Remember When

Do you remember when gearing was literally do X get Y gear?
Now engagement metric on internal spreadsheet DEMANDS you farm thousands of 2-3 different currencies (that conveniently aren’t war bound).
Also, don’t forget said currencies will be painfully drip fed to you so as to time gate player power.
Have alts?
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Enjoy being perma-gimped.

I am for raids being the only end game content and dungeon back being a stepping stone to raids

Want better gear than quests> do dungeons , want better great than dungeon ? do raids

But I don’t speak for others :stuck_out_tongue:

Remember when we use to be level 100+ and did millions of dmg and had health bars in the millions back in Legion… then Blizz said the numbers were getting too big so they did stat and level squishes (both of which felt awful) to tame said numbers?

Surely they wouldn’t turn around and make the same mistake, giving us power gains that bump stats by millions in a single xpac… just to give us temporary “big number” dopamine fixes… only to set us up for another stat squish…`

Yes, and it was awful. It was either get rare drop or get nothing. Now there are tons of options, catch-up mechanics, bad luck protection, etc. to be able to continue to progress your gear level if you’re having back luck with drops. New system is much better, you just have to take about 3 minutes to understand it.

It honestly feels like acquiring gear has never been easier.

I remember farming Thorium Brotherhood rep by endlessly grinding those incendosaurs to try to get the blacksmithing recipes.

Do delve, get gear. Easy.

Meanwhile i’m kinda just chilling. It’s always been a cycle with player power to do the same content but tougher. :robot::parasol_on_ground:

Or you could clear the normal and heroic raid once a week and be perma-capped on literally everything but the mythic crests. I guess that is harder than whining about being able to upgrade your gear on the forums, though. :thinking:

Idk… my alt is consistently higher ilvl than my main, damn that lucky brewmaster panda

Remember when a dungeon took an hour and you didn’t get anything from it and you ran it so many times you outleveled the thing you were after? Or running the same dungeon at 60 over and over and over and over to get one blue tier set drop? Pepperidge farms remembers.

I remember gear… in the mountains!

Remember when gearing was “do X, don’t get any gear for a season because it won’t drop for you/you get beat in rolls/the gear all sucks for your class anyway”?

Well hold on there pardner, because back in the day when it was do X, get gear, all of that gear was soulbound and your alts had to start from square 1. At least now you get a discount.

I do and they fair far better in the current systems than ones of old.
Not saying current designs dont have their issues but for the most part upgrades are smaller but come much more frequent.
