When Pre-Patch for The War Within hit, armour pieces from BFA was scaled up, making old items with Longstrider, provide a bunch more movement speed.
These items have previously been used for “speed sets” in old content, so clear dungeons and raids faster, which for some of us, is great fun.
They have since Pre-Patch been nerfed from 67% to 8%.
I understand that 67% movement speed from a single item is alot, but stuff like this makes it so much more fun clearing old content, doing quests and exploring the world.
Being 8% now, makes it so boring, and to a point where playing a class like Druid is better than optimizing gear on the class you actually like playing. Fun ruined!
I would really hate to see the best way for such, is just buying the newest gear on AH with +Speed. That game design would be too dull and uninteresting.
Not to mention, that these items have absolutely no relevance in current content, as the traits cannot be accessed beyond the BFA Expansion, due to the Heart of Azeroth neck being required.
Stop changing old fun stuff, focus on making better new fun stuff.
