So, in a further move I can only describe as completely idiotic, LFR gear & M0 Gear is getting downgraded to blues going into Dragonflight. Way to further push people out of the stuff you claim you want them to do dev team, bravo, just bravo. I really takes some level of work to be this completely and utterly Tone Deaf
-edit- So, after doing more research on it when not just on the john at work, appoligies where they are due, I saw the article and had only skimmed it and it gave the appearance of more than just a rarity down grade, as, typically, blues are lower ilvl than purples, and I missed the part where the ilvl was still preserved it was only a quality tier lowering and nothing else had changed, so my appologies for the knee-jerk reaction on this without doing the due diligence I should have done. That said: while yes, the power is the same on them, getting purples intrinsically feels better than getting blues (just like getting blues feels better than getting greens) so I do still think it’d be kinda silly to make that change just for the sake of making it, but that’s more a ‘feel’ than a mechanical type change.
Is it though? Because I’m in beta and saw a raid where only the last 4 bosses give purple and I remember posts about this too. I don’t think it’s a bug.
It’s not the color, it’s how effective it is with your build/class and the ilvl of such gear. Sometimes the effect is more useful than the flat out stats you receive.
As primarily a casual PvEr, the change does not faze me in the slightest.
