Again, a weekly quest for one faction negates pretty much all content. If you want heroic level gear, you should put the time into heroic raids, or getting your rating up. Or capping through the cp system every week.
So make it a 50%. Gear like that shouldn’t just be handed out no matter what faction gets it.
LOL we didn’t have a free 10%. Alliance just didn’t want to turn it on. Even if it were true by now with the 30% buff to AP alone you guys would have caught up. Handing out heroic ilvl gear to those who wouldn’t even do raid content or rated pvp seems a bit ridiculous to begin with.
If you’re OK with zero effort heroic raid quality loot being handed out literally the same day the raid is released you’re part of the reason why this game is in such a sorry state.
The gameplay decision to add Blood Elves has NOTHING to do with lore. Like I said, at the time a lot of people wanted Ogres and were speculated. Blizzard decided to add a new race. They chose Blood Elves. Why? because there was lore in WC3? Why not Naga then? Or Ogres? Or Pandas (which have a stronger tie to Thrall than Blood Elves in WC3 lore)
Blizzard made the decision to add Blood Elves because they wanted to give the Horde a pretty race. End of story. THey than wrote the lore to justify a player race on the Horde based on lore from WC3.
Are we really gonna pretend like some imbalance at top end raiding/pvp is even comparible to the ridiculous glut of high ilvl loot completely invalidating anything below mythic raiding?
Horde racials being OP is a meme. Ever look at bloodmallet? Dispellable effects during a boss fight isn’t “designing a fight around a racial” btw.
??? You do realize that the leading raid guild horde side used to be alliance, right? It’s not that the Alliance doesn’t want to participate, it’s that the players that did all faction changed for the OP racials.
Simply put, it’s because they NEED a hand out. It’s like the slow kid in class that gets moved to the leg up program. Even with free heroic gear, they will still be dominated in every sense of the word.
It is not nothing. It is a reward for a quest, which for many can be challenging- especially if we are thrown into the wrong shard. Just calm down, stop crying, and play the game.
