The entire reason TR is a thing is it’s a replacement for azerite gear being in the weekly m+ chest. M+ will always be the primary source.
And it remains under my proposed system.
But, there are scraps for those who don’t want to do M+.
We already have that. If you scrap any purple quality azurite gear it gives a bit.
Sorry, this is wrong.
I just want AP to turn into TR once your neck is 50. Something like 25 AP per 1 TR so it still takes a while and Blizzard doesn’t feel players are farming it too much. But it would make all the unavoidable AP gains players will inadvertently get doing content until 8.2, not seem like a total waste.
Same should apply to the end of BFA once people get their new Neck level capped.
I liked your post, by the way.
that would be far too much player agency for the current wow leadership to be comfortable
The simple answer is to fire Ion if that were the case.
Oh im sorry. I missed the patch notes where they removed the fact that an azerite piece drops off all 9 raid bosses. Silly me.
While I hate your opinion that doing harder content yields better rewards, this is true.
BOD bosses all drop 3 shoulders, 3 chests, and 3 helms, regardless of class/spec/armor type.
On my alts I generally do a partial heroic clear (pugging mekka is a fiesta 9 times out of 10 so ill pass) and get a piece and then if they are already high enough IL I join a M CoL pug because that boss is a 415 loot pinata and a repeat azerite piece is 335 residuum for like 15 minutes of my time.
I kept my 405. But hot dang does it feel terrible to have it under-perform compared to a 390.
Silly me.
Raiding is not the only way to gear up anymore.
Wasnt in legion. Still did for tier. Same concept. Want 415 azerite? Wait 3-4 weeks or mythic raid.
Who cares? I didn’t start this thread. Also, I can buy them faster than 3 weeks.
I am just saying that the point “TR is the primary method” is an objectively false statement since I can get at least 3x the amount of 400 and 415 azerite gear from raiding in the same time frame as through TR.
Sorry, it’s not false for the people that don’t raid.
So is m+ the primary source for pants? How about rings? Alternative sources of gearing are just that. Alternative.
So is m+ the primary source for pants?
Yeah, it is for the people that gear up with M+.
repeating tedious boring dungeons ad infinitum is not the path to success for this game
