Feedback Thread - Set Bonuses + Trinkets

Once the latest PTR build is deployed and realms come up from maintenance, you'll be able to try out some new 6.2 gear! This includes set bonuses, trinkets, and PvP Gear! Head over to Stormwind/Orgrimmar and you'll find several gigantic, well-dressed Tauren NPCs. There should be one for PvP Gear, one for LFR sets, and one for trinkets + normal set pieces.

Please use this thread to discuss any feedback on the set bonuses or other gear. This will make it easier for designers and the QA Team to read over your feedback, concerns, and bug reports. We'd love to know what you think about these items but please keep in mind detailed, actionable feedback will help us the most!

High-Profile Known Issues (some of which are already fixed in current dev builds):
  • Multiple trinkets are not flagged properly for classes and specs. Setting your filter to "All" on the vendor window will let you see all trinkets and items.
  • Soul Capacitor (agility trinket) does not function properly.
  • Core of the Primal Elements (Shaman Trinket) does not properly apply the elemental spec bonus if the Shaman is not Elemental spec when equipping the trinket.
  • Demons summoned from Warlock Demonology 4-piece Bonus miss all of their attacks.
  • Shadow Priest 2-Piece Bonus removes the cooldown of Mindbender rather than reduce it.

    Will the raid chache give tier gear?

    Do not like the pet battle event being PvP focused, and requiring wins. That will be a hard event for many players. I would rather it be take part in 10 pvp pet battles if they want it to be pvp focused.

    None of the others do, so I doubt this will.

    Buy the brand new model, EPIC COLOURED, amazing flying mount, with new design and awesome particle effects!!

    OR spend weeks/months completing the new most prestigious meta-achievement of the new raid tier... and get ANOTHER recolored Wolf mount to add a +1 to your mount count. Because who wants one wolf when you can have 8 pretty much the same? Maybe this one will even have fixed the running animation!

    HELL YEAH BLIZZARD, HELL YEAH.

    that corrupted raven looks like shit, tbh. i don't get the love for the fel corrupted stuff.

    the armor looks like it's caked in shit, the mount looks bad, the wolf looks really stupid... i don't see the appeal.

    About time they start banning bot users but its a drup of water on a hote plate i bet. So many players using bots atm esp in pvp its sick. I hope Blizz can still turn the tide and continue to ban bots.

    Absolutely not. They added it to take the sales of gold from the farmers, and to allow players to have another way to spend actual cash on in game items.
    No shit they are gonna add a bunch of items that cost excessive amounts of gold.

    As far as I'm concerned, Blizzard can take all their cosmetic bullshit and shove it.
    I'll keep playing this game for the Mythic raiding environment and challenge, I'll use my sad excuse for dailies that is the Garrison to fund my game time and cancel my recurring subscription.
    Hell I make like 50k+ a month amongst 3 garrisons just logging in and cycling missions once daily.

    There is a a very clear reason why this game has done nothing but decline in subs since WotLK, and they just don't seem to want to reflect back on why the game was so successful.
    It is what it is, I am going to keep playing because I like the raids... but this game could be so much more again.
    Yes... until they apply 'raid passes' to raids that you have to buy with real money or grind 10000000000g 1000000000 apexis to go in... like the raid tiers in Heartstone. The truth is that everyone says 'this doesn't affect me at all' until it does and then they bitch about it and then they go. You think 'raid passes' are not possible or that it is too far out? Now that they have gold monetized every aspect of wow is fair game to be worth us$... they can just answer 'well if you don't have the time to grind that much gold you can always buy tokens'...

    Mounts rewards ingame look like shit... everything that doesn't looks like shit now costs money or a shit-ton of gold, not a coincidence. Of course people are gonna defend blizzard 'that won't happen'... but Blizzard is just cleaning house, they want the big whales paying and everyone else out. If they had 10 players and had the same income they would be happy, they don't care about players numbers... only of players money that's the big problem and that is why they can say 'yeah we dropped 3M but np here is another mount to compensate'.
