Why does Blizzard refuse to bring back vendors?

Adding warforged/titanforging was a step in the right direction.

I disagree, WF/TF are super lame you shouldn’t get geared based on luck (besides obvious boss drops) LFR shouldn’t be able to TF to Heroic+ level ilevel that’s ridiculous.

Blizzard’s problem is they’re not rewarding for difficulty, they’re rewarding for time spent playing or “fishing” for WF/TF etc.

WOTLK’s gearing system was perfect, there was nothing wrong with it so you saying “vendors are a bandaid fix” is ridiculous.

Blizzard gutted/messed up bad this expansion:

@Kydrav-bleeding-hollow

• No tier sets
• No challenge mode sets
• No unique PvP sets
• No/little outplay mechanics in PvP
• No class identification
• No class depth
• No skill gaps
• No PvP Vendors
• Overly simplified rotations
• Maledict Trinkets
• PvE absorb trinkets/items in PvP
• PvP gear being awful in PvP

@Talbyy-tichondrius

You saw vendors added for Azerite, you saw world quest scaling added in 8.1.5, and then again when the maximum scaling in last weeks mid-tier catch up was increased to 370 / 395 / 400 essentially allowing casual gearing options to scale up to the point where they’re equal to 1800+ rewards, War Fronts, caches, etc.

Btw, you don’t see what’s wrong with that? 1800 item rewards the same as mindless wqs?
