Its so crazy how boring gear got in wow…a mmoRPG the items you get … a core element of the game. It had prestige and defined your character gameplay wise.
We had T-Sets with 2 or more bonus effects, PvP-Sets, You was able to use sometimes PvP sets and T-sets at the same time, Unique weapon like from deathwing, Even BFA had Azerite-Gear, Special weapon from ny’alotha, heart of azeroth…, We always had cool trinkets (they were sometimes broken in pvp but still fun and unique.
Now we only have an Icon with stats left, which exist in 100 different variations with different icon, no T-sets, no real PvP sets, no unique weapon, only trinkets left as a cool item in wow and in SL you “cant” use them in pvp, and you have so boring pvp trinkets…wow 1 onuse 1 passive and the medaillion gg.
You get everywhere everyday 10000 items.
I know M+, 4 different Raid difficulties, way bigger gain of ilvl/power = more Items = more loot/drop = you play longer the “content” = more and longer subs for blizzard…and its okay for me but SL has the most boring Gear/Items ever for me. Even BFA was better imo, PvP Vendor is a huge improvement but still …dont make any Item interesting or unique.
Well we should be getting gear sets at some point in shadowlands so there’s hope. At least the gear doesn’t warforge or titanforge anymore so it’s been a step to the right direction.
Gear, like everything else lately in WoW, is extremely bland and uninteresting. That’s the consequence of incompetent developers trying to degenerate an MMORPG into a brainless MOBA.
Wow is an old game , it’s normal to be boring .
They should revamp a lot of stuff but that’s another topic .
I for one would love to see they get bolder and try other things .
