8/8 normal, 8/8 heroic, and a 10 every week, world bosses every week, still using 340 chest when I'm 370 ilvl. We are 4/8 mythic but that doesn't matter because the only piece drops from from the 7th boss, lol.

I think that the main problem is caused by no azerite gear dropping in mythic+, which it should have from the start.
Also the fact that when tier set where raid only you were able to have place holders you have none in bfa
Right I got the answer for what I wanted from decent folks.
close pls because I see some stuff unrelated and trolls

I have a lot of 340-370 AZ pieces sitting in the bank waiting for the next patch, it's ridiculous.
Given my neck is only level 21 at the moment (I've re-rolled already), I'm constantly having to sim if X item with 3 traits and a lower ilvl is better than Y item with 2 traits but a higher ilvl. Then, you change out one piece and have to re-sim everything else because 3 stacks of an average trait can be better than the BiS trait with only 1 stack.
Honestly, in every xpac past I've been able to eyeball most upgrades and only really needed to sim for changes in stat weights as I hit certain plateaus. In BFA, I honestly have no clue.
Nobody knows why Blizzard does 85% of the stupid shit they do. They manage to take good systems and make them worse because they're obsessed with "change."
M+ is worse in BFA than it was in legion.
Azerite is worse than artifact weapons.
Class design is worse in BFA than it was in legion.
The xpac, so far, has been a massive step down. I'm baffled as to how this even happened, it's like they just hire clowns every other xpac and produce pure shit.
The fact the azerite system was even allowed to go live in this state is wild. When launch as awful as it was I knew we were in for a ride.

Stop caring about your gear, you'll have more fun that way and unless you're raiding mythic it doesn't matter what you wear.
People complaining about loot nowadays wouldn't have lasted two weeks in vanilla.
I vaguely remember in full guild runs that tier sets for some wouldn't be flushed out for a while. Azerite pieces are supposed to be the new tier sets so it makes sense to me that it'd take a bit of time to flush out everyone.
The only thing that makes me upset a little is that i have an extremely small chance to get my BiS traits, since 1 of the pieces doesn't drop in raid, but I've come to terms with it. My heart goes out to those who strive for the best of the best pieces.
If you're not in an organized raid team good luck. If you are it shouldn't be much longer.
You got no upgrade from the heroic and normal cache the past 2 resets? One 340 chest isnt gonna keep you from going beyond 340 ilvl. My alt is 337 rn. The same one I mentioned above. I got 355 shoulders from the normal cache after you do 5 old dungeons. Maybe you can also? My other 340 hat and chest I can live with for awhile. I can still break 360 if they aren't replaced anytime soon. Keep grinding.

There are people doing 10+ mythic dungeons with a 340 item equipped.
You can get unlucky with loot. Back in MoP i did raid finder on my priest for THREE MONTHS and did not get a single item. And i did my max re-rolls too.
Lore posted a long message about Azerite gear over in the US forums : https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/...0102?page=2#24
TL;DR : works as intended, they think it'll be great once the traits are more balanced.
As a dual spec dps/tank, I can't even begin to say how much it frustrates me. So basically, I have to choose whether to use my single 370 azerite piece for dps OR tanking, god forbid I want to optimize for the content I'm doing ...
And of course, no discussion open on the EU forums, as always it's US-only if you want to try and make yourself heard by Blizzard.
367 ilvl wearing 340ilvl azerite armor checking in.
Good thing we've been playing a better game than Vanilla for over a decade. Loot systems should get better than the previous expansions, not just "be better than what they were in 2004"

This is honestly a big part of it. In the past there were other (worse) options for the tier slots, now there aren't any. From any source.
do you remember before the launch
"GUYS GONNA BE GOOD"
"THERE ARE NO MORE RAID SETS SO WE CAN GEAR OURSELF WITHOUT RAIDING"
"OMG GUYS I GONNA GET 3x 385 AZERITE GEAR FROM FIRST m+ CHEST, THIS GONNA BE SO GREAT"
what a clusterfuck we got instead.
ikr they can't take a step forward without a step back...
Don't get too hung up on gear and ilvls, just play to have fun with people and the content, instead of meters and spreadsheets dictating everything with self-imposed gate-keeping on yourself and other players. It gets toxic quick for everyone involved. Don't insist you're right as you'll just be making your own bed.
If you knew the candle was fire then the meal was cooked a long time ago.
You're just making them sound correct in their "assumptions" when you say things like you haven't seen any 340+ azerite while ignoring the easy to get 340+ stuff.
"I don't want those higher ilvl azerite pieces, so im going to pretend they don't exist so i can make my complaint seem more justified."
