Most have less time. Before PvErs completely ignored the PvP section and just filled the raid and M+ part of vault. Now most raiders feel they have to fill all 9 slots of vault. It takes more time filling 9 slots then 6.
I mean, not really, at least not in the context of the gear that comes before it.
Open world content gives you 554-580 just for sneezing on enemies, the world boss is literally a joke and gives 603 gear. 584-606 gear can be obtained from renown, m0’s, LFR … all laughably easy content.
Tier 8 delves, despite anecdotal experiences, is way harder than any content that drops lower gear.
Delves in general are completely handicapped compared to raiding and m+ when you consider crest upgrades, which contributes A HUGE amount to a players ilevel. In delves, you get 2 runed crests per bountiful delve and can only do 4-5 of them per week considering coffer keys. That’s literally not even a single upgrade in a week, and most solo people’s gear (which is who delves are meant for) will be hard capped at around 600-605 for the vast majority of the season … Maybe by the second half of the season, solo players will be upwards of around 610-615, but that’s only if they don’t get screwed through RNG … which as well know is very common.
Now compare that m+ and raiding. In raiding, you can get 120 crests per clear and with m+, you can literally season cap in a day if you spam. Normal raiding is easy, heroic is challenging only for a few weeks (maybe a month tops). Mythic+ content up to about +6 or +7 is still decently easy, and you’re getting 606 - 610 end of run gear. And again m+, is infinitely spammable.
There is no comparison … Delves are literally the worst “pillar of end game” for gear.
Yea keys are so limiting. Mythic plus has infinite loot drops possible. Raiding has exclusive loot pools with high item effective ilvl usually and exclusive trinkets. Pvp has its own currency. Players that do the most gameplay get to gear the fastest though . I am glad delves are a thing now. Because my schedule is so inconsistant and I can just afk and not drag my group down when I have delves.
Delves are very accommodating to my lifestyle; love it. Else I might have dropped wow.
dude it takes like an hour to max out T8 delves in the vault (maybe more if you are undergeared or bad at WoW) lmao… if you’re playing enough to max out everything else then you’ve probably got time for the delves too.
and anyone raiding worth a damn is going to outgrow delve gear pretty fast anyway. please take a deep breath and let us know where the delves hurt you.
you can clear 8s at like 560 ilv with careful use of cds I think they are fine as they are as far as I’m concerned they are catch up mechanics for alts
if you’re going to cap at 619 then it sounds like you need all of the options you can get, delves included. you’re just trolling/whining for its own sake.
yeah, lame troll is lame. 65 characters but can’t scrape up a set of 564 gear for alts and says that having to do delves for the vault is a “chore”. give me a fkn break lol
