Serious question: What % of players should have access to BIS gear?

So many fragile mythic raiders rely on gear not on skill?

No, we really don’t rely on gear.

It’s just polite to do the most you can for your character as part of a team. Rather removed, so we don’t get stronger.

Easy power upgrades within reach - > incentivized to get because content is difficult and playtime is limited.

Really? And you saw that in your magic ball? I suggest opening your eyes cause since TWW launched, we had a bunch here suffering from a loss of greatness cause noobs get heroic gear.

And thus in TWW, Blizzard upgraded LFR to normal/heroic raid gear. And wondered why people are complaining about reward structure.

Mind you, normal and heroic raid both exist as harder versions, just because.

Yeah you do,
I advocate for gear removal
and for WA removal while we are at it.
Lets see real skill then.

Removing gear means removing the set of tasks to do before people can do content. It’s a plus.

And in the current design, content nerfs itself every two weeks via a raid buff.

And ban weakauras, just means people fiddle around with base UI for a change. Maybe Ovi’nax gains another 200 to pull count.

or maybe it wont be killed at all,
I saw the amount of dings and cash register sounds is going on with WA, for each CD.

WA must go, along with the gear.

Can you link me these threads?

Stuff takes longer, but it will be killed.

Players aren’t that inept.

Maybe some guilds don’t get CE as a result of more time needed.

The funny thing is that gear and WA are equalizers, it would be much harder for the average players without them. While players at the top will always be at the top, even liquid admitted that they mostly used weakauras because it made their prog faster not because they liked it.

I disagree,
it is actually makes players unequal.

Remova WA, everyone would be on equal ground.

Weakauras, both the addon and the packages, are free to download and use by everyone.

Some people might have a harder time to track mechanics without addons for example, addons make it more clear to everyone hence make it more equal. It’s not like I don’t expect most people to not have dbm hence they’re used as equalizers.

I wonder how many pulls will be added to bosses if weakauras cannot be used for assignment purposes.

(But like… with echo hearts, people worked around private auras.)

But banning weakauras or all addons? How much longer would people need for the stars to align?

Its just after WA banned,
difficulty would be dropped immediately.
Which shows that mythic raiders are playing with addons against addon designed encounters.
Which the rest of the playerbase is not doing.

Depends of guilds, some might end up simply not being able to kill it. Adding this kind of check I’d say on average is probably another 50-60 pulls. It’s doable people did Fyrakk mythic without addon, you can figure it out.

It’s more that Blizzard refuse to give the tool to split debuffs, addons have always done it historically. On Odyn fight they gave players markers, we didn’t need addons for it.

You can have whatever opinion you want man. That does not meat it can’t be challenged.

And I just love how you people come up with these simplistic solutions. Well, I got one for you. If you don’t like Delves or the Delve rewarding system, ignore it.

I’m posting here cause the EU forums are dead. Plus nobody gives a crap what’s said there. So here I am.

Also they can incentivize it all they want, with glitter and gold, when people have to deal with the elitist types, it does not matter. You don’t seem to get it. The reason people hate M+ isn’t because it’s bad. It’s because some people make it bad and Blizzard can’t fix that.

One thing I can agree with is tuning up the Delves to be more challenging. Yeah, I’m all for that. What I’m against is the gutting of this progression path cause it makes the elitists sad.

And like I said, I’m from the EU, I can’t speak based on my own experiences, I don’t play on your realms, on the EU it sucks. The M+ community is rotten. And reading the replies of people here I’m getting the impression that so is the US one.

And you are wrong, buddy, the gearing philosophy has already changed. Just like it changed back when M+ was introduced and the raiders were the ones saying what you are saying to delvers right now. So maybe learn what irony means cause that right there is, in fact, irony.

Bosses wouldn’t be designed the same. They would be substantially easier.

Like everyone is using weakauras.

I dont.
