    But yeah. Legendary nowadays just means a grindier to get really high item lvl epic. I seriously don't like it.

    Shadowmourn or Valy'nir were as grindy, but for example I like the way Shadowmourn was crafted, you had to this and that, get that an the other thing. Many guilds managed to make 2 or even 3 of them, but was still a relevant decision, who gets it, when etc, and obtaining it actually required a guild to adjust their strategies around fights to complete it.

    I detect some special snowflake disorder here. Legendary has always been about the effort you put in, and I for one actually had hoped they would switch to a broader Legendary quest.

    I loved that this new method of Legendary did not exclude any classes (leading to plenty of annoying jealousy) and also added a ton of lore and purpose to the game. Dedication deserves a reward and if that means we have to redefine what a Legendary is, I for one support it.

This has to be the HARDEST legendary item to get.
    That is not really true, because in each stage you get a significant benefit, the Sha Gems, the Extra weapon gem slots etc.

    The biggest gap between LFR and Normal is that you actually have to rely on each other. If you're of a cooperative nature, it's not that big of a jump.

    I think the number of guilds getting destroyed by Horridon is a testament to the gap between these two difficulties. Gap which, I remind you, the devs felt the need to fill with Flexi raiding.

    technically legendary means it's the stuff of legends, which means it doesn't really exist, it's just a made up uber story.

    so if anyone has it, it isn't legendary anymore, so we should just delete the orange color from our itens, amirite?

    WoW Legendaries are usually items with heavy lore behind them, rather than imaginary items.

    I agree with the OP. In the World of Warcraft 'universe', a legendary is a unique item (usually filled with lore, but not lately), that took a lot of effort or sheer luck to get. Everyone having it is just silly.

    I already had issues with vastly 'common' legendaries like Shadowmourne or Tarecgosa's, where we had dozens per guild, but now it just got ridiculous.

    I actually liked how rift did legendaries, raid end boss always drops one.

    I support this normal mode is a joke, I only do LFR and did a tot pug while ago people who failed on leishen did so on retard check mechanics like stand in the cloud to avoid adds spawning, yet we got over swarmed gg. Those idiots certainly don't deserve the legendary if LFR people don't. Heroic raiders are the real raiders as stated above. Either give it to everyone who puts in effort or just the hardcores.

I liked it when getting a legendary made you actually stronger than 99% of the community , and it was all purely BASED on luck, because right now , a legendary item isnt so legendary when every damn raider in the world including LFRers have the item, or will eventually get the item.
    So, relying on stupid RNG (and sleeping with the GM to get the said legendary ) to get an orange is better than working your way through a long quest chain with a lot of steps?
    This is silly.

    I've never had a legendary, I haven't even bothered with getting one when it's not longer relevant - and I completely agree with OP. It should not be "fair", it should create an incentive to step up in the raiding scene. Not some wellfare giveaway.

    Lorewise only one person forged shadowmourne in order to kill the Lichking am I right?

    Actually, the MoP legendary may actually be multiple rather than unique.

    Its legendary because it has orange text. That's all that matters to the current generation of WoW players, the principal and logic of "legendary" is irrelevant to them.

    The devaluation of legendaries was inevitable what with the homogenisation and casualification of the game. Whether it's good or bad, the concept of what a legendary is has shifted in WoW and is now different. Just like everything in the game it changes. Whether the changes are good or bad, is up for debate. Personally i thing both sides of the argument are solid and have merit.

    Why can't there be both a legendary drop & one you work for in the same tier or expansion?

    Legendary, at least by a simple definition, says to me that it's very lore heavy. The current legendaries are very lore heavy. That doesn't make me want to do the quest though. Amazingly, all I really knew about the Warglaives of Azzinoth was that Illidan used them and that made it my favorite legendary of all time. I have 3 sets of glaives atm: DK, Rogue, War. Need it on my monk next lol. (I have good RNG luck)

    Legendary =/= special snowflake.
