Bring back badges for PVE gear. This isnā€™t hard. It worked before and it would work now.

Iā€™d rather have the 0/2 item upgrades back personally. Badge gear that is only for catchup and initial gear buffering doesnā€™t really help.

Also let me trade my loot regardless of ilvl upgrade.

I want to know where this ā€œ10 new dungeonsā€ figure comes from. Is this including Torghast? And what else? Because I like dungeons! Adding more will be cool please let me know where to find them :+1:

Why though? They give you a Covenant set. Why not just allow it to be upgraded each tier to at least a basic raid entry level and be done with it?

Some of my alts that did Mists LFR still have gear tokens

Still reading it , lol. I only do LFR so Iā€™m thinking not much info for me, but thought Iā€™d share.

Well now that Iā€™ve read it, and what Ion had to say, Iā€™d say this is pretty well-balanced article. Itā€™s not a fluff piece, but it does come from the perspective that Shadowlands is a success (I think in many ways it is), but there are some issues, particularly with Torghast. Iā€™m not really one to complain about loot, or lack thereof, until it really starts to be an obvious problem. And so far, Iā€™m not feeling that yet.

blizzard may be happy with pvp gear but Iā€™m not
upgradeable gear is stupid when it comes to pvp and it shouldnā€™t be locked by rating either
bring back valor and justice points and increase droprates in dungeons
we need reforging back aswell for the people who get unlucky and canā€™t get the piece they want

reforging would just be garbage at this point. Getting 40% of your best stat is way worse than 100% of your worst stat for literally every class except people missing haste cut-offs. Scaling was completely different when reforging was useful.

My covenant gear is awfull. I donā€™t care what ilvl it upgrades to it still sucks.

Then good news. You have all kinds of content to do to get the gear that you want customized to your playstyle.

I would like to see people who donā€™t receive loot obtain a token and after obtaining a certain amount of tokens they can exhacge for a gear/wep. The item level of this gear should match that of ranked pvp gear.

Tokens are only dropped in m+ and the amount depends on the key.

  • Blizzard is happy with the way that PvP Itemization is playing out.

they are happy the highest item level weapon one can acquire requires gladiator?
Feels weird to have to become a master of pvp to have the best pve weapon.
whatever, if they like it thereā€™s nothing i can do.

  • Blizzard thinks they can do more to make running dungeons and raids more satisfying when you donā€™t get the item that you were looking for.

okay, but what/when?

if crit is terrible for my class and I have no haste and itā€™s the best 40% helps more then hoping to get the right piece after 30 runs

Wooo, this article is so off-base:

Taking players to Warcraftā€™s afterlife, Shadowlands introduced a swath of exciting new features like a roguelike dungeon that changes each time you venture into it and four extremely cool factions you can join that each offer unique rewards, abilities, and special activities.

Exciting? Extremely cool? Wowā€¦

I want to see Justice and Valor point back so badly, it would give me a good reason to farm dungeons all day with a clear goal in mind a specific piece of gear I want for example which is what I did during MOP.

But I bet they wouldnā€™t add weapon in the item you can buy since they seem to want weapon to be as rare as possible, Iā€™m ilvl 200 in all slots now and Iā€™m still stuck with a ilvl 145 or so weapon.

Or maybe you should stop worrying so much about what other people claim is best and just play the game? Blizzard didnā€™t put together these spreadsheets telling you what is best. Players did, and if you let them dictate to you how to enjoy the gameā€¦ then maybe an MMO isnā€™t for you.
