Why must everyone think it’s about showing off to others?

Yes! Simple answer.

You: “ I need gear like everyone else so I can’t fit in but don’t wanna put in the effort for it”

2335

Because they have no other argument so they resort to childish tactics.

I loved having a full set of end game gear and mount, hell even in cata. Fully decked out as a human pally with full tier of fiery gear on your firehawk. Would afk for a moment to get a drink and come back to like 50 whispers, from asking where I got it etc. etc. etc.

Is there a special color to prove you weren’t carried or you bought the run??

What is wrong with people having pride in things they feel like they worked for to earn?

2339

Yeah it’s been like that throughout wow at least from what I can remember.

2340

You can’t really prove you didn’t get carried or buy a run tbh, there’s an addon that fakes achievements.

2341

So bring up another topic from what I said.

Let me ask you this. Why do you want heroic and mythic raid level gear?

2342

To clear those world quests faster

2343

I mean. It’s kind of odd for a player that only does LFR to ask for someones papers on whether or not their run was legit.

Better yet any casual player, answer me this.

Why do you want heroic or mythic ilvl loot?

2345

#1Mythic gear is more unique/better looking
#2I like shinies
#3I like deeps
#4Although it isn’t required to prog heroic raid I still want it since it’s available but I don’t want to work for it

2346

I was embodying a casual there as close as I could get at least.

2347

I mean I have a little proof Im good at what I do at the game, I have allot of gold, I have almost all armor sets 53/57 armor in the game I have over 371 mounts no recruit a friend either . I dont ask for special armor or rewards for what i have accomplished. 961 battlepets, All heirlooms at 120, pretty much all my accomplishments could be proven i did on my own and not carries

2349

I want to know from a real casual why they need heroic/mythic/glad ilvl loot? For what use.

2350

Again prove you weren’t carried. Or paid for a Achievement.

You don’t get to decide what the end-game is for other people. For some people, World Quests are the end-game because they have no interest in raiding or PvP. They get to level cap, and then that’s it.

Either way, this gear exists as a catch-up mechanic, so that those people who are coming into the expansion for the first time, or those who are returning after an absence, can easily get their character geared so they can participate in 8.2 content, rather than having to grind their way to that gear level by doing obsolete content.
