The game gives everyone the same choices in how they get gear. It does not lock anyone out.
If you do not like the consequences of the choices you make in the gearing process, then instead of whining about those consequences, you are free to make other choices about how you gear.
This thread, and all those like it, are players whining about the easily foreseeable consequences of the choices that they are making.
That’s their goal, to keep people playing on the gear grindmill lmao. I don’t know how this isn’t apparent. With the reduction in loot in M+, LFR rolling on gear and losing personal loot, and now this… lmao
Admittedly I do not understand how this stuff works. However, even though it will always exist, the condemning/complain of of “I deserve/need” and “you do not deserver/need” whatever between casuals and non-casuals seemed to have died back in DF. Sounds like Blizzard found a way to douse a smoldering fire with high-octane gasoline.
For solo players (Raiders, Mythic+ and PvPers need not answer) is there any reason to play current content? I’m not seeing it. We play current content to get…currencies for current gear? I can play one expansion behind, with catchups, and just enjoy the world and game. What is the point of playing current stuff? To me it seems boring. Just get stronger gear to increase our numbers. I canceled my sub but have a couple of weeks of left. Is there any reason for a solo player to pay for current content?
