Gearing is easy if you have the contacts etc. Just ask someone who got loot and poof he/she gives you the item etc
I was looking for transmog gear in Wotlk raids. When you do dunegons/heroics (lvl 80) and first 10 man naxx the item level is 200 and expanding to 213 for 25 man naxx.
In Legion the item level growth for items it starts from 800 and we have 880 (without orange stuff). So In Wrath, the entire expansion went from item lvl 200 to 280 = 80 item levels in 3 raid tiers.
And Already we're at that point and we have not ytet completed the first set of raid tier.
This why we're having a stats squish. But Where will this end?
Item level grow to 915 with the new orange stuff. And we have still not cleared the first set of raid tier. I can't understand why we must have this ammount of gear available since it just cause people to get angry.
The point I am trying to make is. Lets say you're getting an item. You the nget another item for the same slot with worse secondary stats but is 20 item levels higher. Well you have to equip it but still might be worse.
I think Blizzard should have another look with the "warforged/Titanforged" system
