Everyone should have a path to progress to max ilvl gear, EVERYONE!

But no, absolutely nothing in the game should reward Mythic raid level loot that is able to be done repeatedly infinitely.

Ok…

@Pandar-firetree

I understand the sentiment around frequency being an issue for m+, but there are solutions to this already (see vision loot table locking out after 1 attempt); you could iterate on this further to make it even more scarce, but a legitimate path to gear progression.

As I see it, we already got past this point, so why are you re-framing back to that item in a binary way? There are solutions here, we need to stop pretending like there aren’t

This is what I’m referring to, I personally don’t have an issue if they actually reward doing +20’s, high-rated Arenas, or high-rated RBG’s.

I’m only going to speak for myself here, and I emphatically agree with this portion of your post. Blizzard has already stated (quote below*) that there are three parallel progression paths; and that individuals (link below**) that focus on one content path should be within 95% power threshold of a full engagement min/max type player. This isn’t reflected in their current game design that massively incentivizes Raiding as the only true competitive progression (compounding throughout the course of the tier) path.

@Sadzar-illidan

go back to a PvP-specific stat and PvP vendors.

Holla.

the very strongest loot in WoW comes from the three organized multiplayer endgame progression paths: Rated PvP, Mythic Keystone dungeons, and raiding. The design intent is for all three paths to provide parallel progression over the course of a tier
