SOLO PLAYER PENALTY -- Avg Gear Score Capped @ iLvl 198

Not really a problem, I see it as a benefit.

Keep it up!

This thread has more drama in it than Gossip Girl.

So… confirmation that Tupac is Ralph. :thinking:

Oh gee, sorry buddy, it’s a personal problem. It’s 100% factual, because i said it. /s

I hope you understand the point i’m getting at here with this sarcasm. Hoping you understand people will say the same exact things back at you.

yeah but covenant gear is likely trash without the right secondaries right?

Having more time does not mean that you put more effort in. Please stop equating time investment to effort, this isn’t a school project it’s a video game. This type of narrative has to stop; not having any other hobbies or being devoid of real life obligations doesn’t make you entitled to exponentially more powerful gear than those who choose to have a life outside of WoW.

I don’t agree with OP and I think that a 10 ilvl soft cap below what the average Heroic raider has before the next patch is released is more than reasonable. It leaves a noticeable difference that makes it worthwhile to raid or do rated PvP, all while not creating an abyss between sweaty tryhards and casuals that just want powerful gear to stomp overworld content or progress through Torghast.

Don’t worry, these people aren’t competing with you on your RIO or your WCL parses. Literally makes no difference that their power creep is similar to yours.

As a leader figure of this community, I would just like to warn you that there are plenty of trolls in this thread that are actively trying to derail conversation and have Anti-Tupac sentiments.

Do not listen to them, this community would be a lot better off if highly respected posters such as myself had powers to help moderate the forums.

Why do you care what other people have. It has 0 effect on you.

I’ve got friends who work full time jobs with full time families and still raid Heroic and Mythic and still put together groups for rated PvP. They have lives outside of WoW. They simply created goals for themselves on their very limited schedules and stuck to those goals. That’s how things work.

You could have all the time in the world and accomplish nothing. And vice versa, you could have very little time and accomplish great things.

Philosophy for life.

The heroic level conquest turn ins weren’t even available in BFA until a few months into the season (you had to go through all the 400 or 445 weeklies before the 415/460 was available), and it’s possible Blizz throws in some catchup later in the season. You can also get your legendary solo, conquest pieces from daily wins (a tiny ilvl difference admittedly), and world boss loot. You can’t get very high, but you really couldn’t solo in BFA either, or just about any xpac.

This isn’t a me-specific thing, but thanks for trying to make it one.

Group content is, was, and always will be the content that offers the biggest challenge. That content should always reward the best loot.

In no world is challenging content getting devalued by World Quests any Jim can do in three minutes good game design.

Ralph at least more honest about what he does. And consistent.

That’s not how it works.

If you have a full time job and still raid mythic with this nerfed loot while still doing rated PvP, you have the opposite of a life because you’re either slaving away at work or slaving away in game with little time in between to really do anything else.

This is why people like me, the casuals are so opposed to this expansion catering to elitists like you.

Just because we can’t no life this game like you and you friends doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get a fair shot at gear.

Yes I know, on these forums there are plenty of neurosurgeons with 8 kids who are rated 2k+ in 2v2, AOTC, on the cusp of CE, time +17 Mythics and are nearly full BIS in every slot.

I also have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

So did everyone else… this doesn’t make you special.

Nothing is stopping you from doing the content except yourself. There isn’t a wall of players blocking your access to the instance entrance. Nothing is preventing you from finding 4 or 9 or 19 other players to join forces with to conquer the content. You can blame others all you want but in the end the only thing preventing you from doing the content is you refusing to do the content.

Yes… you should.

Say’s the person who made it all about me in this comment here.

This comment is so weird to me in this context.

It’s an RPG Gear progression is… a thing… harder content… rewards better gear… having easy content give amazing gear… both invalidates and trivializes harder content…

Yeah, I don’t remember Ralph every crying “CoC” and “everyone is mean to me” like he does. lol

:rofl: I am far from an elitist. Poor attempt.

Sorry, sir. That’s not an argument. And none of my friends post on this forum. You have no ability to refute the obvious. Create goals for yourself and you can accomplish them.

You’re just as tone deaf as my fan boy, both of you should get together and repeat this line until you come to the realization that no one is debating it.

They’re talking about iLevel disparity and a loot drought causing issues in both PvE and PvP players and their ability to progress, which is a lot more nuanced than your understanding of it.

You just admitted that all your friends do is play WoW and work a job with no life in between, so how exactly are you not an elitist?

There are so many people who are struggling with this expansion’s horribly gated gear issues and many are unsubbing due to it.

Even Ralph would call him the diet version… just 1 calorie.

Please stop being humble, my queen.
