People can character copy to test higher ilvl gear. If they werenât going to give a 415 weapon on live, then they absolutely needed players with lower ilvls to test and make sure the new zones werenât going to be overtuned for returning players. The PTR rewards falsely skewed their testing results.
I do agree that a 370 is far too low level for most of the active player base but you need to keep in mind that the emissary rewards are based upon a players ilvl. Not everyone had access to that 395 ilvl weapon cache.
But 370 is way too low, you get better from doing season 2 LFR raid content⌠I would say that is probably less challenging then the introduction quest
If it isnât removed from the ptr (to my knowledge it wasnât) and no blue said anything about it being changed then of course on patch day people are going to say âhey, what happened to __?â
415-370 is nerfed into dust. Put another way, I would be interested in playing if the weapon was 415. I have no interest in a 370 weapon and will only do the quest because I have too, which is becoming this game more and more.
They should have left it at 415. Wouldnât have hurt anything at all.
Yes, itâs just not available to run. Today launched 8.2 Rise of Azshara patch. All previous content is officially old content. The new raid will be available in what 2 weeks? 1 week? The current new mega dungeon drops 400+ gear. The gear updates for Mythic+ are active today.
