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.
because the skilled, non-mindless content will reward gear that far exceeds measley 430 gear…
Example is currently in 8.1.5, the max ilvl that world quests offer is item level 400, but the max ilvl that raiding offers in Crucible of Storms is 420.
So not sure why’d you complain about measley 430 gear for those who don’t raid, when those who do raid can acquire 450 ilvl gear.
That vendor doesn’t really matter, it may give out 430 stuff or w/e but it’s like a vendor and will take time. The mythic ilvl is like 445 so there isn’t a huge gap either though.
You’re arguing with people whose arguments boil down to: “Gearing why I play WoW. Stop letting the casuals gear up after all the content is old . It’s cutting into carry sales”
You’re a collector. Which is fine. All of those things are cosmetics. What isn’t cosmetic though is gear progression. Most of those things are just time consuming. Clearing hard content is not only time consuming, but requires skill and coordination to get done.
Patches last for 6-8 months? I had to do that content? Why should someone else be able to skip it? World quest being end game content explain to be why they need heroic ilvl loot to do world quest ?
My raiding history is mostly going back and doing those raids on my own after an expansion has passed you faild to bring up none of new raids were done yet since you were checking me. Again i proved my case.
Oh ok so it’s perfectly fine to skip tiers of content by picking flowers got it.
Catch-up mechanic shouldn’t mean catching up to heroic raiders’ ilevel as I said multiple times it should be for prepping for normal raids and content of that difficulty.
heroic palace = 430
Benethic = 430
Wym?
I’m sorry is BoD/CoS not currentl content? 400 is still heroic raid’s ilevel (405/410) is it not? It’s not old content, in 8.2 it will be old content. Try again.
And you were playing the game while that content was current. Someone who just joined the game because their friends are playing has not had 6-8 months, and they’re not going to be interested in slogging through long grinds to gear up while their friends are doing the new stuff.
Gear catch ups like this have existed since BC. Get with the program or find a new MMO.
You’re complaining about people getting 400ilvl from emissaries after several weeks of WQs to get a high enough Ilvl to start recieving those caches. It’s not automatic, if you’ve ever touched an alt WQ emissaries start at 315 and require you to have a higher ilvl.
I’m sorry if you’re so shallow that casuals having an equal ilvl close to you is hurtful and undermines your sense of accomplishment.
Still not as many people running it sugarcube, compared to when it launched.
