Title is topic. Will the puzzling cartel chips motivate you to go into raid content more often?
I’m seeing a ton of feedback from mythic+ and raiders on this topic, but not a lot from my fellow delvers. Is this a change that affects you?
(I know a lot of players do multiple avenues of content. But just curious if anyone else is motivated by the cartel chips to venture into raid.)
I’m personally happy for the turboboost and will hopefully venture into raid more often.
I can’t care less about gear. Gear is getting increasingly meaningless and unimportant in current WoW, with all the different gearing path from delves, M+, raids, crest upgrade and catalyst charges.
Nobody needs any specific gear for whatever contents they are doing in the game. The only use of dinars is to get some transmog. And unfortunately, undermine raid appearance really sucks.
So yes, it would nice if they can improve the dinar system. However, 99% of the player base won’t even care if the system is removed or not.
I just feel sorry for players who still choose to be voluntarily trapped in current WoW’s gear treadmill.
zero chance. in fact it makes me resist it more. i was a “realm first” raider way back when and have zero interest in that game mode anymore
it will however prop up the boosting community even more. which makes a mockery of raiding anyway
Why? I’m already decked in almost full heroic gear + myth level crafted items.
Why would I subject myself to raiding?
I mean, I’d gladly raid with a set group, but my available schedule for a set raid group is way too tight and unusual (UTC-3, 5-9 am, saturdays, and not all of them) and pugging is miserable.
Definitely not. The reason social engineering exists in the first place is because it works, people fall for it. Resist, fight the power!
I think for me to go into normal raid with a guild is probably fine, as it’s probably at the ‘go for fun’ stage. Is LFR going to count towards the chips? That seems less labor intensive and won’t need a big block of time to accomplish.
People now: What? No, yuck!
People in a month with no progression to be had: How much does it cost for a mythic Gally carry?
Yes. You’ll be able to acquire chips and LFR boss kills will count for buying hero track pieces.
Thank you–a lot of players probably hate this lol. I expect some pushback that chips can be acquired (albeit slowly) from LFR. I dunno, this change is welcome from a half-champ, half-hero, many alt player such as myself.
Considering that you need mythic boss kills for mythic track pieces but only LFR for hero track pieces it’s quite the double standard.
I’ve only done LFR, as weirdly even normal runs people are so strict on who they invite in and I don’t raid with my guild as they do mythic and I’m not part of their core team. Idk, likely if lfr works that’s all ill do
Nope, not even at all. My main goal this season is to get the mythic tier appearances and I’m on track for that.
Nope.
I pretty much only do delves, but I try to do the LFR each week for the rep (gotta get that Dino mount).
I could honestly care less about the chips, and how they work doesn’t surprise me. I never expected to get access to the best of the best stuff without some sort of work. If I could make a suggestion, it would have been to add some sort of token appropriate for each of the tracks that let you target something in particular. For example, I would like the energy drink trinket on the hero track, let me cash in a few chips for that.
If I did have access to the chips at mythic level, meaning I could clear that content… I would probably use them towards xmogs of stuff I want but never got instead of more power.
If I do at best it’ll be lfr for a hero trinket.
Class design isn’t exactly where it is for me to care about engaging in the other pillars that much.
Same boat here…but I’ll probably do LFR for giggles (also with my wife and daughter because why not). It may get me some better trinkets, but otherwise there’s nothing better coming out of it once I craft my 2nd ring. The Jastor’s Diamond is worthless to a solo player (I don’t think it will draw stats from Brann…but I could be wrong). As for this selling more carries…I could not care less…if someone is willing to pay to get gear that allows them to out-gear a level or 2, meh. If they had the skillset they wouldn’t be paying for carries anyways. As for the guilds that are close to AOTC and this bad luck protection could put them over…great, that’s what it’s all about.
At the end of the day this gear is going to maybe shave a minute or so off of the 11s I’m doing now…woo-hoo.
BTW, most of the BiS trinkets are also not so great when boss fights take less than 2 minutes and the CD on the trinkets is 1:30 to 2 minutes…I don’t even get to summon my big felguard a 2nd time.
This is not going to draw me back to the full time job that is progressive raiding, and I have never found a casual raiding guild that remained so. Regardless of gear, I don’t have time (or patience) for that anymore.
Absolutely not. I don’t have the time for organized raiding, and LFR is intolerable. As far as my characters are concerned, the loot from raids doesn’t exist.
I get why they did it but it is funny lol
Hero is already easy to get, I would assume they’re throwing solo players a bone with this while wanting to maintain the integrity of mythic track.
Will they do a 180? Who knows. 
They’re acquired at the same speed as any other raiding difficulty.
If LFR grant hero track items, ya I will at least start doing LFR. But as a delver, I don’t need Mythic track gear. I don’t do stuff that high.
Ok thank you, I wasn’t sure and was kind of afraid to ask lol. Didn’t want to poke the already angry bears in the other threads.
