That’s exactly what they’re doing. Let’s be honest here, a week or two in and you’re going to see geared people running with other geared people and people in greens playing with people in other greens.
I’m not talking about entitlements or carries, I’m not expecting carries. I’ve been saying all along is that people kept playing wrath because the gear divide wasn’t insurmountable. All they did was add a fancy UI to what amounts to the ineffective chat based group system… the gear divide is only going to grow to the point where people will need gold to catch up.
Needing gold to gear is going to get worse and worse though Wrath. In OG Wrath, all you needed to do was spam dungeons and you got the gear.
