I know for a fact you play more than I do because BFA is trash and I don’t play at all. But time spent is irrelevant because no one should be getting Mythic gear from clicking on a quest NPC. If you want the gear, do the content. I’ve been against the way Blizzard has been handing out gear for a long, long time. All it does is end with results like now where entitled people whine they can’t get their high end gear for doing absolutely nothing.
Don’t talk about people hardly playing then. Time spent should matter to blizzard because that is how they rate ‘success’ now.
It could have at least been a 385 weapon. I mean, crap, the benthic gear starts at 385 and is super easy to get.
MAUs aren’t tracking how long you are in game, it’s tracking the overall number of users logging in over a month’s time. Don’t get me wrong, they know how much you play but again, it’s irrelevant because no one should be getting high end gear for what amounts to doing nothing.
Good! They shouldn’t be handing out mythic weapons like candy.
For once I can safely say that Blizzard made a good decision.

Not the two handed mace or staff on this character.
The surveys they send out - ask you how much time you spend playing a week. They care.

No one said they didn’t. But once again, like a broken record, it’s irrelevant because no one should be getting high end gear for doing what amounts to a couple mouse clicks.
im glad its 370 and not 415, do some real end game stuff if you want real gear

So you said. I disagree because this is 8.2 and 415 isn’t high end gear - it is on par with normal raid gear which has often been given out.
Do you really think a one time quest rewarding normal raid gear is a game breaker when they have had weekly world bosses dropping heroic raid gear since MoP.

New raid isn’t open and Mythic is currently 415. If Blizzard wants to change it later down the road, I’m sure they will.
Yes like kill a world boss or do a warfront.
World bosses require actually going out to kill a weekly boss.
Warfronts don’t drop 415 yet, iirc? Even then, you earn it by suffering 30 minutes of boredom.
415 loot is still current tier mythic, and becomes normal raid quality in two weeks. To just give it away for doing some menial quests is not even comparable, for the most important slot of gear, by the way.
I looked at it as free gold. And I’ll probably never take another character there so it’s all good!
Are we expected to believe this?

Sounds like Legion Artifact weapon quests, the Argus introduction, and Nazjatar intro. Seems like more of the same to me.
That response is both unwarranted and poorly thought out. If an item was 415 on the last builds of ptr, downgrading it to the point that WQs offer better is absolutely a legitimate thing to complain about. Dont like that? Too bad, LFR gear isnt really all that special.

They expect us to play in Nazjatar which is 100 times more tedious than any warfront ever could be - I am thinking they aren’t providing enough incentive even with a 415 weapon. Time will tell.

I’m let down by Najatar too, but giving everyone a mythic weapon isn’t going to make the content better.
It’s going to get blown up by the time everyone has full Palace heroic gear, that’s how it always is. That’s how Suramar was, that’s how the Broken Shore was, That’s how Argus was. It’s how it’s always worked.
New zone, slightly harder for current gear levels, people get gear and blow it up.
The people who worked for gear get a better start.
