Korthia gear upgrades - why so gated?

Still too high. It’s higher than normal raid gear with a weekly lock out, thus it needs a gate. This isn’t up for debate, if that’s your only argument you’ve already lost and i’m moving on.

Correct, but it would be doing the content this gear would invalidate, and it would still require the rep grind (Again on ONE character) it just wouldn’t have an artificial time gate on it.

If you’re playing for fun, you’re playing for the wrong reason.

Like this guy. The only reason to play the game is to demonstrate how much more obediently masochistic you are than people who are playing the game wrong. I mean, it’s totally sociable to consider it a mission to keep people you don’t even know from having fun, right?

I hate this gear just because of dupes and the fact that every last piece I have has mastery, my least prioritized stat. Feels really bad I must say.

Oh yeah, I’m not wasting my life in korthia on an alt for that. I’ve already decided to just do mythic dungeons for the easy Valor and upgrades. I’m good there. I’ve already got there with this mage with rank 6 codex, but I’m not grinding that anymore than I really have to. The korthia gear is already obsolete with the way this is implemented and saying that it’s for alts is so very wrong due to how it is. Maybe for the super duper casual players it is good, which is okay, I guess? But for alts it’s a no.

For now, I’m just farming research for reset when we get this change for conduit upgrades. One of the best changes ever.

Your attitude isn’t making me any more interested in grouping with you.

This is still better gear than 9.0 which gave you at par with normal level raid gear. This allows you to get at par with the last 2 bosses of normal raid gear. And since people complained they got their upgrades too fast and had nothing left to do and wanted higher ilvl gear they just slowed it down and incrementally increased the ilvl of gear people could get in open world.

ahem In Mr. Krabs’ voice, “Money!”

Wow could not agree more. I didn’t even last my three months sub in everquest because I only played after college work was done ie the middle of the night, and no one was ever on so I was just as likely to end a session in the negative hence eliminating any desire to put any time in. I am still at this game since 07 specifically because it doesn’t have that problem. Letting people solo is a good thing, I can’t understand wanting a character that can’t act on its own, hence one of many reasons I don’t tank or heal.

I don’t mind being part of a team but I hate being totally beholden to finding said team just to progress.

And no I am not in the wrong genre. Hates me modern single player games too. Mostly for being on rails.

Yeah its useless. It was useful in the beginning when my main alt was like around 200 ilvl which was all of a day.

Yes of course, people playing with other people are masochistic. If you’re anti social that’s your own problem, deal with it.

I don’t much care whether you want to or not. Didn’t we wipe you guys out?

It could be wrong in your opinion, and I would agree, but clearly Blizzard didn’t make this for anyone doing Normal/Heroic Raid or M+… those folks will not benefit from this gear by the time they unlock it.

Clearly Blizzard made this gear upgrade for people that only do LFR and Heroic Dungeons and it’s gated so heavily so that those people don’t ever have a chance of being on par with actual Raiders/M+ players. It’s overkill since it’s 233 at best and you’ll out-gear that doing M +8/+9 (end-of-vault 236) for the same number of weeks it would take to unlock these Korthia upgrades. +8/+9 isn’t even that hard, but for folks that only do LFR/Heroic Dungeons, I guess it makes sense–I just feel that doesn’t serve a majority of paying customers.

Because they are afraid players would be on here crying how Blizzard “forced” them to no-life play 24/7 to grind rank 6 upgrades asap to be “competitive.”

This is the default answer of someone who wants to backpedal and has realized they have nothing else to say. We’ve come a far way from “you don’t deserve 233 at all because you solo” to this, lmao. Good day.

I’ve explained it countless times. People don’t like it and just get outraged.

So that’s your only argument? Good then I can dismiss you. Blizzard will NEVER reward solo content on par with raid without a gate.

I’m ready to quit just over the legendary’s why can’t I build as many legendary’s and wear as many legendary’s as I want if I want to build a completely legendary character with every slot legendary filled why not what the eff is wrong with lizard not allowing us to do that

Yes there is. MMO is multiple players logged on at the same time. It’s so easy even you can google this. There is nothing about group content being mandatory in that definition. You and others mistakenly infer it and try to base your argument on what is a baseless assumption.

The system is very slow and boring worthy of the worst gacha games.

There literally is. An MMO without a focus on group content is like an FPS where you don’t shoot anything. It stops being an FPS

And your definition is ludicrous. Fortknight has lots of people logged in at once

  1. It’s not on par with raid gear
  2. It wasn’t even my point.

You either can’t read or just exist to troll people, either way I’m done with you.
