The catch up begins the first week of the season. Anyway I’ve just played the game a lot. Never grinded anything. You get a lot of ap for playing the game. Most of it has come from the island weekly, the warfront turn ins, and mythic plus.

Blizzard doesn’t require this.
Would you tell me the trait requirements them
It’s laughably easy to get to a reasonable level of AP.
So when I’m raiding, I’m simply just not playing the game, nice.

Now yes. Early/mid season always feels aweful though. That’s the issue.
And even now you still have to do lame a** grinds to catch up. I just got a fresh 120 and his neck is 15… Zero traits available. Just feels stupid.
Exactly. Island weekly. Nobody wants to do the weekly. Make a raid weekly then. Boom problem solved and both of them share the same lockout. 1 of two options, do island weekly or kill x many raid bosses or dungeon bosses. Also you play the game a lot as you said. No reason someone shouldn’t be able to hardcore raid mythic while not playing one character constantly.
ONE CHARACTER. So even if you want to play an alt you feel you’re doing yourself a disservice by not grinding away on your main, which feels bad.

Nope. I haven’t ever done more than finish my daily emissary and have never had an issue with AP.
Maybe an island expedition here and there, but I don’t think I’ve done that weekly more than 4 or 5 times. Never made it a point to grind out the AP world quests, either.
How else do you get a decent amount of AP Then? By limiting sources and having large quantities of AP from sources problem don’t want to use they are in fact requiring it.
This is so true. Every kind of player but RPers are dying, though.
Does Blizzard actually think that they can use these content-stretching features and not lose more and more players at a game-killing rate? In almost every business, constant cost-cutting leads to a downward spiral of loss.
If Blizzard would have INVESTED in WoW after MoP they might have still had very solid subscription numbers.
But at this point they probably have only one more shot at getting players back, and that would require investment in making a big game again, a new dev team that puts fun first not stretching content, and an honest address to all players regarding a big change in the company’s approach to WoW. I doubt Blizzard has the will to do these things.

You don’t need to be able to use all the trait before you get the gear man. Idk what else to say. You should be talking to your gm not me.
This is an artificial problem made worse by your refusal to do extremely quick and easy content.
A true hardcore raider takes every advantage they can get. If you want to be Hard core then this is what is asked of you. If not, then there is no problem here.
Cool, because I finished my emmisaries back on 9/29/2018 when I hit exalted with the Tortollan, now I’m penalized because the Azerite I got back them is worth a tiny fraction of what it is now.

It applies to PvP too though… Traits are crucial to your damage. Sure you don’t need the traits to use the gear but it might as well be the case.
Then get out there and work on improving your character instead of asking some one else to for it for you.
I thought skill was rewarded, being that the raid was cleared with heart levels at like 28, 2 stacks of RA, and 371 gear??
It’s really just another soft gear nerf so guilds can get a little boost deeper into the tier when they hit the skill wall.
Fixed that for you.

Wasn’t the case in legion. mic drop
You can still, you know, do emissaries. They give pretty decent rewards. But if you don’t like world quests that’s fine.
You get plenty of AP from literally every activity in the game to keep your neck at a respectable level.
Lol dude by doing ies? Sounds awesome… Definitely the content I want to do my alt for the 4th time. Super stimulating stuff.

Raids don’t give nearly anything, completing dungeons don’t give you nearly anything outside of a weekly box.
