Honest question. Does the community feel that maximum 2 pieces of loot from an M+ and the very small amount of raid loot is a good thing?
I know we’ve gotten more and more used to gearing quickly over the years of Retail, but I don’t know if the current state was a good change or not.
To me, it feels a bit demoralizing…More time trying to progress through harder content is giving less loot (in terms of M+) and Raiding is almost just a badge of honor at this point.
I can only speak for myself…but everyone I’ve talked to is also a bit confused about the logic. Especially with the idea of Tier Sets eventually returning…will it take 2 months to finish a set with normal RNG?
In BFA I vendored SO SO much. (scrapped actually god i hated that). Most of the time gear was nothing but fodder. It was almost pointless. Now it actually feels meaningful and gives me a pleasant feeling when I actually get something.
Yes, not happy. The alts are not 60, they will not group, their craft skills are still baby level so they can’t make anything good. They suck at BGs (mostly the queue waiting part).
They gots nothing to wear and they’re weak. Can’t kill hardly nuthin.
My skinner ambulance runs behind people who leave their dead animals unskinned. It’s a lousy way to game but it’s still funsies.
I think the only thing that’s putting people off is the rng of it. I would prefer slow gearing process with vendors like pvp has. You buy gear with currency so you know what you’re getting and can work towards it. Nothing worse than getting 5 trinkets in a row which you know ur not going to use
I was curious at people’s takes on this since I do feel that the slower gearing is essentially forcing more people to engage with content, which is actually good, but plenty of people are just getting completely shafted by RNG as an unfortunate downside. Catch-22
This right here. If they are going to tank the rate at which we get gear they need to implement some kind of RNG protection. Whether that be a vendor you slowly gain currency in high end activities to buy from or some way to narrow the loot pool through so kind of system I don’t care.
That being said I don’t think it’s horrible but it does feel really bad getting 3 separate mythic shoulder drops while every other slot is 171 gear.
I think the hardcore crowd with friends and guildies doing massive numbers of runs and freely changing loot out in splits hardly notice. I think the rest of us normal people likely aren’t happy with it. And sadly Blizzard is very slow at noticing these things so it’ll likely be this way for several months or perhaps even most of the expansion before they do.
