That feel when your best legendary is stuck in a raid that no one has any reason to do anymore

This is strange, I played very casually and came back about two months ago. Even then I was still very causal. I did not have to do the entirety of an expansion to get what I needed. I did the content I wanted to do and used the optional means offered to get what I needed. The only reason it took me longer to get my legendary items is because I did not know I could buy a chance for them from vendors.

Classic gatekeeping. If I had to suffer, you must also suffer. Instead of fixing the problem.

I had to grow up on dialup and played it my first year of WoW, so I don’t think anyone should be allowed to play WoW on anything but dial-up for their first year!

I had a similar issue with my legendary dropping from one of the world bosses, which didn’t even launch with the expansion, and then I rolled a /1 and the one I needed was the last in the rotation.

Meanwhile other people got to drool their way through a Torghast 3 and get theirs. Good system. Glad they learned from Legion. huehuehue

Well it is better than not having it and waiting for an LFR raid to pop? It’s not the best solution but it is the best we have at the moment.

The best solution is just to abandon my alt and just not play any one who doesn’t already have a legendary, because having to deal with this problem at all is absurd.

That is an option up to you, myself I have already done the “lotto” method on a DK. Basically if get all the easy non raid one out of the way, you increase the chances of getting your raid one pretty quick. The best solution would for Blizzard to just port over the memories into the current raid into a special loot pool like they are in CN. Then people can do LFR to get them.

Or… use your grateful offerings? You can literally get it just doing dailies lol.

Okay. So go get it. Make that your goal. You can obtain it. It’s not like patch 9.2 ends anytime soon. The raid hasn’t even opened up yet.

Nathria is, yes. But Korthia isn’t, Covenants aren’t, Torghast isn’t, this Zerith Mortis isn’t. There’s plenty of relevant content to play.

Just because it doesn’t drop gear upgrades doesn’t mean the content is irrelevant.

I’m seeing your replies and it honestly just looks like you don’t really want to play the game. What’s your goal if you had this legendary already? If they threw a specific pattern on a vendor, would you happily farm the required currency to get it?

It is on a vendor…it’s just that the currency to buy it from the vendor is not to your liking. Too bad, so sad.

I’m not going to keep going back and forth with you. If you don’t find the other means fun, then so be it. You don’t even need to use that legendary…you’re erecting these very walls and then whining about them being too high and/or tough.

Sorry the game doesn’t just auto play itself for you. Maybe try classic wow where everything is more simple (though just wait until you see the raid attunement processes).

Complainers like this need to get a boot up their rear end. There is the “random” legendary item for memories, however, here are a few things about that:

  1. it is available via grateful offerings, Archived research AND cosmic flux, the last of which drops like rain from the new zone.
  2. it won’t give you any you don’t have even in your bags, so you know the one you get is won you don’t have, if you get all the others, guess what you will get when you use it

If the raid was the only way, I’d agree, but the OP here has had other ways pointed out and is like “whaaaaa, it is not the way I want it”. Blizzard puts alternate ways in game, some of them very reasonable, but to complain about them as if they don’t have ways around the aspect they are complaining about (I.E. randomness)

No, casuals are just using the same arguments against the OP as elitists use against them. Most of the solo/casual players are doing the content that awards what is needed for the alternate path. If people don’t want to do such, they should settle for going without, just like those that want better gear from casual/solo gear should, according to elitists, settle for what they get based on what they do. Same argument, different situations.

Then isn’t it hypocritical for casuals to get madge about not having high ilvl?

The difference is that in this case there’s actually not a good argument for why OP should have to grind other currencies, whereas there’s a real justifiable reason why welfare gear shouldn’t be handled for casuals. The people hating on OP don’t understand the nuance of what is a good barrier and a bad barrier.

OP is not having his skill tested by having to go farm grateful burdens. It’s just a waste of his time. That’s a “Bad barrier”. “Git gud” is a good barrier. That’s I guess what casuals don’t get, or maybe in their mind they have it reversed.

9.0 was only one of the longest tiers in history I’m not sure why you would have had time to farm everything out then but now have time to come on here crying

Cosmic flux drops from everything. Even new content. He can use that?

You can use cosmic flux to purchase memories? I’m not aware of all the systems TBH.

Someone mentioned that above. I am not sure myself. But there are so many currencies you can get it from >.>

Or do content that was out for quite awhile and do it when it was current.

ib4: But I just came back to the game so I expect to have everything I missed without putting in any work.

The fact that people think this is a good solution is just astounding to me.

This Legiondary 2.0 system was complete crap in every way.

Show me where I can buy my specific legendary.

It’s the fact that I have to both farm a ton of currency and the roll the dice until I get lucky or run out of options.

You have to do it once per class. And its easy after you do all your mythic 0s and hand in all the memories. Not much farming after that.

Many of us aren’t mad about not having high ilvl, we’re mostly upset about casual content being a quick stepping stone for you guys, leaving us little else to do in our skill or time abilities.

Who is the bigger hypocrite, the casual who gets mad about not having high level gar or the elitist who belittles or insults said casual for their request yet then expects that same casual to agree with them when they complain about having to do something for what they want? Especially when ways from current content are in place?

Yes, it is part of the reputation there. or at least it was supposed to be from what some, including myself, recall.
