It’s absolutely catch up gear for alts and casual solo players. You want to use it as a secondary purpose to fill in gaps for your raid gear? Fine. But that’s not what it’s there for.

Literally right here in black and white for you to read:

And what was Relinquished and Benthic gear? Catch-up gear.

It gear for super casuals but it is not catch up gear for alts. Unless you are a complete idiot and want to spend significantly more time on an alt than a main.

This, so this. The renown requirements are much more onerous than anything else. Right now, if you’re tier 6, you still cannot upgrade beyond iLevel 220. In two weeks it will be 226 at renown 61. Renown 75, which gates 233, is what, October? Even the most casual of raiders will be in Heroic by then.

This is by far the most annoying part. Never mind the grind – the time gate even if you do the grind makes it all pointless except for sockets and a pair of gloves.

Even those that only run mythic 0 dungeons can upgrade to iLevel 226 already. The renown gate is just silly.

Dude, you are wrong. Its catch up gear for people swapping mains or super casuals

Literally just posted two different sites telling you it’s catch up gear. And who the hell is going to mostly use catch-up gear? Alts. Know why it’s catch-up gear for alts? Because they hit 60 and in the same day go straight to ilevel 200 and can then upgrade it. Spend a half hour or so a day and they can upgrade it by two ranks. There’s no “significantly more time.” Clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about.

You’re beginning to act like it.

Winsten is a Blizz white knight/troll
 Arguing with him is pointless. They are the Phineas Gage of WoW. I’m almost convinced that they are some worthless/low key Blizz employee.

lol. I swapped mains with the patch and passed Korthia gear in a day. Please don’t tell me that gear for super casuals is for alts.

LOL way to try to get involved with something you aren’t even part of. :rofl:

Literally two websites telling you it’s catch-up gear and you’re just going to ignore it. ROFL

And a websites opinion matters because? Think for yourself then comeback with a real opinion not someone else’s.

It’s for people who aren’t good at arithmetic and can’t see this was set up wrong?

LOL “Opinion.”

I explained to you the correlations without a website, but you’ll just ignore those since it doesn’t fit your poor narrative.

Korthia gear is absolutely catch up gear. It’s for alts, swapping mains, new level 60s, etc. I don’t know why that’s so difficult for you, but try a little harder to comprehend how things work, mkay? Thanks.

What exactly was set up wrong? Go up in ranks, unlock higher ilevels. They want it gated so that the elitists can’t whine that solo casual players get gear too fast.

How much are you being paid to defend this trash system?

How much are you being paid to try to trash the system?

There’s literally nothing wrong with it. It’s a catch up mechanic and solo gearing path for casuals. Those who run group end game content are meaningless. This system isn’t for you. People whined that the Covenant set was so quick to max out and it was too low. They spaced out the time and made the ilevel higher and now people whine more.

None of you will ever be happy.

This expansion is crap. But this gearing system is not. Deal with it or run group content.

He’s trolling ignore as always. It takes forever unless you just farm rares nonstop and the both at 6 is just an insult.

You CAN’T farm rares nonstop because there are only so many rares that spawn every day and you can only loot them once per day. You can’t even farm trash mobs nonstop since even the “purple” ones that drop fragments are limited to 15 kills per day.

It’s impossible to 24/7 Korthia rep. And it doesn’t take forever, a bunch of people have already finished.
