hopefully it will be good leveling gear when this bfa shitshow is over and done with
"I'm Tru @ w/e I do" ~ TM
Pretty sure the duels in front of stormwind thing is pure BS. It doesn't match with LFR-only heroes.
I appreciate this version of WoW BUT i also appreciate the Classic WoW experience.
Both for different reasons.
Yes, i am lazy on "current WoW" and i kinda like it.
Classic i will need to "work hard" and i kinda like it also.
I think we NEED both this versions of World of Warcraft.

Why else would i want gear?
All i do is random BGs and Duels and World PvP. I do nothing else.
(well...i do LFR and Mythic 0 to get gear)
People fling that around so much. No one deserves anything really, except for some standout achievements and they get those. If everyone arrives at 430 there really is no big deal. Heroic raiders get there much faster anyway, while mythic raider push harder content for higher lvl gear anyway and give zero fucks about that 430 gear anyway.
Oh man... i hope they become soulbound then.
I hate when you have to play alts to progress your main... that's something F2P games tend to do to boost their active playerbase and it's not fun whatsoever.
Invalidates what where for whom exactly? Anyone who is half-serious about raiding does normal and heroic progression on week1. The token gear will have zero impact on that. It is a long term catch-up. If a person would decide to not raid because he can get same gear somewhere down the line - that’s on him, really. A fair choice, that has nothing to do with token gear. I personally decided to skip dazaralor threadmill because the gear will get invalidated in 8.2, should they not release more raid tier so the raids don’t get invalidated.
If token gear “invalidates” the raid to the point where one does not have to farm heroic raid for 4 months to get 430 gear and instead can do it in 2 with a combination of two - i’m All up for it. As any sensible person will be.
can't wait for the tears once people realize that giving heroic itemlevel gear to farmable world content with 0 difficulty involved will make pug requirements so absurdly high...
but blame r.io or the elitist, i don't know man.
I like the upgradeable system but 430 seems way to high
"Raid or die" is a thing of the past. Get over it.
Organised raiding is (and always was) a minority activity only about 10% of players participated in. What do you care if non organized players (again: majority of wow players) can grind a couple months for 430 gear? Heroic raiders will have their 430 gear a hell of a lot faster than that.
Casuals have always kept this game afloat. The appeal of WoW in the first place was that it was more casual than its predecessors.
Anyway this system doesn't invalidate shit. Here's the vendor gear to fill in holes that people were whining about since the start of BfA. If you're raiding in any capacity you're going to gear up way faster than a casual is going to get a full set of this gear and you're still going to perform better than them so why does it matter? You'll have the same or better level gear from farming your pug difficulty raid ages before the casual has a decent amount of this gear.
Where do you draw the line of not enough effort to warrant any gear progression? Do I get to say that anyone not raiding Mythic doesn't deserve any gear because literally all other content in the game is total faceroll for me?

I mean, it really depends on how fast you can get this gear, and it doesn't give you every slot to begin with.
Just because it gives you gear above heroic iLvL doesn't mean you're going to get it right away. Do people not remember how powerful badge gear was in TBC when the Sunwell badge vendor opened up, or how consistently powerful several badge items were every patch in WoTLK (you could get two pieces of tier in WoTLK). This isn't anything new.
Is the TF cap really 445? That doesn't make much sense considering the last bump was from 395 to 425. I would have expected it to be 455. Heroic dungeons and M+ giving 430 gear, and Mythic raids giving 445.
it takes so long to be fully geared by the time you get it there no time for Mythic+ or raids anyways above lfr lol.

I have to agree the raid gear looks so bad that im more of a world only quester with some events in the mix now that i do and some world bosses i can't stand timed content so i dont do Mythic+ anymore did it in legion tired of it in BFA.
