The irony of you saying you have no way of getting better gear because you are " casual " yet you are going to spend months farming benthic gear
Have you ever thought if you applied the time you play the game to actual end game content you would get gear better than benthic ? Imagine the "months farming" you spent on raids and M+ instead of just farming Benthic
You'll have to find them first, they aren't that available. I've only really seen two since I started looking, though I haven't played much in Nazjatar, been focusing on Mechagon. As for the PvP Event, it feels like it is less than once per hour. Though the debuff suggests it can happen more often, because otherwise why bother with the debuff at all?
A few of the items are bis for the raid. Id expect how helpful they are to be nerfed though.

I hit a socket and avoidance on the tank threat/damaged item. I was pretty happy with that. Sadly it is a tank I rarely raid on, but still a sweet pick up.

First and foremost, I'm in Nazjatar to unlock flying, but I also want the mount and intend to earn the achievement.
You have had some very bad luck or an extremely low bat for what is dramatic, being dramtic about drama perhaps. Seriously though there are a lot of great groups out there at every progression level that is fun loving and drama free. As Levar Burton would say, you don’t have to take my word for it.

My friends are jackasses who only talk shit to me and always blame me for a Arena loss. I got sick and tired of it and said /bye.
Guilds have drama because of my lazyness. I admit. I skip some raid days because i burnout...totally my fault.
Mythic +....its a crap show with random people and i always get frustrated.
I guess i could find new friends
I guess i could stop being lazy
And I guess...i could find a awesome guild?
There's a pretty clear difference in casually farming pearls, which allows you to drop the game on a dime if you need/want to do something else, versus getting locked into a dungeon/raid (especially ifyou're pugging a raid, because who wants to kill bosses you've already killed for no chance at loot if you have to leave halfway through?).
I play casually. I work 40 hours a week plus I'm putting myself through college, I don't have time for any sort of raiding and barely have time to pop a few dungeons out a week, should I be inclined to deal with: a. 40 minute queue timers as a dps or b. idiot dps who die to stupid shit and subsequently lash out as a tank or healer. **Edit** or C. Shithead tanks who think they're god's gift to the game and refuses to even consider listening to the healer or dps to chill for a moment because mana or something else.

Manapearls are alright. I don't think they're particularly addictive though.
I don't like that Benthic gear can roll sockets randomly. Especially now that the new gems are stronger. It makes all non-socketed pieces trash.
What i did to have gem sockets on all slots of Benthic gear:
2 alts
Did the starting quests and everything that could be done on day 1...PLUS i opened a chest that unlocks the Laboratory event which gives a crap ton of pearls.
You get around 30-40 pearls per alt on day one.
Buy Benthic gear 1 by 1 and send it to your main...until it procs.
I managed to get sockets on all slots like this.
Basically use alts for gem socket procs.

I think you're missing the point. Just because you can brute-force it doesn't mean I will stop disliking it. I also don't play any alts, so abusing the laboratory event doesn't even work for me.
Besides, I'm a mythic raider. All my gear is 415+, and I'm 418 ilvl. Every piece needs to be upgraded to at least 410 with socket to be worth replacing; most of them need even higher than that. Realistically I will probably only replace my wrists and hands since those were my lowest pieces. Since I already need a lot of manapearls to upgrade, it's annoying to have to reroll the starting piece to get a socket to begin with.

You're never going to do a S3 +10 in 360 blues, you need to get the catch up gear now unless you wanna waste time doing S3 world quests or low M+. That's just for under geared alts and returning players, but even a 7/7 upgraded piece can be bis for mains since there is limited RNG on the stats and you can target a specific combo.
The point is calling Benthic gear useless is just factually incorrect.
Your persistence of vision does not come without great sacrifice. Let go of the tangible mass of your mind, it is only an illusion. There is no escape.. For the soul burns on everlasting encapsulated within infinite time. A thousand year journey at the blink of an eye... Humanity is dust..
ja, ok, cuz these millions manapearls for 425 lvl gear will be farmed easily until next week on ur low geard alt. cuz with the next week mythic and hc route will be much faster than collecting millions of manapearls.
and no, Benthic gear wont be BIS for mains.
so again: its useless next week (as stated by ultima ratio), as there r more efficient catch-ups. but if u like to waste ur time with underpowered gear, have it ur way
We will most likely clear heroic in the first ID, worst case the second.I will literally replace all of it in one, max two weeks time.
Dont get me wrong, I am still doing the dailies and save my passively farmed pearls up and if any procc gets changed or buffed I will be ready, but currently its just strictly worde than mythic tear.
