Why not give Casuals high lvl gear?

We told everyone that Blizzard would screw up the level squish and that it was a terrible idea. But there was a neverending parade of people on this forum telling us that the level squish was going to be the best thing ever.

They’re holding WoW back with this Raid-or-Die attitude.

I mean I totally can relate to that. A lot of the coolest looking gear drops from the hardest content but there is also plenty of other good looking gear that you can get outside of that.

If you can get all the best or coolest gear from doing easy content than what is the incentive to form groups/guilds and complete challenging content?

Not having an extra 60 levels to slog through is the best thing ever

Casual already have access to high ilvl gear tho

That should be irrelevant. All they have to do is buff player damage within Legion raids by a ridiculous amount. They just flat out refuse to do it.

It sure is raid or die to give causals access to near heroic item level raid gear by doing braindead easy world quests and clicking on mushrooms

“we don’t want mythic gear just for logging in”

okay then. humor me. what do you want? be specific.

what ilvl gear do you think “casuals” should be able to get?

what content should reward the gear?

Don’t even know what this means. Yeah the legion raids are still not nerfed as much as they should be but you can easily get to a high enough ilvl from casual content to clear those raids.

Also I don’t think that having old xpac content being difficult to solo is a valid reason to change the entire gearing structure of the game lmao.

Welcome to GD where everyone complains and the item level doesn’t matter lmao

I’d say to ballpark it?

About maybe 2-3 peices of Heroic level gear max.

Ought to be enough to open some doors.

okay, cool! we’re making progress.

how will they get those pieces? how long should it take to get each one?

Week each.

Shorter after doing it once.

They tag a license or something that you purchase with gold to make it faster.

okay. what will the casuals do after they get their 3 heroic pieces?

Already done shadowlands dungeon week event give heroic gear

They can step into Normals and get the rest from there.

And if they like it they can do Heroic.

Unlike what the elitism crowd assume. Full Mythic gear? Come on. I’m not that foolish. I tried that stuff in Skyrim and now I don’t even want to touch my kitty that can spam fireballs.

You can clear every single Legion mythic boss with a 226 ilvl? I’d LOVE to see a video of someone doing that on every class.

but they can do that now without anything changing. the whole point is that they don’t want to. how does your change help them?

You give em more of a step up.

There’s too much grinding between getting to A to B for raiding even at the Normal level for fresh toons.

Divines help you if you bought a 60 booster, you get the most rubbish gear possible.

OK, check out my profile.

Like I said, casual, or an X heroic raiders definition of casual.

What more would I need from open world content to get me more ready for raiding?
