I’m going to take a wild guess and say you still had alot of your mythic 15 gear from bfa? If so that’s why. Alot of bfa stuff is still 10 times better than most of what you’ll find in systemslands currently
No, actually. I’d replaced most my gear on my main with normal mode gear when I started running M0s. As had the people I ran with. I think I was only still wearing my HoA, and even then only bc of the bonus threat modifier still working at the time.
I did on my DK, but I don’t use my DK as a standard, since I still had a lot of sockets, and everyone else had gear from 0s from the previous week.
I agree to an extent. I think gear being meaningful like as in that one helmet that is what everyone who plays your class/spec wants and you get it and you remember that helmet forever.
Ah ok. Hmm then yeah like you I do t have anything to say to that one guy. I haven’t run any sl mythics since getting gear has been a massive pain in the rear. Barely 167 item level so no pugs will accept my sign up. With how gearing is in this time around. Lower than before, no emissaries and with bonus rolls being gone I dont forsee myself doing much past maybe lfr if that. I was able to keystone and do heroic nyalotha cause of bfas catch up gear when I took my 5 month break. Now I guess I should just give up on doing anything this expac past covenant stuff and lfr.
If there’s any actual truth in that statement (Regarding what you meant with Ion lowering drop rates for loot based on feedback…not that your statements were viewed as lies themselves) then all they really needed to do was keep the item levels on gear awarded by WQs and Emissaries(Callings now) lower than what drops in raids and mythic+. Doesn’t seem like it would be that difficult to do since gear can no longer randomly pop warforged/titanforged anymore
There’s truth to it. Ask anyone on here or in game, both factions. Many people unfortunately were constantly complaining about the gearing progression being too easy. What they called welfare gear. They got tired of in their words “gear falling from the sky” in regards to the raid community many of them complained because apparently they spent weeks and months farming raids for gear and someone who didn’t could just do a world quest or emissary for a piece that was the same item level. Honestly getting a heroic or normal raid type piece outside raids never bothered me because it was helpful and it helped my alts. But other people in their mind saw it as a problem. So for a long time you’d see forum posts about it. Like I said I just probably won’t be able to do much this expac unfortunately unlike in bfa unless they bring in catch up gear of a decent level. Since I have to pug everything I get my gear where I can. Personally though I miss warforged and titanforged
