the shards at 15% of many peoples damage. That’s a large chunk.

same as benthic gear.
imagine this comment even getting likes lol. There are so many people who say things like this but don’t have an inkling as to why these things happen, if these people who say this things actually did the content and took 2 mins to think about it they’d understand why.

Tier didn’t last the whole expansion either. Dom sockets aren’t much different than tier.
And I thought the Arpen and the corruptions traits was the worst.
Ultimately they tried something and see it’s not worth it to keep it around [they could just as easily jig it around and make shards drop only from newest raid but since it’s a ‘failed’ experiment, they let it go.
Probably also a feeler for a possible 10.0 system.
That’s part of the downfall of modern WoW, it ignores past content. In BC you started in Kara at 70 both in 2.0 and 2.3.5

Well,at least it will be like Dazar’alor, raid will only go for one thing.
For Sylvanas’s legendary bow.
Tier sets don’t get automatically disabled in new content. You could keep the benefit until getting upgrades. This directly makes you weaker, feels bad.

Kinda dislike. They already had restrictions outside of the maw for the bonuses. That should’ve been enough.
All I can say to this news is “Good riddance”.
Let us move onto better things like the tier set bonuses.
But with that said maybe they should consider disabling the raid tier set bonuses while in instanced PvP to keep it balanced.

Aren’t tier sets easier to farm as well?
Haha. This is why I vendored any Dom gear I came across. Still got shards sitting in void storage. If your borrowed power progression system is gonna be a transitory as this, I’ma simply gonna ignore it exists.

I think I only ended up with shard sockets in relatively low-level gear anyway, so… 
My benthic gear lasted me the rest of the expansion. I knew that at least then they couldn’t be corrupted.
and entire guilds were feeder guilds because of it. oh look you got a Kael kill… time to poach!
nothing wrong with feeder guilds feeding the uber ranks.
everyone now can see the content. beats the 160 people (a hyperbolic number) that saw naxx 40 in vanilla. The ubers still uber via scouring logs and getting people that way.
many saw it in WolK…and it just wasnt as epic… why not?
because so little people saw it in vanilla the devs didn’t want to waste it? It wasnt as epic to the few people that saw it in vanilla.
