Please fix archaeology

Actually, i dont, i just want my gold back from the bait and switch

oh sorry but getting ripped off for your heirlooms is how it worked in the old days, better luck next time

Casinos arenā€™t forcing you to gamble either. Thatā€™s what their lawyers said anyway.

u know what the majority of governments did when the casinos said ā€œlmao its not our fault some idiots come in and give us money!ā€

they banned them in almost every place they couldā€¦

i guess the casinos didnā€™t try the ā€œits always been like this so it should stayā€ argument, those silly casino owners

if only they had looked at the wow forums

I used a variety of trinkets including Scarab Brooch from AQ40 at various points in WoTLK on my Holy Paladin instead of Soul Preserver. Iā€™m simply responding to your comments like this:

The vast majority of Paladins used it through ICC. Of course with the 30% buff and the Halion trinket that all changed in P4.5 but until then, Iā€™d say that 90% of Holy Paladins were using it.

Well, they really should stop things like that honestly, its bad game design

Why would anyone listen to your opinions on what is good/bad game design when everything youā€™ve said proves you have no idea what the classic community actually likes and does in the game? But go off on your own anecdotal experiences and tell us how thatā€™s how everyone else played the game and not like we have things like WL to show us that youre wrong.

I am confused. How does the current argument over gear design and how it was or wasnā€™t used in previous expansion relate to fixing or not fixing archeology?

Yes, because creating new items that no one wants to use cause old ones are better is great game design

Its a game about getting new gear, that new gear should make you want to use it

guys wearing leather was not fun on my fury warrior so i decided to nurf my warrior dps from 20 to 24k down to 15 to 18k by never putting on leather best in slot gear. also lower ilvl gear sucks i always upgraded even if it ment dropping armor penā€¦ see how this sounds dumā€¦

This discussionā€™s topic is misleading. Clearly nobody is interested in discussing something related to it anymore.

bump for bad luck protection

A lot of people did that, because it is a game after all

i found the dps warrior in og classic who had full warrior tier in molten core to dps not tank coz its warrior tier after all and its meant for warriorsā€¦ look im not saying you cant play the game how you like but if something is objectively wrongā€¦ well

Vanilla is a different beast all together, and obviously in the end blizz wants you to wear your armor type and upgrade your gear or they wouldnt have made a lot of the changes they have over the years

now we have something to agree on blizz wants you to do something so they change it coz they dislike how players interact with it. ( like gear getting a gear bonus for having your gear type on) on that note blizz knows people dont like archeology . they have know this since it first came out. they know they dont like players farming epics thats y we never got epics ever again for it. and they know digging sucks. they changed how it works in Warlordsā€¦ yet even tho they know and dont want us wasting DAYS diggingā€¦ they have not changed it. and dont say #nochanges they literally said in the cata interview that we would have a lot of #changes

To be fair, Onivoker seems to be a master baiter. Somehow managed to divert the discussion far away from the topic. So much that I have no clue what their opinion is on the actual topic of the discussion.

I do think archeology has a major problem right now. That problem being you can get very strong epic gear from it but it at stupidly low odds. The vast majority of player who would attempt getting them have to waste a ridiculous amount of time to have any hope of getting them.

I believe blizzard back then realized it was bad design which is why it didnā€™t happen again. They also seem to deem archeology a very unpopular profession as they practically abandoned it shortly after creating it.

Fix I can think of are. Either

  1. Remove those epics altogether. (but itā€™s too late for that since they released Cata already with them available)
  2. Increase the drop rate.
  3. Add some sort of bad luck protection system.

i think the issues is that they just cant do it coz there understaffed and will prio most likely broken lvl 85 stuff not yet fixed. after seeing there day 1 pre cataā€¦ that would make since. just come out and tell us so we dont have false hope. but i imagine saying that would open a large can of worms as is lol
