Patch launched 5 weeks ago, but yeah actually. Others have 4 set, I’ve earned mine just the same.

But players were “properly” doing content prior to this patch just fine…what’s preventing you from “properly” doing content this patch?

Tier sets aren’t bad… RNG is the real problem.

So yeah, what you’re essentially saying is you have absolutely no idea why tier sets are removed but you feel like it was to stop a toxic cycle that apparently existed that people apparently complained about enough for them to be removed with a system so much worse than tier sets in Azerite armor it’s not even a fair discussion.
I’m glad you were able to apply the plush yourself on here just make sure you don’t forget the wig and red nose it makes the costume.

Oh you mean like spending 3 months on domination gear? That is the most recent example.
At least that wasn’t such a big power gain.

The only thing poor on their part is how stupidly RNG it is to get it. Anybody who hopes to nab one from Raids are better off doing Mythic + because not only it will be like any other Tier gear, it can be upgradable, unlike the one you would get from Raids…
Then again… Shadowlands is that expansion where drop rates for a stupid weapon is below 1% in dungeons. So it ain’t a surprise we’re stuck scampering for this stuff in order to be able to get into groups for the most easiest of things alongside of being leagues away when players who did get their pieces by sheer luck of said RNG.
Azerite being bad doesn’t make tier good. Imagine thinking that’s a good argument, lol.

I mean I think it’s absurd that he thinks that Tier is good because Azerite is bad, as if that’s how logic works.

Any new player being thrown into The Maw during any course of Shadowlands would make them upset.
Point aside, the system just feels really bad. Like how could they screw up this bad kind of bad.
Because in legion people were busy being angry about legendaries, trinkets, and titanforging shenanigans, and also everyone had a tier set by the second raid. This is the first tier set in shadowlands the power that it replaces is domination gear there is a significant difference between a player in tier vs a player without, even if that tier is lfr junk. M+ is established as a permanent feature of the game now there should be a way to get tier through it without relying on the vault, similarly tier takes the design space of pvp sets and it works in pvp, unlike in legion. A big difference between now and legion is that the previous raids didn’t have tier so the tier we’re getting has the same stats as normal gear but also just class changing power that other gear doesn’t have. Even lfr pieces are outclass mythic pieces without the tier print, its a lot of power to just leave to rng.
What is entitled about not wanting 20% or more of your character’s performance tied to rng despite putting the effort in? Its the same reason why people were angry about legion legendaries, and you might remember that got a vendor because they were right.

Still not sure what you mean by this, you feel like they screwed up giving out loot that you work for? Dunno still scratching my head.

They screwed up by putting such a big slice of power behind tier sets, when it should be baseline kit for our classes.
This sort of thing comes up a lot. We’ve been clearing the raid since it opened and the only person in our raid group without at least 2 piece is the guy who isn’t able to show up to normal clears most of the time. And I was able to trade him a token for his 2 piece tonight. Hell, he would have had 3 if he’d been able to make it for our H Lords of Dread kill last reset, too.
So…my takeaway from this is that people are simply confusing their personal poor luck and/or the lack of a consistent community/guild to raid with (and that cares if their fellow members get the gear they need) for a “poorly designed system!!!” Which isn’t surprising, really, given the seemingly recent trend of people mistaking their personal dislike of a story for “terrible writing!!!”

I think with 9.2 tier being released we have found the fabled group of players known as “the raid leads gf” that people bring up.
Tier is fine, and this tier’s tier sets aren’t especially more powerful than previous tiers. (No, seriously. They’re not.)
The mistake was moving from 3 tokens to 4.
At this point, with forced personal loot, it should really be 1 token.
But the class distribution on the 4 current tokens is idiotically bad. The most-played classes on the same tokens? Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.
Nope. tier sets have always been a raid thing.
hate to break it to ya but many different classes use the same pieces of BOS gear. its really no different here
