Why not make a way for heroic dungeons to farm out mythic gear?

For example, every dungeon you do gives you one token. After 30 tokens, you can get a piece of mythic gear. These tokens can be used to also upgrade that gear.

The number of tokens required could be tweaked, but someone like me is likely never going to push beyond 15s. I don’t enjoy the every mistake = death type play, but I would like to get the gear at some point in time.

This would also make it so that heroic dungeons have purpose longer than three months after an expansion releases.

No, if you want mythic gear do the content that awards it.

If they were going to do it, I would prefer a system like they had in BFA for Azerite gear. You got currency that would allow you to roll for a random piece for a specific slot every 2ish weeks, or you could buy specific piece every 3-4ish weeks if you saved your currency.

But yeah, if players could farm currency from heroic dungeons for mythic gear…you would have people living in heroic dungeons for the first 2-3 weeks of the patch and that would be bad.

Several world events award Champion gear but cannot be fully upgraded doing the content in which is was earned. Argument was made moot by Blizz themsleves.

Champion gear never meant you were meant to fully upgrade it. It meant those that did do the higher content could use it.

Grinding +2s for bonus valor is a hell hole for everyone involved let alone heroic. You really don’t want people going mach 10 in heroics.

Ok let me simply this.

If you want to upgrade or the highest level then do the content that awards the credits.

You shouldn’t get heroic ilvl gear for doing normal level content.

What benefit is there to gatekeeping gear?

So people don’t stop doing the content and take the path of least resistance?

There isn’t any gatekeeping. The term gatekeeping is an excuse.

If you want upgrades gear go do the content that rewards the gear. Stop playing a victim. Nothing is gatekeeping you but you.

This is going to get a lot of hate, but honestly I don’t see why you shouldn’t be able to hit max ilvl with enough time spent. I think 30 is way too low, this should be a sort of like, keep plugging away at it and after months of work you’ll be able to get there type deal.

At the same time though, it’s incredibly easy to get geared out in heroic level gear. It’s super easy to get gear in this expansion.

Its not gatekeeping because you refuse to do it.

That’s hit how this game works. I don’t know why people are suddenly trying to change this games design after 20 years.

Yeah man, I don’t see why they added m+ and tried to change the game’s design after 12 years.

I actually hate this game mode but it did revigorize the game.

You’re kind of going to get something like this in season 3.

Crests are becoming a currency (instead of fragments > crests that take up bag space) and once you’ve maxed out your use of X crest (eg: if whelp crests no longer can upgrade your stuff) you’ll be able to trade them up into higher-level crests.

Right now it’s the equivalent of 6 current crests (90 fragments) to get a higher-level crest, which really isn’t bad if you’re able to just blast through your current content.

I don’t know if you’ve looked lately, but this game isn’t doing as hot as it was. Times change and the game needs to change with it.

That is still fully progressive, not get an item and upgrade it forever from repeating heroic dungeons

You can get heroic raid level gear by doing heroic dungeons.
