What’s the new system?
Added it to OP.
And here I was thinking I might come back to give 8.3 a shot. It was actually looking kind of interesting. Well, except for the forced vision trash. I see this stupid gearing system and the first thought that goes through my mind is that the dev team is huffing glue.

Not sure why they are seriously listening to the BFA playerbase.
If they will play through BFA they will play through ANYTHING.

Looking at the new system, it seems like they’re trying to reduce the farmability of BiS gear from Mythic+ by adding the “corruption” stat with limited mitigation. No more simply going for Titanforged whatever by spamming high M+ for progression teams. You’ve got to farm the best traits and balance it against your corruption resistance level.
I’ll be very interested to see how it actually plays out in practice, and how it affects the W1st race (if at all).

Yeah. All they need to do now is nerf mythic+ and the majority of players wont have a reason to stay subbed beyond 2-3 weeks tops.
The best way to retain players in a loot-based game is to have new potentially amazing drops annoy the everloving crap out of them.
These dudes are on some strong stuff.

I do enjoy the new system, ilvl actually matters now where you aren’t going to get a 400 ilvl base item and have it magically turned into 440+ with socket.
Also the beneficial effects with a negative is fun and enticing, if you don’t like it you can de-corrupt it having all the stats.

They always planned to replace it nothing new.
It’s their way of punishing the player-base for complaining about Titanforging, Warforging, and wanting PVP vendors back.

yo please support the other threads that have hundreds of commenters already instead of spreading this out too much, it will make it hard for all our voices to be heard if we don’t all work together on it. thank you!
Classics back on the menu boys!

Still want TF removed. Soooo
I look forward to the depth that corruption will add to gear. It helps add flavor, which is something we need, this is an mmorpg, after all.

It did we no longer get ilvl random increases whats the problem you do know they never planned to remove it right?infact im almost sure there keeping it just changeing the name and effect later on next expansion.
If Blizzard removed WF/TF and just went back to nothing like we had before they’d throw a fit about how boring gearing is now. Players just want something to scream about. I don’t get it, the WoW community is the only gaming community I’ve ever seen that screams at the top of their lungs no matter what the developers do.
Thankfully, most of us are happily playing the game and not complaining.

Become pretty apparent I’d say. Probably why nobody outside of the usual brownosers seem really excited about the change
But with all changes I suppose we’ll just see how it plays out
