Let’s not discuss the BfA Crafting system as a whole. I think we can all agree that it’s crap and just move on with our lives.
However: As this is the end of the Expansion and things are just going nutty bananas with corruption and sockets on every piece of gear, can we maybe get an increase to Expulsom droprates?
Me, and quite a few others I’ve talked to, are working on gearing alts, making them ready for leveling in shadowlands and therefore crafting the 2 craftable gearslots. I don’t know just how much cloth I’ve run through the mill over the runtime of BfA at this point but can we PLEASE get an increase to the droprate?
I don’t mind there being soulbound materials you have to actively go and get. Putting some effort into getting the gear is more than ok with me. But not shredding 1200 Braces to get enough expulsom to reroll the stats 4 times
And SL quests will also provide gear, so why prepare at all? Who wants to have an optimized character with good stat weights to quest smoothly?
I just went ahead, took tailoring and scraped a ton of cheap to craft Bracers (with SCRAP! addon) to get myself a stack of Expulsoms that I needed for the 475 Engineering Helm on my Alt.
I won’t be touching the 475 Tailoring stuff that are RNG stats… seriously, RNG stats to expensive mats? Absolute genius…
You don’t need optimized characters to quest smoothly. I was lvl 120 in the morning after BFA launch with a character I didn’t even actively play in legion that had pretty baaaaaad gear.
No, but needing something and wanting something are two very different things. And given that you don’t prepare for SL, why are you so bothered by other people wanting to do it? Why do you care about something that clearly has no impact on you. And more to my original point, what would be the downside of increasing the drop rates now?
I think its a good idea tbh prepping chars for SL and making it smoother no harm in asking for it at all imho its dead matts anyways so why not use them if poss it effects nobody .
Can’t you do so with basically any other source of gear ? Crafted bop gear is basically only useful for mains and progress, it’s not worth your time or money to focus on that for sl
That’s basically my point. Why is it less problematic to gear an alt myth raid rdy and get gear from there rahter than craft it? This late into the expansion, nobody gets hurt by them simply increasing the expulsom gain. The economy never hinged on it to begin with. there’s the odd item you can craft with it that you can sell but those are on the low-end of usefulness at best
