FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
they should of allowed you to purchase the BoP armor for that character and the BoA version for alts at the vendor.
but they also should of stuck with MoP's class design and itemization and of had at least 10mil subs by now.
should doesn't mean will or does unfortunately.
I like the idea that certain gear is better in some situations, but in reality it's just become this inventory micromanagement minigame that I detest.
benthic gear is fine. it's just the final balancing of it that ended up bad. you would think that that would be something trivial for blizz to fix in any number of ways, but apparenlty not.
Keep in mind that benthic gear is ONLY useful in the raid.
Not understanding what gear/stats are good for your character and why/when they matter is doing yourself and everybody you run with a serious disservice. It take almost no time to figure it out and pays huge dividends.

To add to that the boots for example get stronger as you gear up other pieces, so while it's item level doesn't change its strength climbs week to week.

Not entirely several pieces have the best stats for specs and since you can get it with a socket you easily have pieces that are better than even 455 gear if the higher item level piece doesn't have a socket and a less ideal stat breakdown.

It beat gear from mythic. Depending on your spec 1 to 4 pieces of benthic are your bis for EP.

The worst thing about benthic is on day 1 of the raid many people already had their bis items for 1 to 4 slots. Mix in the possibility of them already having a bis trinket from crafting and a neck you never replace and that leaves a very small loot pool.

Benthic gear was one of the best gear/itemization updates in a while. Most have been asking for some kind of gear vendor and we got it. Of course there have to be complaints about everything though.
The issue of 425 ilvl items being better than 450 is a different thing entirely and that's just about balancing said items. The system itself is fine though.
And also, benthic is kind of old news by now.
It's perfectly fine to have BiS pieces coming from other places than the actual raid.The worst thing about benthic is on day 1 of the raid many people already had their bis items for 1 to 4 slots.

Not so much so easily. Even than the best and hardest content should have some sort of usable rewards, Before mythic was even unlocked for my main only 3 bosses could potentially drop loot I would have used. That is a terrible design in loot and progression of it. Some of that is an issue with TF not having a cap though.

Man, you woulda lost your mind if you were around for WotLK launch, when people didn't upgrade t6 gear until Naxxramas.
Also, consider this as an alternative: Instead of neutering gear until it's boring incremental upgrades again, why not instead argue for cool and useful mechanics to be on more raid gear than just trinkets again? That's this crazy thing called a win-win situation.
Be seeing you guys on Bloodsail Buccaneers NA!
Unless you want that socket it is piss easy to get the 3/4 pieces and the socket gives such minimal extra dps anyway.

Remove benthic? no

Edit: Not now obviously we are too far into the tier, but they should've nerfed it asap.

But I'm confused. Mythic raiders have been saying for ages that mythic raising isn't about loot, its about the challenge and overcoming it as a team. Now you are saying its about the loot. I'm so confused. What are the driving priorities of your raiding? Is it the challenge? Or is it so you can have pretty purple pixels that others can't have?
