Gear isnt a big deal, yet here you are upset you didnt get decent gear for less than minimal work.

Asking why something was changed is being upset?
I dont even need it and i think thats BS. At least 400 lol. 370 weapon isnt even good enough for most curremt content.
New 120’s don’t magically end up at 360+ ilvl, they end up at around 280…
You don’t have a lot of alts do you? Are you one of the players who decided to ‘quit’ at 8.1.5 and now you need a quick catch up mechanic?
EDIT! Just noticed your weapon ilvls are 390 and 385. No wonder you’re so salty
I don’t know, I think you shouldn’t get a raid quality reward for non raiding content, maybe AP gold?
I resubbed for this?
Some people dislike the new zone, others enjoy it. If you resubbed for a weapon from turning in an intro quest, that seems pretty silly. If you resubbed and don’t like the new zones, then I’m sorry you’re disappointed. Everyone likes different things.
Yeah, I noticed this as well. I don’t really mind. I was just kind of surprised. I just don’t know why they do stuff like this?
I think 415 was a little too high.
That being said 370 has been worthless for quite a while now.
Minimally it should have been 385 to be on par with the Benthic gear base level. 400 would have been teetering on that “too high” for an intro quest range.
Yes, I have alts, and I ended up above 300 every time. So like I said, they would gain 6 ilvls or so from the weapon. Where you get 360 from is confusing. you get 315 immediately out of the gate and going from 315 to 415 is 6 ilvls overall. Stop the hyperbole.
Think of this. Players that are around 400 ilvl right now. Their weapons are going to be around that mark. 370 weapons. 370 WQ rewards. lol.
EDIT: I’m not salty over it. This is an alt that just dinged a month ago. I am however laughing that people are seriously arguing for a new zone having the same rewards as the old. Do you at least get paid? (how are you viewing private profiles btw?)
And everyone here will get a 425 benthic weapon in a few weeks. Woooo?
And then the game will literally be unplayable. Or something.
So if you end up at around 300, chances are your weapon ilvl is around 300 (law of averages, ya know?). Getting a ilvl 370 weapon from an intro quest-line is/was not achievable in 8.1.5, you would need to grind up your ilvl to do a warfront, mythic dungeon, LFR raid etc. I have 6 toons at 120, and at no point did I do a little quest line when I dinged 120, that just issued me a ilvl 370 weapon! If it existed, that would have been terrific- but it doesn’t exist.
Back to your point- if I have a weapon at ilvl 300, I would be ECSTATIC to get one at 370 just for showing up to a story quest line. The people upset at this are the ones who said “BFA sucks!”, went into hibernation mode during 8.1/8.1.5 and thought while everyone is grinding out their gear, they will get free 8.1.5 mythic gear when 8.2 comes out. Sorry homie.
Theres benthic weapons?
No, its armor only.
And then come the generalizations again. It never fails.
Anyways, you do one WQ and your weapon is 315. But here’s the funny thing about your argument.
Is this being designed for fresh 120’s? This isn’t a .5 patch. These are supposed to be progression patches not only in story but also your character progression. Broken Shore rewards were better than the prior zones. However, this is identical to the prior zones. So it is purely story progression while the rewards are immediately vendor trash.
It didn’t have to be 415 but stop acting like they had to design it for fresh 120’s. Their whole marketing campaign centered around getting older players back and a lot of them are going to laugh at 370. “Resub for your chance at an RNG classic beta invite! Also coming is our brand new major patch with amazing… 370’s and uhhh stuff you can vendor.” You tell me what’s out of place there.
That’s what i thought.
Try 11 120’s and that 370 is not an upgrade for any of them. Crafted gear gets you high enough that WQ increase then do some WQ, Call to arms , Warfront Random BG’s and maybe some arena. 370 weapon is pretty pointless.
I’ve cleared Heroic BoD and Cos, been doing mythic 10+ (multiple) per week and my two main toons don’t even have 415 weapons. You really are reaching with this one here. Just because it was on PTR (most likely for testing purposes) doesn’t mean it will without a doubt make it to live, especially as an intro quest.
While I do agree it should have been higher ilvl than 370, I also believe 415 is a stretch.

There is nothing wrong with players being able to gear themselves to do something they haven’t done and still be viable.
Someone who doesn’t raid should be able to gear outside that system just so when they want to they aren’t a bigger hindrance due to inexperience in raiding.
