Tww is suppose to be a saga which means it’s an ongoing story ,so here’s my question why can’t we keep our stuff.from season to season whin the same storyline…I work hard to get my tier set…it’s not so hard to just upgrade it little bit little instead of making obsolete…that means I need to replace 4 times 1 per season that doesn’t make sense…they need to stop this…

I’d rather not keep the same gear and tier bonuses for 6 years, or even one year.

It would be cool if the game had ESO type set pieces.

If your not getting new gear every season theres nothing to do not everyone plays for only story

I mean. You can keep your S1 gear if you want.
It won’t be very good, but you can do it.

Ok so, let’s look at another game that could be considered a “Saga”: Mass Effect. Do you keep all your guns, armor, levels, and skills between mass effect 1 and 2?
Nope.
So the story being a saga has nothing to do with the game mechanics of upgrading gear, leveling, ect…
Plus this is an MMO, the gear treadmill is what keeps people playing. If I kept the same set every season it’d be boring as heck.

Nah, gearing in WoW is super boring. Content keeps people playing, as well as Evergreen systems like housing.
WoW’s gear treadmill is played out. The gear choices are not even interesting verses like a game like Path of Exile.
Nah the same gear every season would be boring. ESO does it like that, and I’m seldom incentivized to change my gear.
OP, maybe you need to approach the game differently to fit your preferences.
E.g. maybe a lower effort strategy over a longer term would work better: If you just do a few dungeons or delves a week, you’ll get tier eventually between catalyst and vault without needing to grind hard.
And if you want to be competitive day one of a new major patch without any effort…yeah not going to happen.
Here i am playing to play, haven’t read one quest nor will I ever read a quest, have not watched 1 cut scene nor will I ever watch a cut scene. I play to play not read or watch clips. Just glad people invited addons to Skip all that…i get a lot of people like that stuff but a lot of people are also like me and don’t care.
Sorry let me clarify, I’m just talking about the tier piece’s not all the gear
So like you got you hero tier piece 6/6 season 1
Ok then in season 2 they can be same piece but now 6/10
So you have more ranks
Then season 3 -6/12
Then season 4 -6/16
And of course the ilvl goes up as welll
So it’s a gradual climb…
Instead of zeroing it out and starting all over again…
If that makes sense…
Tier sets were always meant to change how you play your class each raid tier, or season since Legion. They were never meant to last longer than a major content patch.
You are describing Azerite Armor and Azerite Neck, and Legion Legendary weapons.
People didn’t like that back then, because of the eternal treadmill.
No one is ever happy with a particular system in this game.
It seems that Transmog handles that problem. I have certain weapons that I feel look good on my main and alts in transmog form. When I get a new weapon I transmog it into the weapon I like.
For me this solves the problem.
WoW is not a saga. THIS is a saga.
Harsh that hearing for Houston the Raven:
Foes had enfeebled the fortress at Bexar,
Leaving it lacking and looted the while
Hordes were sweeping swift on the land,
Hell-bent to crush him. The cunning old prince
Did not, though, despair at danger’s onrushing;
Hardy with peril, he held it, perused it,
Reading each rune of it. Reaching the facts,
He thumbed through his thanes and thought of the one
Whose guts and gray matter were grafted most neatly.
“Riders!” he rasped, “to race after Bowie!”
“Bowie,” he barked when that bearcat of heroes
Bowed to his loved prince, “Bexar must be ours
Or no one must have it. So hightail, burn leather!
Hold me that fortress or fire it and raze it.
Do what you can or else do what you must.”
Fame has its fosterlings, free of the limits
Boxing all others, and Bowie was one of them.
Who has not heard of the holmgang at Natchez?
Fifty were warriors, but he fought the best,
Wielding a long knife, a nonesuch of daggers
Worthy of Wayland. That weapon had chewed
The entrails of dozens. In diverse pitched battles
That thane had been leader; by land and by sea
Winning such treasure that trolls, it is said,
Closed hills out of fear he’d frisk them of silver.
Racing now westward, he rode into Bexar,
Gathered the garrison, gave them his orders:
“Houston the Raven is raising a host;
Time’s what he asks while he tempers an army.
Never give up this gate to our land.
Hold this door fast, though death comes against us.”
The flood of the foemen flowed up to Bexar,
Beat on the dam braced there to contain it.
But Wyrd has no fosterlings, favors no clients;
Bowie, the war-wise winner of battles,
Laid out by fever, lost his first combat,
Melting with death. Yet the might of his spirit
Kept a tight grip on the trust he’d been given.
“Buy time, my bucks,” he told his companions.
“Be proud of the price; our prince is the gainer.”
Bold thanes were with him, thirsty for honor,
Schooled well in battle and skilled with all weapons;
Avid for slaughter there, each against thirty,
They stood to the walls and struck for their chieftains,
Houston and Bowie, the bearcat of heroes.
Twelve days they ravaged the ranks of the foemen.
Tens, though, can’t harrow the hundreds forever;
That tide had to turn. Tiredly the thanes
Blocked two wild stormings and bled them to death.
The third had the drive of Thor’s mighty hammer,
Roared at the walls and rose to spill over,
Winning the fort. But the foemen must pay.
Heroes were waiting them, hardy at killing,
Shaken no whit, though sure they were lost.
Ten lives for one was the tariff for entry;
And no man got credit. Crushed and split skulls,
Blasted off limbs and lathers of blood
Were the money they soughted and minted themselves –
Worth every ounce of the weregild they asked.
Of every eleven, though, one was a hero
Turned to a corpse there. Cornered and hopeless,
They strove while they yet stood, stabbing and throttling,
Meeting the bear’s death, dying while fighting.
Chieftains of prowess, not chary of slaying,
Led and fell with them. Alone by the wall,
Travis, the red-maned, the truest of warriors,
Pierced through the pate and pouring out blood,
Kept death marking time, defied it until
His sword again sank, sucking blood from a foeman.
Content then, he ended. So also died Crockett,
Who shaved with a star and stamped to make earthquakes.
Kimball, the leader of loyal riders,
Bonham whose vow was valor’s own hallmark.
Crazed by their losses, the conquerors offered
No truce to cadavers; the corpses were stabbed
In hopes that life’s spark would be spared to afford them
Seconds on killing. Then some, taking count,
Bawled out that Bowie was balking them still;
Like weasels in warrens they wound through the fort,
Hunting the hero they hated the most.
Least of the lucky, at last some found him,
Fettered to bed by the fever and dying,
Burnt up and shrunken, a shred of himself.
Gladly they rushed him, but glee became panic.
Up from the grip of the grave, gripping weapons,
Gizzardsbane rose to wreak his last slaughter,
Killing, though killed. Conquered, he won.
In brief is the death lay of Bowie, the leader
Who laid down his life for his lord and ring giver,
Holding the doorway for Houston the Raven,
Pearl among princes, who paid in the sequel;
Never was vassal avenged with more slayings!

I personally love replacing my gear, as it means I’m getting stronger.
What is the upside to this? Just using the same stale tier set every season just doesn’t sound very fun

no thanks, i’d rather not be stuck with the same tier set for a whole year, already went through that in wod when they gave up half way through.
