Do you understand simple economics? Supply and demand. When the supply is low, and demand goes up, the value of the supply goes up. When the supply has a surplus that exceeds demand (ie: scrapping), the value of the supply plummets. How are you missing this? Go ahead post something in the AH for the 10x the market value and see how it sells. Just because you think its good for you. Good Luck.
Also, btag me. Let me know when you sell stock, ill buy it from you seeing as you are likely to sell low based on your application of economics.
My issue with âcasualâ players getting Mythic Raid gear equivalent is actually not from the Mythic Raiders perspective, as a Mythic Raider myself itâs extremely convenient that high item level loot rains from the sky, it allows me to keep alts relevant and makes me able to bring them to challenging content (since they are usually only like 5 to 7 item levels lower than my main with minimum effort).
The reason why I think all the free high item level gear is bad for the game is because it hurts the âcasualâ player not the âMythic Raiderâ, and I know this sounds counter-intuitive at first, but think about itâŚ
What is the content that is designed for casual players to enjoy??. Well I was a very casual player for a long time, and I enjoyed a lot running my heroics during Cata/Mop and my LFRs (as much as some players talk badly about LFR it used to be very fun for me)⌠Right now, those bits of content have been rendered totally irrelevant, but itâs not because the design of those changed, itâs because even casual players have Heroic / Mythic raid gear equivalent now so thereâs no point in doing those (and even if you do them thereâs no challenge when you outscale them by over 30 item levels).
A casual player gets to Heroic Raid level and then what?? Your item level would indicate you should do +10 keys or Heroic raiding but thatâs no casual player content⌠And you are not going to do M0 since they are faceroll at that item level (they are actually cata-heroic level or harder at the appropriate item level though), you also get nothing form LFRâŚ
I am not bashing any player, nor am I denying that I have also taken advantage of the system. I am bashing the system for what it is. Plain and simple. Itâs a crap system, but itâs the only one we have. No - people wouldnât turn off titanforging, but that doesnât mean titanforging is good. It is the system we have, and itâs a bad system.
So much envy, wether you like it or not the players that complete the highest level of content should be the ones obtaining the highest levels of rewards, itâs just logic.
Actually you are wrong, people do quit once they obtain highest gear possible. Which you can get doing 5 mans, so everyone has it. There is nothing left for them to do after that. You think gear isnt the reason PvErs do things? Look at the alliance ilvl 400 WM fiasco. People transferred to alliance just for it.
They get the top gear, stop playing or switch to alt that they then get top gear on in a couple of weeks then stop playing. RNG does suck, no flying is a good thing actually, it encourages WPvP, rep grinds being time gated is bad. Class design is bad, gearing is awful. Got top gear, time to go play Apex or Fortnite.
I disagree, I do more to acquire gear. How long do you think it would take to get ilvl over 415 by doing mytic plus or any other way besides mythic raiding? you get 1 pc of gear with 410 ilvl from your weekly that is completely rng. I would estimate it would take about 4 months with some forging going around to do that. Mythic raiders are already getting to that level. The 400 ilvl was to obtain gear to do a worlds first race by limit otherwise it did not matter.
i suppose record number low subs doesnt substantiate your claims. You get RNG pieces out of cache. It used to be you got RNG pieces from a boss once a week that shared between 40-25 people. You would go weeks without getting a piece. Then so would half your raid. Now you complain that you get a piece and its not the right piece everytime. On top of the gear you get in the M+, on top the gear you get in a raid. Yeah I wonder why people left, can you even name a piece of gear thats not OP, like maledict or safegaurd, that you really want? Most people cant, because its handed out like candy and at a pediatricians office.
In years past, you had time consuming and demanding gameplay that lent a feeling of accomplishment to the player, but in place of that, in BFA, you have shallow rewards, yielded by the path of least resistance, coupled with unrewarding gameplay-- which in turn, turns aspects of the game into a chore that people just want to bypass.
Blame gear score. In game chat and forums used to be filled with talk of gear score. It was the way one person, or many could feel superior over others. Iâm sure this flood of gear we now can get is partly a response to the mind numbing grieving that used to happen based on it.
Now that anyone can get a decent item level, you have to judge a player by skill, as requested by players.
I actually agree with you. However, whatâs the current ilvl in mythic dungeons??
If itâs the same as last patches mythic raid ilvl, I donât see the problem. If itâs equal to the current tier of mythic raiding, then yeah I see the problem.
I never quite understood why âmythic raidersâ who log on a few times each week to raid and log off again afterward and probably have a neck in the mid-30âs have this huge sense of entitlement vs someone with a mid 40âs neck who does difficult M+ dungeons everyday. Get over yourself, youâre not that special.
