I think Explorer and Veteran gear tracks are largely superfluous and could probably be smushed into one.
Not really. The tracks come from specific levels of content and are not random. You get the level of gear from the content you do. Do world quests? You get Adventurer gear with Veteran from boxes. Do mythic raids? Get mythic gear.
Obsession with BiS gear doesn’t need to be rewarded, if anything it should be spit on by the devs.
Getting a lower ilvl version of a good trinket is not some kind of letdown, it means one slot is locked in for the season unless a much better item drops. That’s good. It doesn’t mean you NEED a higher ilvl version, let alone deserve it.
OP’s basically asking for M0 grinding specific bosses to become a thing. No.
Thats not going to happen.
No one should be able to get full bis gear from killing a boss a looting gear from normal/lfr.
Its not worthless. Some items at Normal/LFR are better than full mythic pieces.
Thats because mythic plus gear caps at level 10
I know but it blows the whole effort argument out of the water… blizzard is addicted to time gating and I honestly think it leads to poorer experiences for it.
Eventually anyone not in the race is going to realize the proper way to progress the raids is to wait till the last month of the expansion.
There isnt time gating in mplus lol
Nah not even true lol
I mean there clearly is with the great vault. I don’t even know what it is your trying to argue but I assume its for the sake of arguing unless you have something to add.
The difference between max hero and max myth track is like .8% damage per piece. Its not a massive loss like youre trying to imply it is.
Guilds currently struggiling to kill queen or other bosses right now isnt because of not being full myth track. its because of mechanic issues.
The gear track stuff is still tedious in a way.
I’d rather get the gear and be able to carry it all the way up. However that works wouldn’t necessarily matter much for me.
There are 17-18 gear slots depending on how you count it my man…
Then a 18% buff on that
Then a massive passive healing ring on that…
I’m a lite player now a days so take this with a. grain of salt. I had by far the most fun in the mist remix gearing up my character. Running dailey stuff to get something to upgrade my gear.
Having a way to run reg content and get something that allows me to upgrade a gear from one track to another Or get rid of tracks all together and drop something that allows me to keep upgrading my gear passed our current track would be great.
If you love running raids you can run those for the gear ups. Love Mythics? Run those. Love solo stuff you can do that too and ilvl up.
Why run hard content? Achieves and mogs and you can hit cap quicker. You can drop the high ivl gear from them and then people would have a quicker time hitting the ilvl cap then someone who just run delves.
It really feels like I hit a wall and lose any reason to run stuff for a season. Use a season to try it and if it sucks then we dont have to try it again.
That applies the same no matter the gear ilvl?
Ok and?
Mythic gear still isnt the massive advantage youre making it out to be.
Its not going to happen. Using any type of system from the meme seasons isnt going to happen in non meme seasons.
The track upgrade item did exist in S4 Shadowland.
I wonder blizzard figured out it was too helpful to players so they never ever mention them again.
Mythic+ is kind of in a unique place due to blanket infinite scaling.
You could add infinite scaling to WQ and they would all of a sudden be insanely difficult. A +393 WQ suddenly is more exclusive than hall of fame.
No lockout is another part of it. They could always add some mythic track as EoD rewards and give dungeons a weekly, raid ID based, shared lockout?
There is Explores ----> Adventures ----->Vet ---->Champ ----> Heroic ----> Mythic.
Fix it for you so is not just 4 tracks. Is 6.
Perfect time to have a WQWF event 
The tracks are basically because of low drop rates. It’s much easier to grind a specific item in a low difficulty and upgrade it, compared to hoping it drops in the higher difficulty.
They could probably get rid of tracks if upgrades cost like twice as many crests.
Speaking of this, why is it not a thing where getting a tier piece automatically unlocks all the lower track appearances of that tier piece? I.e. if you get a Hero tier piece, you should automatically unlock the Champion and Veteran (Normal/LFR) appearances as well. I think that’d be a huge QOL improvement.
exactly why they dont do it
