Bring "normal gear" back?

[sam86]

Yes, for f8ck sake yes, no more proc or any sh8t of anything, this is probably the biggest turn off reason for me to get back to hardcore raiding

[Donald Hellscream]

Nah, I do want tier sets back but I am fine with there being some randomness to gearing. What I want is to dial back how much an item titanforge or whatever, maybe cap it like weapons are with 10 ilevels over baseline at most.

[ercarp]

Well, I voted no because I still want item level to matter—I don't want the game to become "Vanillafied". Just add reforging and a way to upgrade your items' ilvl manually (with some kind of currency) and I'll be happy.

[UnluckyAmateur]

Imagine getting your enjoyment from RNG procs instead of actual gameplay.

Because there's no RNG in classic at all

[Lochton]

Would you like Blizzard to bring back a completely standard gear system + tier sets?

Standard gear system:
- No corrupted gear
- No titanforging
- No azerite gear
- No benthic gear

I'm just curious.

I don't mind except that three of your examples on the list are clearly theme and limited to certain content.

Imagine being so salty that you no longer feel joy when you get lucky.

Something tells me this one hasn't gotten lucky in years.

[swatsonqt]

No way.

Tier sets means you have to do Mythic raid for that stupid set in highest quality.

Nobody liked that because it was not obtainable for most people.

Whatever you all want: tier sets are most likely not going to come back

I didn't mean vanilla gear. We would still have different raid difficulties so of course ilvl should matter.

Mythic gear > Heroic gear > Normal gear > get rid of LFR

[Redroniksre]

I say they should get rid of all RNG ever. Removes stats, only ilvl exists as an actual stat. On top of that, loot not longer drops randomly, each boss requires x number of kills and once that is reached you will get a predetermined piece of loot. You should be able to calculate to the second how long it will take you to gear up.

Well I guess I am nobody then, I always enjoyed tier sets...

So yes, please Blizzard; give back tier sets.

I like a system where the best gear are not obtainable by most people. It should only be obtainable by the hardest content. But that's just my opinion

No no no, stop being mean. We live in a time where it's unreasonable to expect people to do "hard" content to get good gear.

[Kaver]

Definitely. The game needs more welfare!!!

Jokes aside, the game is lacking mythic raiding guilds. And rewards are definitely one way to get more people into mythic raiding.

I don’t have the time to raid Mythic and I couldn’t care less if those who can have better gear than me.

IMO it’s a no brainer that the best and coolest gear drop in mythic raids.

Totally nope. I want more random gear. Random affixes with good and bad effects, with good/bad/awesome/ok combinations. Diablo/PoE style.

[KYZ123]

Mythic gear > Heroic gear > Normal gear > get rid of LFR

LFR won't get removed, because it will drive the casual players away. That might sound like a good thing to you, but it won't to those casual players, or (more importantly) to the investors.

[Cosmic Janitor]

The mechanics in WoW (and most MMOs in general) do no work well with "interesting" gear. What ever Blizzard thinks is interesting isn't that to begin with, I mean truly interesting effects that interact with the world, you know the stuff you'd see in actual RPGs.

You can't have a "sword of divine evaporation" that just kills every water elemental in one hit, you can't have spells that collapse a house, set a wide area ablaze, cripple your enemies, curse them with misfortune, freeze them so you can shatter them with a well placed strike of your weapon, etc. All of these things are just not facilitated in WoW. In WoW the hight of game design is 20 muppets wailing on some twat, no matter if it's a human or a mountain sized eldritch horror, with the same impotent weapons, skills and abilitites for 10 minutes straight.

[crusadernero]

Make gear great again!

Anyway, id like it if they found a middleground. Something like this:

Gear cant TF/WF, gear gives ilevels based on difficulty you do(LFR, normal, HC, Mythic).
Implement token/badge system so people can run dungeons/raids for it and over time have enough to buy items they lack from drops.
Give us the option to add flavour/spark to items. Maybe a reward from doing higher difficulty raids?

[Kaver]

I was just joking. I don't really care about LFR. It's doesn't affect me whatsoever

[Kaver]

Imagine you had to to the highest level of content do obtain the highest level gear, mind-blowing!

It's a crazy concept in 2019
