PvE gearing is ridiculous and the development time could be put elsewhere to provide better and more engaging quest lines similar to the epic quests of the old days.
Its not impossible to understand PvE gearing but the current iteration makes the game a lot less enjoyable for players (and especially alts) who primarily enjoy PvE content.
PvP gearing has its own issues (the rating requirements are really silly when we used to just have one honor set and one conquest set and winning was based on skill not massive gear disparity at rating break points (1800-2099 cough cough) ) but it’s vastly better than PvE gearing.
My suggestion to blizzard for 10.0 would be: gear is gear. Tier sets need to be the only “gearing system” for PvE. No soulbinds, no anima powers, no Torghast, no legendaries (or if there are, they need to be random drop with a currency to help with bad luck and the currency drops from ALL content not crap like war fronts and Torghast).
Spend all the extra time you save not having to try to poorly balance these systems on long form content

The only way for Blizzard to hear your feedback is to go play a game where gear is gear, like FF14.

I’m not a huge fan myself but it does seem like a wildly popular system…
So I agree, let’s bring it back
FFXIV gear is so boring even vanilla dungeon blues are more interesting

Sounds good.
You stay here, then 
Bfa had no legendaries which was bad imo, and azerite pieces were a straight up bastardization of the legion artifacts, so no, not bfa
Can we send upgrading gear to Wow super hell? I really hate getting a piece and seeing months of daily effort to upgrade it whether its in pvp or pve.
If Legion came out today it would be a C tier expansion. Players are tired of all of the systems Legion introduced. Legion was the origin of all of the borrowed power systems and ridiculous grinds.’it was just a lot more bearable because it was new and they tied a bunch of immersive lore to it.
Bfa is essentially a Walmart version of Legion
“Legendaries” as they are called are an ARPG system and WoW is not Diablo. If they want legendsries I suggest either ultra rare drops or quest lines like MoP and WoD. BfA also had a legendary btw but just like legion and SL there was nothing legendary about it.

If you like zero procs, zero sets, and the most interesting thing about your gear being sticking a gem in it, sure
I love FFXIV, but the gear is not a strong point

Hey, I’m just saying what I want. I don’t want to raid log, which ap an legendaries were great for
I wish people would stop hyping FF14 like it’s the peak MMORPG experience.

If you think gear is hard to understand, you’re probably not even pushing N SoD.

Damn I know I’ve disagreed with you before on the context of how casual friendly this game should be but I’m with you on the simple gearing process 100%! !!!
It honestly shouldn’t feel like I’m studying just to figure out how to gear my toon.

Sorry you don’t feel that way, I’m a big fan of WoW myself but I still think the hype has merit. I think that WoW could learn a few things from FFXIV. For example, KISS!

It will never be as hard as getting into PoE in 2021
This isn’t a biased opinion btw, I’ve played FF14 earlier this year before the Asmongold hype.
