The idiotic system that is Soulbinding.

[Depakote]

Remember when they said Prime Glyphs were too complicated so they removed them?
Now they have the audacity to throw this system at us.. Do they think we'd have forgotten?

The "remove and then add it a couple expansions later" isn't a new approach, been going on for years now. And your reference is just cringy.

A few minutes before OP posted, in his imagination.

What reference? Also they're not replacing anything that has to do with glyphs in this expansion so i'm not really sure what you're getting at.

So, you've got 3 different "glyph-tables" in which you can socket different effects at will. And you can switch between those tables nearly everywhere so that you can adapt to every situation. I fail to see the problem here.

No. I remember them being mostly removed and glyphs in general becoming more cosmetic, but I don't really remember their reasoning. I haven't thought about prime glyphs in years. Want to provide a link to some sort of official Blizzard explanation?

Uhh, I don't really see what the problem is? Soulbinds are basically mini-artifacts with relic slots a la Legion. That's what the Glyph system basically ascended to. It never went away, it's just been taking a new form every expansion since Artifacts and this is its current iteration. And what exactly is wrong with that? The concept itself seems sound.

They literally are unpruning the entire toolkit for all the classes they pruned before, and them "unpruning" the prime glyphs in this sense of soulbinding isn't new, that's what I'm getting at.

that's not the point i'm making. The soulbind system is a convoluted mess that honestly should never see the light of day. Just re-emplement the glyph system that was in place during Cataclysm and get rid of this soulbind system.

Sure, why not. I did for someone else in this very thread but i'll do it for you too.

Maybe you should try reading, because that link doesn’t say one fucking word about prime glyphs being too complicated.

C'mon now, if we start expecting people here to source their bullshit this forum would cease in a blink

[NineSpine]

If anything it says prime glyphs we’re too simple. You just picked the obvious one and moved on.

Blizz said something 2012 so they are not allowed to change their opinion, now watch me reeee for two hours in this thread. - OP

Good job on totally misinterpreting the thread. It's this kind of idiotic thinking that surely makes MMO-Champion the best forum out there on the internet! /s

I dunno man, I can rub at least two brain cells together and it doesn't seem that convoluted or messy to me. Pick Soulbind, socket Conduit. ... :/ Where's the difficulty in concept?

I'm not seeing much sense in the problems you're having with the system.

But i did. Just because your reading comprehension is low doesn't mean it doesn't say what I said it does. Nice try though.

No, when did they say that? Source please
