FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
You do realize they can have a vender sell extras right? They did that in MoP where you picked a primary cloak but then you could purchase the other cloaks from a vender for a cost. They could easily do the same thing where you get your first free from the quest but any further ones you purchase from a vender. I don't see an issue here.
All that depends on how frequently legendaries will drop in the next months... I somewhat think that Blizz expects most people to have 1-2 legendaries in the next couple months (maybe the drop rates will eventually sky rocket) and the real grind will be getting the perfect ones. If that is true I don't think that this will be a big issue
I was one of the dopes that was excited for legendaries before Legion was launched.
I had no idea casual guilds would start benching people without them.
I believed that the BAD LUCK protection was going to be for people who did not get a legendary - not for people waiting for a second or third.
Farming 1% mounts for years.... how could I have been so stupid to think this would be a good idea. Then again I'm just a person, not a company with hundreds of employees that could've noticed this fucked awful terrible design for progression and gearing.
Now I'm left just thinking.. Fuck you Blizzard.
LOL. There's nothing left to do but laugh my ass off at this whole "Legendary" scheme.
Today I finished the final Order Advancement research in my Class Hall. I can now equip two Legendary items.
Except, I don't have any legendaries. Despite playing every day, doing my emissary quests every day, doing heroics, mythics and raids etc. I've run the goddamn maze like a good little rat and pushed the lever over and over and fecking over again, and my interest in continuing to do so is quickly waning.
And now, they're giving me a quest chain to upgrade the legendary items that I don't have.
Honest to god, WTF are they thinking?
This expansion is already most alt unfriendly, with this changes it will be alt nightmare.
I just got my first legendary yesterday. I have similar amounts of playtime, etc... Keep at it and you'll get one eventually.
As for the other hunter doing 40%-70% more DPS... that's totally a L2P issue. Legendaries don't account for that much of a dps swing. A good legendary accounts for like maybe 5% of your dps...

I think the problem is that people with the good legendary will be on the upgrade path. People who do not have the good or no legendary will not be. This would further increase the performance difference between players. Someone mentioned this can between 40% to 70% which is a huge difference if that is indeed the case. I do not know.
I have not read the page so I do not know if people who do not have a legendary can acquire the upgrade materials.
If a quest needs to be completed before acquiring the mats for the upgrade, then the player needs to make a decision to either upgrade a bad one or wait. People with no legendary will need to wait to acquire one, then complete the quest to open the ability to acquire the upgrade mat.
If that is the design, then it is a poor one since it will cause a massive gap between players with upgraded legendary and those that do not.
In a competitive setting such as raid slots, this puts certain players in a distinct advantage that would just further widen as the raid tier progress.
My current legendaries as an Arms Warrior:
- Aggramar's Stride: increases movement speed by 75% of your haste (DPS warriors don't have base haste and I only have 15%, so do the math)
- Naj'entus's Vertebrae: If Whirlwind hits 3 or more enemies, it hits them 1 additional time (Seeing as arms aoe sucks outside of bladestorm, this is literally my savior in Mythic+, but still one of the worst)
Actual good legendaries as an Arms Warrior:
- Ayala's Stone Heart: any attack has a chance to make your next Execute cost no rage and be useable regardless of the target's health (so basically a free fucking Execute that can be procced by anything u do)
- Archavon's Heavy Hand: Mortal Strike refunds 15 rage (Mortal Strike costs 16 rage, so people with this legendary can basically prevent themselves from rage starving caused by MS any time they use it, seeing as they only spend 1 rage so it's basically free)
Believe me, it matters...
Just save the damn upgrade item until you get your "holy grail" legendary, its not rocket science.
This is fun when you have zero legendaries
