Nope! Not interested, so clearly not. If raiders, M+, and etc don’t have to upgrade the box to get their drops at that ilvl as well then they’re ahead of getting gear. Make them have to grind the box as well and any drops beforehand are ‘lower’ then maybe it’d be a correct system.
If you’re a “Raider” or “M+er” why do you even need gear? If you killed the boss, you already had the gear to be eat it! :3 Checkmate.
Far as I’m aware, raid, M+, and PvP gear doesn’t require upgrades to get the gear to drop at it’s max ilvl? It just drops that way from the start, no matter how early someone clears it. So, day 1 for normal/heroic raids and at least half of mythic on week 1, etc. M+ is even faster.
Says the “I’m a raider but I’ve only done LFR” panda~
That’s not how any of that works, other than raid gear.
M+ drops many ilvls below what is considered good, and you have to upgrade a rating in order to earn the ability to upgrade those items. In order to earn that rating, you have to progressively upgrade keys by playing those dungeons.
PvP gear is improved purely by upgrades. You funnel resources into upgrading them by progressing a rating system that allows you to further upgrade them.
Your argument was that they need the gear to do the higher difficulty, and if they can kill the mythic bosses in heroic gear then they don’t need any more gear, especially end-raid bosses.
It is, actually. M+ Drops gear at the max ilvl for that M+ no matter what level your box is at. Same for raids, same for PvP.
