I’ll be useful to my crappy alt that’s using a 340 crafted weapon.
Its for fresh 120s wearing 280 greens.
I call BS. They just had an emissary weapons cache with a 395 ilvl weapon. I can’t believe anyone, except a newly minted 120, can use a 370 ilvl weapon. It’s a useless item drop that should not even be in the game.
The emissary quests were already mind numbingly tedious.
Perhaps when they added the quest, they thought it would be fine and then later decided it was to big of a power increase right out of the gate. I mean you are making an assumption that it was removed over player outrage, yet we have seen far more outrage over other issues and zero sign of Blizzard backing down upon those items (like flight for example).
People need to understand that just because something was one on the PTR doesn’t mean it will be that way when it goes live.
LFR gear for the new raid is 400 ilvl, is a one-time quest reward for the new zone really going to break the game if it has the same ilvl?
Oh, right, just another case of, “MOOOOOM!!! PEOPLE BENEATH ME ARE GETTING GEAR!!!” on the forums…
Then it should not be required content to progress the game.
Then view it as gold for turning in the quest?
Upgrades, aka getting worthy rewards, is the bait that fuels us all as humans. Older players are probably sitting in 370’s 380’s at best. Yeah, a middle of the pack weapon is an upgrade to them.
415 to 370. Think about it. Those are the same rewards in the old zones. You really think their choice was about power level?
Shouldn’t it be lower ilvl then? 315 maybe?
I’m a LFR hero, WQ-gear wearing casual and I’m fine with this change. We shouldn’t be getting mythic raid gear for saying “hi.”
My alts qualify for 340 and 355 with that Emissary. It is all dependent on the character’s ilevel. Not everyone gets a 395. In fact, this is my only character that would get a 395 from it.
However, the item is for the newly minted 120 that just finished the main island and will be moving to this content before running a lot of world quests, mythic+ dungeons, or raids.
A storyline quest shouldn’t be required to progress the storyline?
Cool, I’m not.
Also, it’s LFR gear once the raid comes out…
so many tears in this thread lol.
Yes, but this time I think the erred on the wrong side. The first time they made the weapon too good and now it is too weak. i have said several times that 370 is too low.
Careful friend, youre bringing dissension amongst your ranks.
I’m going to find it hilarious when some people who are raging about this change attempt to play Classic and find out they don’t get raid gear for not raiding.
This is the worst line of reasoning I’ve ever come across.
This is an MMORPG- not a black jack table. Unfortunately it takes a little time and effort to get what you want and should not be rewarded in an intro quest chain. There are plenty of toons who can use a 370 weapon- alts, new players, returning players etc. Stop assuming this is useless to the entire community.
Bummer, have to get a decent piece of loot the ole fashioned way
