There shouldn’t be a world where crafted should be BIS for classes. It can be amazing or 2nd best, but not BIS. There is a whole world of those trying to be “max item level” and simply having BIS crafted ruins that for those, trying to max out their gear but cannot be due to decrease in output.
Take the time to actually bring in items that are going to be an actual upgrade comparative to crafted items. Clearly 3 item levels is not that.
Is it really that horrible to have to wear 2 crafted pieces?
Yes, it is to some. Part of the allure is showing that you are max ilvl or close to it. Sometimes it makes/breaks who gets invited in groups as well.
I don’t think the 3 ilvl difference between crafted and non-crafted will make a huge diff in your ilvl
Considering everyone else is wearing 2 as well
Disagree. Having crafted items be BiS for 2 slots ensures crafting relevance and further diversifies gearing choices/sources.
I kinda agree, but at the same time loot is a bit too scarce when it comes to myth track loot to make crafting worse.
Regardless, it isn’t the point. To those who want to look the best and show off that they are at very high level, 3 levels + # of items, can be a big difference, up to 9 ilvl difference if you’re wearing 3 crated items, which often is BIS for alot of classes.
it doesn’t. a friend of mine just hit 639 equipped with his two crafted pieces.
edit: i was mistaken, he’s 638 point something. oops! 
If all you care about is that number…you can always get items for those spots to show off
Thats why numbers are mostly irrelevant once you get to that point
What class requires you to wear 3 crafted pieces?
And its 3 ilvls per item, which won’t even equate to a 1 ilvl total difference
but the point is you can’t actually use those items because it does less damage. Do you see the problem??
This would destroy loot for people who only do M+ but don’t raid. There are only a few options per armor type, so we could be stuck with say a haste/mastery or a versatility/crit belt or something for the season when our bis stats are haste/crit.
Which is why it should be very STRONG, alternative option. But again, not BIS. As those should come from only Vault/Mythic Raid.
I disagree.
I feel the highest quality items should be crafted.
no. you said you wanted to be able to show off your highest ilvl pieces. you can do that when you apply to groups and then swap to your highest dps gear set once you zone in.
Why would anyone do end-game content?
for crafting materials.
where else would you get 90 gilded crests at a time?
Maybe i’m crazy. Part of the allure is seeing the ilvl next to damage meters for ilvl score. I do it all the time checking their ilvl in damage meters. Which is only available based on what you’re equipping currently when doing actual damage. Rarely do i check thei lvl from inspection, i use it from details damage addon.
You can probably find an addon that lets you type in what you want your ilvl to say if you just want really big numbers. There’s no problem here though
