Currently sitting at 7k main stat on cloak and 500 ilvl pieces through “natural” means.
It isn’t hard to get Bronze if you put an ounce of effort into the game. Do your dailies, farm some Timeless Isle rares, and also the simple fact that if people play more, they progress more.
It’s honestly hilarious the amount of people that accuse me of frogging just because I’ve progressed further than them, as if the way they play has to be the most efficient. My druid wasn’t even 70 by the time frogging was nerfed.
