Gear System. Who thought of this?

I think it really comes down to what situations you are finding yourself in, how do you play, with whom do you play, how often, gaming habbits etc. Whatever you guys type in here, does not change the fact that loot system is broken in some peoples opinions and I think there are more people than ever complaining about this, which says there is an issue.

Its the least fun loot system for me since couple of xpacs I played. To the point where I have decided to crawl out of my hole and start posting on forums, for the first time in many years I play this game. We are here on the forums to display that loot issue, so that devs may want to consider changing or tempering this.

All your arguments make sense, perhaps devs went all through the same discussions durring development, but that does not change the fact its detracting fun for many of us. Tell me if there is a better way to provide feedback and I will comply.

Different things might be liked or disliked by different people. I don’t see the problems in the current gearing system, and many of the players don’t either in the game. Ultimately is on the devs to decide what kind of gearing system they want to have in the game. Few people which are vocal on the forum don’t represent the majority of the player base.

what you describe has no effect on number of CE clears .

finding people for Mythic raiding was always a nightmarish ungrateful job .

I would say how even if we would have different gearing system how a lot of the players which aren’t now participating in the mythic raids and mythic + dungeons wouldn’t than either because of various reasons - people don’t want to stress over the game, they don’t want to make from their game a job or don’t have the time for dedicated raiding, some might not like those activities in the game at all and might not be interested into the e-sport aspect of the game.

That is the difference. Vanilla had catch up mechanics by playing fun content. If they implement here catch up mechanics by using battlegrounds and dungeons it would be fine.
The problem is you have to play most boring and dull content to catch up. Everyone is saying island expedistions and warfronts are not fun at all. I have no idea how this sh*t go live throught all testing levels. expeditions and warfronts should no be a part of the game at all, but instead they are forcing people to play it by removing rewards from fun content and adding rediculious rewrads for trash tier content.
CURRENT WOW LEAD GAME DESIGNER IS UNCOMPETENT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED!!!

Players have now a lot more options to choose from where they can gear up than they did before, they aren’t forced to do warfronts if they aren’t finding them fun. They can instead do mythic dungeons or incursions for example, its all about the personal choice.

You are right, but I do not need to represent majority for my “vote” to matter. I want a change, if I would not believe I could influence the change by writing on the forums, I would not do it.

You can only hope to influence the change, but the vote of the subscribers which don’t like the current system doesn’t have the more value than of the ones which like it. In the end it all boils down to the vision of the game which the devs have for it.

Well, I do not see people experessing their praise on the forums that they love the current loot system. You are welcome to create such topic and gather feedback. All in all, always comes down to what people will decide to be more vocal aboout. Either an improvement is made or not, that is all based on number of upsides / downsides of systems and the way people decide to be vocal about specific systems. Please, do not question the right to post on forums or invalidate posting here as legitimate way to provide feedback. Shall you take that away from us, I will just have to settle to be the silent unhappy customer.

I never did question the right that people are free to express their opinions on the forum about anything in the first place. But I also had to share the views of the other side in question, because when the such big things such as the gearing system one or the ways how are people supposed to play the game change in the game they affect everyone in the game and not just the people which are vocal on the forum.

I agree, that could have been overstatement from my side. I had that impression from your comment - because I do not represent majority of players (how would you know though?) I have no right to express my opinion and I should not be trying to influence change.

Because this game for instance is played by several millions of players worldwide, and I doubt how all they think the same things about the game and the different systems in it. So I never took the people which are posting something from their personal subjective stance as the view of majority. There is nothing which would indicate how that would be the case.

The fact the game is for million of different people is the reason we need a better loot system. This “one size fits all” we have powered by RNJesus to accomodate everyone from the hardcore to the casual clearly is not working because is one of the main point of complaint of the whole game.
I did not recall the same amount of anger against the loot system in the good old days with tier sets and badge vendors.

How would you know though, did you put this to vote or pool? You are quick to assume I am not in a majority, at the same time you assume you hold majority rights by assuming they like it (why? because they do not write on forums about this?). Pointless discussion so lets not speak of it and stay close to subject.

Next step is activision to make us pay real money for better gear…

I never said for one how my opinion represents the one of majority because I don’t know that, but at the same time there is nothing which would indicate how it does yours either regarding the gearing system.

And when it comes to this I think how it would be a wise idea before Blizzard would make any big changes of the content in the game or implement some new system which would impact everyone if it would make a survey about the game which would be sent to all current subscribers ( and maybe even some players which stopped playing not to long ago ) to get an clear idea about what the majority of the player base wants in this game.

It is crazy, BFA is a lootfest tree, shake it and hope for the best fruit to fall down, then enjoy the gains. Regarding the RNG, anyone who actually likes it? im curious

A few weirdos in this thread, havent heard any reasons behind it though. And when you check their chars, they are decked out in Warfront/World Boss gear so i dont know tbh.

Well if you don’t know something refrain from talking about it, these people are only weirdos because they take you ramblings seriously, which is weird indeed.

Lastly if you want a sense of accomplishment then maybe try accomplishing something, like anything.
