OW is tied with single player progression, that’s for sure.
I don’t understand why Blizzard continues to stay mid road giving the illusion that ow has a “meaning” gear wise while it clearly practically doesn’t.
But it’s ok, I will just complete the storylines as usual and then quit. I won’t spend time on professions only to craft gear for others or in doing again the same world quests that give +1 ilvl every Pope’s death.
I sometimes wish the game would require a party even to login, so I just can quit forever without regrets.
