wqs/cov gear welfare then sure. This is no different.
guys
im pretty sure everyone quit the game already for FF14, the only welfare they’re giving out is for our undergeared alts
Kinda like Classic and TBC Classic
Auto attack bosses with 1-2 mechanics for easy purples
Oh look. The “am I a butthole” test.
You passed.
Good thing my boyfriend bought liquor today.
i’d rather compete for herbs with bots in TBC. Atleast i have use for money there
As a casual, I’d still like to have access to dungeons again, without having them gatekept by sweatlords that drop group and burn your key at the first sign of trouble, with zero consequences because antisocial behavior doesn’t get policed like in FFXIV. I’ll take what we’re given though.
Nothing is free. Also, I am glad you are a happy casual.
Cool, as an LFR hero, I love outdoor content where I can play solo and work on gear for my Army of vaults. Why? Because I can and it’s fun for me.
Welfare gear doesnt exist at the start of new expansion. No Welfare gear on Shadowlands 9.0, BFA 8.0 and Legion 7.0. It starts to exist on incoming patches like right now on 9.1. Next time, pls dont compare 8.4 to 9.0 or 9.4 to 10.0.
Took me like 45 minutes. Where is all this welfare gear that’s almost heroic ilvl btw? Just wondering what I should go grab before raid comes out.
Wait, wait, wait.
Isn’t the Vault itself welfare loot for raiders?
In Korthia, archivist reputation. Gear drops can be upgraded to 233
