Any removal of easy character customization and planning or options makes the game less enjoyable. Flipping a coin is a boring game. The more you remove the closer you bring the game to that.
“My convoke is down let me swap to Circle of Life and Death legendary” felt really good. I am sure most classes had plenty of options that were similar and were essentially content that you removed. Every RBGer I talked to about thought it was a bad move and probably you should plan RBGs around what RBGers enjoy.

Totally agree. The games headed in the wrong direction. I’m probably not going to re-subscribe.
Pretty sure the only specs that did this were convoke druids and guardian druids with the occasional trinket swap for defending flags. All instances of this are extremely lame and the game is better for it, not worse.

I think a lot of classes had benefits of swapping leggos according to the changing variables within a game. E.g. Swapping to x2 Self-grip legendary on priest.
No idea why Sephuz is even a thing whilst Relent trinket is.

OH NO MY BOOMKIN WONT BE USEFUL IN RBGS WITHOUT IT. yeah bologna. you’re still going to be 30% of the ladder and collect points pressing nothing but sunfire moonfire and convoke.

You shouldnt be able to swap gear in any form of pvp.

Classic pvp was fun with a bag full of engi trinkets
you had to constantly think on the fly which two trinks would benefit you the most in any given situation
It was terrible and punished anyone who wasn’t an engineer. Very stupid design.

I HATE THIS CHANGE OF DISALLOWING GEAR SWAPING >:|
Pretty much they need to keep dumbing down the game to make everyone feel like they are special. What a cringe-y, boring, and attempt to cater to the least skilled amongst us type of change. Of course you can never make the game easy enough for whiney noob. What’s next? How dumb and simple can they make this game. Why not just make it like Legion and disable all gear? Why cater to the worst players? Just let them be bad.
Ya it only affected Druids… no one else did it .
Good it’s removed . God knows Druids don’t need one more advantage on their OP class.

The only gear swapping that should be allowed is swapping to 1hander/shield for spell reflect and shield wall.
I didn’t play at all this last patch, but swapping legendaries on the fly sounds like a balancing nightmare. Trinket swapping was already an unneeded level of complexity.

First off this tread is an epic troll. This change did not go into effect and you can still swap gear in RBGS lol.
But for conversation thats been started.
I guess no one here knows about the /use trinket, equip adaptation macro for preventing sap cap into blind? It not just boomkins that did it… most classes and specs can do it. Your a war in team fight with banner lego use it leap away swap back to a team fight lego. Mages could spec for a dps lego and then run away and come back with tirune. Your an hpally playing shock barrier but the other team keeps going you so you start to run prot lego. There so many lego options that make the change ups dynamic and fun. What if you didnt run trinket at the start of the game because you were going team fight and spec’ed double dps trinkets but now your sitting a base? being able to swap gear has always been allowed.
Was it really necessary to bring back a 7 month old thread just to correct someone on a point that we’re all very well aware of now? Lol
