Should all caches go mythic in the prepatch?

[Sierra85]

I was thinking it'd be cool/fun if these last few HFC/Highmaul & BRF caches in the prepatch were automatically upsized to mythic, even if the character hadn't done mythic content or got the required kills for the caches.

maybe a last ditch effort to get some items for leveling for those scrappy alts?...

[Relapses]

Nah, too late.

You will get full 700 ilvl from the Demon Invasion. Your own fault if you haven't prepared more for Legion.

I just thought it might be a nice thing to do for crappy alts that might be leveling up in Legion, /shrug

Quest greens are all they(you) deserve, really.
The quest greens are pretty decent anyway.

You'll replace everything rather quick anyways. And as I said, you'll get free full ilvl 700 gear from the Demon Invasion, so gear on alts is no issue at all.

And I believe Beta premade chars had 680 gear when starting, and I had no problems cruising trough the quests with that.

Nope, not needed.

You have leveling gear for that ;p

id rather have LFR gear. when legion hits, people will hardly do WoD LFR ever again, and missing tmogs are then more needed than mythic gear what can be farmed later at max Legion level.

[Irian]

That would be a pretty solid idea. They've had a tendency to make gear really easy to get right before the next expansion, this would serve the same purpose and it's even more needed than ever considering the wonky disparity between a geared mythic HFC character with a max ring and an average returning player. I don't know if it'll still be upwards of 10x the power difference after the pre-patch, but if it is then there definitely needs to be a few really good catchups.

[Felfaadaern Darkterror]

I can't ever remember a time when my leveling was slowed because I wasn't geared enough. I mean, I suppose I could have one-shot some mobs instead of two-shotting them, but it's actually more tedious, imho, when nothing lasts long enough to even get into your rotation.

[Eapoe]

Not completely terrible, but during the event you'll get pretty good gear as well as the fact that most raid level gear won't last you longer than a few levels before they get replaced. At this point in the xpac it's kind of a "why not" scenario, but they'd have to just upgrade ilvl of non mythic gear. There would be too many salty players wanting the appearance to themselves for having cleared mythic and putting the work in, and they would have every right to be upset about it.

[Felfaadaern Darkterror]

And in a way, they already do this by nerfing all the raids by a significant margin.

[Unzipped]

It's not necessary, but I do agree that it would be pretty nice to see. But rather than give everyone a free mythic cache, I'd rather they just bump up your cache to the next highest raid difficulty. I.e. if you currently receive an LFR cache, it'd be bumped up to a normal cache, etc. etc. probably a bit too late at this point in the expansion, though.

[Lochton]

Hmm, not sure this would be good. If people wish to catch on to the mythic designs, the pre-patch is a good time for them to do so.

[barial]

Highmaul gives 685, BRF gives 700, and thats only once every two weeks. Not sure how this would help at all with leveling, especially with greens being higher ilvl at 100/101 and the launch event raining 700 gear. On top of HFC being nerfed to the ground, making mythic gear easy to get

They will most likely update heirlooms at some point for that.

The gear from WoD LFR is the first time the LFR gear was completely different from its normal/heroic/mythic versions, so I'm not sure what you think is worth farming from there but most of it is a lookalike to baleful gear. It's all shitty. Cata, MoP and Legion LFRs are much better.

it may look shitty when you look it as set, but some items may work well with other tmogs. like belts, wrist. color options are also big deal... even if shade is little different. As you said yourself, rather farm old LFR-s than again WoD-s. But what to do with mythic gear, there will be old runs anyways, like in WoD there where MoP runs in dungeon finder and these are almost always mythic (because some people need old achis etc).

[Sierra85]

You'll get by with what you have already, and replace it in days.

if its all going to be replaced soon anyway, then why not bring a smidge of join and small character progression during the final weeks of WoD? like what does it hurt?
