I see what you are saying about the “zero effort”, but in a related conversation, if you are doing all of the sources of gear it does take time and a commitment. Do you feel that if someone is doing an organized raid for 4ish hours a week they should without question be a higher item level than someone who doesn’t raid but likes to do a variety of different things - often by themself - but plays for 20ish hours a week?
How does it feel if you get passed over on receiving the same item multiple times in a row?
In your opinion, should mythic plus and organized raiding be the only sources of loot and everything else gives some flatline blue gear?
