I’m still confused, what is your issue Kinison? This has been the case since Legion - Did you play back then?

Because ilvl requirements for groups are set by individuals with their own motivations. Ilvl rewards are set by blizz so I dont see what you are getting at.
They could give everyone a free set of 400 ilvl gear for logging in and ppl would just make groups requiring 425+,
I mean don’t pug, or just make your own group and put your own requirements.
Because everyone wants a smooth/fast run. I don’t like to carry alts even if they were good.
I actually agree with OP. Gear inflation is too high this expansion. Used to be so that one could put an extra effort into a slightly more difficult content to get slightly ahead of the average. But this expansion average towers so high, there is no incentive to do anything.
Free 385s are good at first, but you quickly understand that it would be much more impactful if you knew that you did something for it that not everyone would do.
Say, you cleared heroic raid whole tier. By now all the gear you got from it is the same as anyone who’s doing emissaries. Only mythic raiders, high m+ players and top pvp players can feel more or less special. But us slightly mid-core casual folks who want to go that extra mile to get a small edge are out of luck.

So what? We are playing an MMO almost every single piece of armor is going to the trash next patch. That’s how the game works since day 1.
Gear gets replaced
That’s true. But! There is a slower cadence to it. Everything is good in moderation.
I don’t mind so much. I like getting new shinies. Maybe one day I’ll wonder into a dungeon I over gear. So what? The hardest content still gives the best gear. I don’t really see the problem.
No one is going to read this but, whatever.
I’ve had/have a big problem with the rate at which gear is being thrown at us this expansion.
First we had the warfront loot pinata that completely invalidated the M+0 farming people did before Keystones came out. Mythic +0 is easy & I’m not trying to say it isn’t, but it’s definitely harder than the almost impossible to fail warfront system.
I don’t have an issue with catch-up systems late into the expansion, but within a few weeks of launch… I mean that’s a bit much. Not to mention it made all the work you did preparing gear wise feel kinda pointless.
Now we have a situation where 370 gear is, as previously stated, being thrown at us. M+8/Heroic Uldir equivalent gear being rewarded from doing a few world quest.
I haven’t even played my main this week after hearing the announcement about the upcoming 385 gear. What’s the point?
Why should I even bother with M+ when a un-fail-able WQ emissary box will likely give me the same thing or better than my once-a-week enchanting shard I get from my M+ box.
I don’t understand why Blizzard wants to invalidate their own content so quickly & then essentially implement another power reset the following tier. What is the point of this?
It kills any feeling of character progression, at least for me.

SO does this mean doing herioc dungeons will drop 370 weapons… I am still using a 355 weapon cuz I cant get anything better to drop.
You want 370+ to be a thing when the next raid is around the corner? This will just force people to stay offline even more. Why would I waste my time if almost everything is the same.
Annnnnd some idiots flagged this post.
I hate the flagging system and the people who abuse it.

No, combined with other things, the gear fire hose has devalued progression in the game.
This is what goes through my head now when I log in: https://youtu.be/C6PNc9KN50M?t=52

Yeah. It does seems to be rolling in. My playing is pretty sparse these days. It must be months until 8.2. I kind of am looking forward to WOW classic this summer (I guess?). I think back to how things were when I played Classic. It’s going to be quite a culture shock. I assume there will be no heirlooms and no account wide mounts, gold, etc?
Literally they have to to get you to do it all over again. Simple.
But is it good for the game for this to happen at the current rate?
I’m asking for others peoples thoughts on the matter because I’m genuinely curious if people like this style of gearing. Somehow though I guess thats considered trolling according to whomever flagged me.
The flag system is really dumb. Like I don’t get it why do they even allow this.

Do people not see this though?
“Hey we made the reward 30% better, but we also made the dungeon 30% harder lol”
What’s the point of this? Do people not see that doing 10k damage to a 100k HP mob is no different than doing 13k damage to a 130k hp mob?

i don’t think dungeon going up is a problem considering they are now broken up in to seasons and as a fan of m+, im ok with it.
