The release of TI has made me realise how many people haven't finished the legendary chain yet. I was pretty surprised.
The good news is the earlier stages are sped up a lot now and you can probably get the cloak in like 6 weeks or so (this number pulled out of my ass). Less if you're partway through... which I kind of assumed everyone was... at least up to the ToT grinds.
Yes.
Man was that a bad example.
(Sarcasm aside, it wasn't on the first week because of the way the staff was gated. People queued up for it, so by the time the third or fourth caster in your raid team had theirs complete, yeah every man and his dog had it.)
I am pretty sure that he was just trying to point out how ridiculous it is that the legendary cloak is such a huge bump in DPS, when it took no work at all to get, you simply needed to be subbed for an entire expansion.
They are essentially saying "Keep giving us money even if you don't want to play, or else."
I regret completely not doing the legendary quest line, right now I'm still on sigils with no end in sight. But am I going to complain about it? No. Am I going to wish it was a bit more alt friendly and quicker with gettiing the items as the patch goes on? Yes. I know they made some changes to make it a bit easier, but that's not enough right now considering it will take me atleast 5+ weeks at least just on my tank to get the cloak let alone my other 2 dps. 2-3Weeks would be fine IMO.
I actually think this is a big deal, for two reasons. First its way to easy to obtain, I have no doubt over half the player base on my server has it, therefore its not rare. The second reason is its a very large boost in dps for something that's so easy to get (only truly gated by time).
For someone in my situation, I left wow for my wedding and then my father-in-law passed away (the timing wasn't a coincidence we planed it that way so he could see his only daughters wedding) and then getting settled into my new job I have had zero time to play for several months. When I finally did come back it took very little time to get a 500+ ilvl but I still have no place in my guilds raid team until I finish getting my cloak! That means the next 6 weeks while everyone is getting their fill of SoO I am stuck only seeing lfr. I should never be sidelined for a player with a legendary item, because as then name should imply they should be rare! at best one or two per guild, not something entire raid teams have!
His complaint is that the quest has like 4 parts that no longer give you anything useful, still take at least 2-3 weeks and that you don't function as a player in current content without the end piece, which is fair.
I've ran all of LFR on my alts for nearly 6 weeks straight, and not one of them has all the sigils. I'm just saying some parts are going to be bottle necks like the sigils and secrets. Things garunteed like the valor points is fine because you know exactly how long it will take you.
yea legendary items tend to up your dps bro, so im not sure what you should expect
Shrug. In ToT I spend a few weeks towards the end gearing an alt and got her up to the Secrets of the Empire part really easily. Now when I feel like it I can go back and pick those all up at the increased rate, ditto the Titan Runestones. And voila, legendary.
It's only really a big time investment if you are starting a new alt in SoO from scratch. Even then you're only a few weeks shy of where my alt is right now. It's not actually going to roadblock you anyway, you can gear up for SoO just fine without it.

Is that some kind of joke? I got the first legendary daggers on my realm (not a low pop one either) back in DS, and if you've gotten the legendary cloak in MoP you've done at least twice as much work as I did. Pickpocket Hagara - wait - turn up to farm every night - collect clusters, that's all it was (well plus the rogue quests which were hella fun, wish I could replay them). Dropped in NM too, could've pugged the fucking things...
And that wasn't even as bad as the FL staff, which was just "take a number, get in line".
The daggers were so insanly easy to get on my rogue but so fun, I wish the cloak was like it or at least catch up was as easy I still find it sad that people aren't able to down ToT on my realm cause they are too stupid to do anything right, they still can't kill loa spirits on Council -_-
I got all of mine on my alt in two weeks. Think it took three on another alt (was one short lol). I guess you got RNG fucked pretty bad.
But what do you mean "all" of LFR? When I did it in ToT, only MSV, HoF and Terrace dropped em, now I think they all do. With ToT in the mix the first grind should only take a week.

Well it's not as cool as the daggers, but being for a specific class meant they could do awesome things like stealth missions, and the floaty wings on-use. And the great theme they had. So a cloak for everyone can't really be that good.
But that flurry proc looks pretty fucking badass and does some awesome damage. I think it breaks CC though

Wasn't that bad, IIRC I used to get about 2-3 sigils per week on average. I think by the time I started doing HoF I already had most of the ones in MSV. Probably took about 8-10 weeks initially (bit messed up by the time lag between MSV and HoF), down to I suppose an average of 3 after the drop rate buff.
No offense dude, but some people don't really care if you have to quit playing for any reason. They're going to take whoever they feel is better suited for the group, and if the other guy has better gear, legendary or not, they'll take him.
Also, what legendary was "difficult" to obtain?
Sulfuras? Farming mats and RNG off the Ragnaros
Thunderfury? Farming mats and RNG off Garr and Baron Geddon
Aetish? About the only "hard" one because you had to kill Naxx 40 bosses for Shards
Warglaives? RNG off Illidan
Val'anyr? Farming bosses, you could outgear Yogg +1
Shadowmourne? Farming bosses
Dragonwrath? Farming bosses
Fangs of the Father? Farming bosses
Nothing really tough there.
I'm 11 weeks away (going by the fact that literally only Lei Shen is dropping those god awful Titan runestones), you can still keep up, 5% is noticeable but it's not devastating and it is only fair on those who did stick at it the whole time.

You fall behind when you take breaks from MMOs. That's how this genre works.
I haven't even started that quest on any of my characters, how long would it even take to get?
A few weeks. Depending on luck with drops.
On topic: if you don't play, you fall behind. If you whine, you get trolled and abused and belittled and patronized. Welcome to the interwebs.
