Yes, I’ve been saying this for a while now. In WoW, loot has become the game for all except the tiny handful sitting on the cutting edge of mythic raiding and pushing ridiculously high keys.

You obtain gear to obtain more gear to obtain more gear, there’s very little to actually use it for. When you finally achieve BiS, you become the dog that finally caught the bus after chasing it for so long and have no clue what to do now that you’ve finally caught it.

This is why I think WoW should shift away from patch-centric disposable gear toward a slower gearing path that stays in place the whole expansion, with content instead being focused on providing things to use the gear for.

I am glad this hasnt applied to me. I have no interest in having top ilvl gear or “bis”. I care more about aesthetics and the experience largely. I dont raid beyond for story and to at least do it once because the ilvl side of the grind for me is boring.

Responding to the concept you present as its important and not criticizing is just throwing in my unsolicited opinion. I suppose if you are in it for transmog you are chasing gear…so same umbrella but different as well.
