Whelpling shadowflames

Why cant there be a way to trade are excessive Whelpling shadowflames to drake shadowflames? I would gladly take a massive penalty trade to do so, I dont raid and m+ is toxic but like alot of players I still want to work and upgrade my gear, just a thought thanks.

I just wish I could give the welp stones to alts for low level catch-up.

These are basically useless. Even on my under-geared alts these are basically useless.

True too, which another reason why we should be able t trade up.

I tried to make the step up to upgrade some crafted gear and it only works on the starter gear, you can’t even add a few ilvl to shadowflame-crafted gear with the bottom two tiers. They are an example of Blizzard wanting to drive people crazy by taking up bag space for no reason

Trading up antithetical to the crest system.

can we get a vendor who will take them for some rep or trade them in for some free lock rocks/ mage water to use out in the world? a 1 hour world buff maybe? something? anything? its a waste of bag space and having to type D E L E A T E adfa ā€œdeleteā€ multiple times because spelling errors… :dracthyr_sweat:

Asks the question why? doesn’t it? Oh because thats the way they designed it, down not up. But again why? Because? And round and round we go. Sorry not picking at you but that’s circular logic. Why design it that way is the question/issue.

To incentivize players to move into more difficult content. To get better gear you need to do higher keys or harder raids.

With the previous system people would just run +2 keys to grind valor. You can’t do that with crests.

Yes that’s a fair argument. But people who want to do that content will still do it, I use to be one. But that’s fair.

Except people would run +2s to grind valor. This lead to characters who were actually geared for +2s would have a hard time getting a spot because over geared player would be signing up to run them. It was an awful problem.

Why’re you deleting them and not selling them? The fragments can’t be sold but the full crests sell for 5g each.

Because the entire reason for the crest system is to prevent people from perpetually running low end content.

And thats bad because? I want to run low end I can run it , if I dont I wont, you can trade and down. We’re gate keeping to prevent what exactly? Degenerate gameplay? Stop. Let people do what they want.

So, why can’t people get max ilvl gear from killing boars in Durotar? at level 1.

Let people do what they want.

It’s silly.

You can sell the completed crests for 5gold each. I have heard they can be used in crafting as well but haven’t looked into that.

Would be cool if we could trade those for renown rep tokens for alts and/or the paragon chests when we max out. Something to cash ā€˜em in for. Though I think we’ve got a pretty good gearing system this time around.

It’s not preventing anything. It’s a carrot on a stick to do more.

Yes, people grinding 2s and pushing newcomings out is degenerate.
