Unfun crafting mechanics

Blizzard really needs to take soulbound off of expulsom, sanguicell, hydrocore, and tidalcore. This is obnoxious, and was a bad idea from when it was implemented.

isn’t it basically frozen orbs or w/e something iteration*?

I don’t see how raiding is a bad requirement to make raid gear.

Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket. Now…if these items were account wide…ooohhhh man, it would be fun for my all 2 alts.

to be fair it’s pvp gear now too, since pvp gear has no guaranteed source and no benefit over pve gear for pvp. so that’s probably a source of complaint.

It’s not raiding gear, it’s crafting gear. Also you get better ilvl gear from quests.

Ok. So should the argument also be to remove the requirement for raiding to get all raid gear?

Why only crafted?

Wait i thoguht engineering goggles and other profession specific stuff went up to the current raid tier?

When sanguicell was implemented, it was raid gear you were crafting.

Typically, the stuff creates gear that’s inferior to what you get from a raid. So it’s pointless for those that can get the mats.

There’s sometimes an outlier that’s hideously OP, but for the most part, it just makes that tier of created gear useless.

I can understand making it difficult to create because of the ilevel. But I’ve never been impressed with the crafting barriers to entry. They all seem designed to funnel stuff to a very few who already have better stuff.

Why would a tailor make cloth armor for someone else? Clearly, a tailor just hoards it all for themselves and doesn’t want to turn a profit.

So we should nerf the gear that is worthwhile to balance this?

The crafted alchy trinket and crafted engi goggles have been great. If those required no raiding at all to get, it would be quite funny (imho).

I would rather more things get buffed than nerfed. And if something is considered “hideuously OP” when needing raiding as a requirement to craft, then they definitely shouldn’t exist in that form without the requirement.

What do you mean. I was saying that it’s not raid gear, more saying it’s just gear. for any purpose. So why is one form of content forced to obtain it?

If you could scrap for Sangiunecell or w/e from apropriate ilvl gear i think we’d be in the clear. Scrap a 400 + item get a 400 + material.

I am saying it is raid gear.

Its raid quality iLVL gear that requires raiding to get.

As a new player, ever road I take leads to “do current raids.”

Weird but I didn’t know Mythic Dungeons were considered Raiding content now.

expulsom is indeed useless on my herbing/mining and herbing/skinning mat farmer alts. hopefully the game decision makers will un-soulbind them like they did with Mist’s Spirits of Harmony

Weird. I didn’t know sanguicell dropped from mythic dungeons?

Nah, it’s questing gear. You walk over to a quest and it drops anywhere from 355ilvl to 395.

Your argument still has nothing to do with it not being soulbound. Somebody is still raiding for it. This BS wasn’t thrown in the game until cata / mop.

But Tidalcore and Hydrocore do.
