I personally don’t know a single soul that would rerun an entire raid just to get the same item but TF, the game needs less RNG so gear can be baseline and not a randomized mess that it is currently.
If you want the upgrade do harder content, you shouldn’t be randomly rewarded with heroic/mythic item level gear for doing LFR content especially when out of the entire raid lets say only one person gets it.
Where is your “proof” that this is catering to the “top 5%” literally these guys are getting shafted along with us with this new corruption system and the old TF system. I know your afraid to post on your main because you don’t want to be flamed by someone but if you really believe in what you say put your main behind it not your alt.
When I do a +2 and it TF to +10 gear its not good for literally anyone, people who do +10 or push higher keys (if we’re talking about season 3) gets gear at a disadvantage (unless it titanforges) because they have to do the key that is 8 levels harder then what your doing, and its bad for the player who gets the titanforge because they can’t upgrade their gear and are stuck with it until their 10 titanforge which is all RnG, I use to have a cloak that was titanforge with a socket but it wasn’t my BiS, didn’t matter tho because even tho the stats were garbage for my toons, it was TF and I couldn’t replace it.
