That’s why it’s called “legendary”. What’s the point of introducing an item that everyone would run left and right with?
Everybody is. Well almost everybody. Those that haven’t got it by now are being gatekept out of content.
How do people miss the point so badly? It’s like you have to go out of your way to do it.

Oh no. That’s another story on it’s own. Sure the chain is “Stupid” but it’s still part of it’s design so we will endure it no problem with it.
BUT just like people stated up on this forum;
1- It’s not dropping and Blizz ain’t doing jack s-t when they can soo easily to change it
2-I need it JUST TO KEEP UP with other classess???
Coz Imagine you wanna do a +13 Uldaman on Tyr week, you see a 3.1k+ Warrior on S3, with 3K score atm on 525 iLvL, you inv him assuming he also has Axe at that iLvL and rio, inspect him and boom he don’t have the axe. 2 options;
1- Kick him
2-Keep him
At the end of the dungeon Overall Destruction Warlock does 450-480K (518-522 iLvL)
Retri Pala with lego does 480-520K (520-525 iLvL)
That Warrior does 390-410K. (525 iLvL)
If smth bad goes down there, you gonna get flamed coz you couldn’t do the dps those classes did.
(
Since almost everyone runs with it, then let him blame himself for not having managed to get it so far.
I don’t remember any Evoker threads complaining that they were suddenly excluded from the game because they didn’t have a legendary item.

And now its pointless even to grind it… Or spend gold on it considering new exp in 2 months…
“bRuH”
It is called a legendary without being legendary. This is the only legendary (Excluding Legion ones) that does not feel like a true legendary. I’m sorry am I missing something ???
Is this the Shadowmourne 2.0 ? ?
Is it truly gonna be epic as that ? No, go and ask to those who wield it…
This is just a common item with special effects on it , with bad system behind it. It was not introduced last week or in S4, it was introduced many months ago. (Same story with the Evoker legendary too!)
In S4 there’s no point of not making it purchasable with Bullions at this point or not making it a guaranteed drop on (Insert number)RD/TH kill on Awakened week. Because just like you said, people actually have it left and right…
But players who main those classes and been unlucky or got back into the game recently are gonna get punished because… Blizz said so ? 
SMH
Well, it’s a Blizzard game, so if Blizzard says you’ll be only able to get weapon like before, you have to accept it or not. Your choice 
If others worked to obtain a given weapon, for me there is a sufficient argument not to make it available to the rest.
My friend,
I started playing this expansion during mid Season 3…
So with your logic I should blame myself because I started to play late ? This isn’t even about that. This is about Blizzard making a meme season to work on other stuff such as Plunderstorm/Panda Remix and the new expansion.
Fine, I get it. More options to playerbase more subscription money. Cool. But now that they don’t care about S4 anyway, just let it be purchasable… Both axe and evoker lego.
Oh and, ofc evokers ain’t gonna be left behind coz they have dispell, BL, and other cool utilities. Same story with a Ret and DK, both have CR in it’s simplest explanation.
A Warrior ? Well, good luck if you don’t have it !
If you still don’t get where I’m coming from, the user named “Dejarous” explained it to you very well in couple of sentences up this thread.
But you don’t have to blame yourself for only starting the game in season 3! In no case! However, you cannot expect the game to give you everything that people have worked for in previous seasons, because the world does not revolve around you. If you get rid of the mentality that you have to have everything everyone else has, you will be healthier. Can’t find the group? Then create your own.
I skipped the previous season and now, wanting to play without any pressure, I went towards DPS and I can’t find a group for a normal raid, because everywhere they require gear 500+, where I don’t have one, because I can’t even upgrade it to that without playing normal raids. Am I making a fuss of this? NO. I’m playing LFR. I’m trying to get Shadowlands mounts. I play Remix. No pressure, since this season is already a filler for the expansion.
I mean, it drops on the 13th Fyrakk kill doesn’t it? Do you have none so far?

This is stupid. S4 released 7 weeks ago and 11 weeks until the next expansion. If we take this at the very best interpretation and say 3rd Awakened Fyrrak kill, that would mean that you get the axe on week 9 and have 9 weeks to enjoy it. The mind numbing grind will be equal to the total time you will be playing with it, and that is if we exclude the pre-patch event which will most likely be 2-3 weeks long.
I mean yeah I guess it’s better than 15 HC kills (15 weeks) but still. This item and the evoker lego should have been added to the vendor.

Brother I guess you are not understanding my POV here.
I want to push keys. 15+s. But with this current situation I can’t. I can hardly do more than 13+s. My damage output won’t be enough without the legendary, and even if I form the group and everyone else is okay with it, I will just be wasting other 4 people’s time and that’s not who I am. Time is precious for me and I respect anyone else’s time too.
This has nothing to do with world revolving around anyone. 
I create my own group as a Warrior ofc. But after a certain point you need the item unfortunately. This is not about the mentality of having what anyone else has either xD
This is pure nonsense Blizzard is doing because they launched an item, and if you don’t have it you’re limited. It does not matter if you’re the best player.
Here’s a little tip about S4. It’s literally a meme season! Or that’s what it feels like at least. If all Blizz employees/devs forsake the current retail S4, and don’t give single flying bird about it, then it won’t break the game if they put the Q item on the vendor?! We’d all still be working towards it and mind you, being time gated about acquiring an item is not hard work. It’s pure nonsense or at least it lost it’s meaning in S4 atm. In my opinion at least.
Think about it, you gonna push a key. You got a player who has good gear
The item literally limits the high end content you can do and that’s it. With your ideology I should just stop playing till new expansion comes out 
I have 8 Kills on HC, still no luck.
I would argue that it is fact a legendary. It has questline tied to it, it’s hard to get, it’s by far the BiS for those that can use it and (idk about the other 2 classes but) on paladins it’s the second highest dps source and is usually 7-9% of from their divine storm (absolutely highest dps source in M+). So yeah that is definitely a legendary item.
The problem is that WoW has turned into a seasonal game, and these items no longer fit the current model. To be more precise, this is the model of Thunderfurry , low drop chance + somewhat lengthy questline + gold sink. The difference is that Thunderfurry was released from the first raid (if we translate this to modern WoW, this would mean S1), and was viable throughout the expansion (some even used it in BT in TBC). Fyr’alath was released in the 3rd season and had something like 3 months of viability in that season alone. It’s life span was extended due to the upgrade item which gives it roughly 4-5 months more of viability. And that is if you started farming it from the very beginning.
Oh also
You should be killing all the bosses on HC because they may drop lesser embers. I usually get around 5-7 per week wich is ~3-4% bonus to the drop chanse.

Is that because of your bad memory or the difference in circumstances over the seasons?

I think this is a showcase of the clownshow that are fated seasons. I am playing my paladin more than my warlock because there is nothing new to do this season on my main.

Yes sir I always kill for the Lesser Embers. So the proper maximizing chances looks like this (Correct me if I’m wrong)
Kill Fyrakk on LFR, Kill Fyrakk on Normal, then full Clear HC.
My stupid as thought clearing the raid full on HC would be enough.
Welp, GG WP
For almost every class who can wield it. I have seen so far
Blood DK (Top 3 ability on overall DMG)
Retri Pally (Top 2 ability on overall DMG)
Unholy DK (Top 3 Ability on overall DMG)
Warrior(Top 3 Ability on overall DMG)
So, as an Arms Warrior, I’m missing around, what ? 30m+ DMG ?
There we go…
i’m not sure how that works exactly. Some say that the overall BLP turns off after the 1 kill on any difficulty, others say that it remains and doing all difficulties gives you more chances. I only do HCs each week, and frankly I am considering just giving up on the whole thing as my paldin is close to BiS (other than the axe, actually have the bullion items from HC just waiting for the bullions for ilvl upgrades).
It’s madam but sure XD.

Oh my bad ma’m xD
Yeah I’m in the same spot tbh. Full BiS apart from Axe… SMH
And apparently if you do it how I listed, (mind you apparently being the operative word here) it increases the chances even tho they are small. Kinda min max for it to drop. So next cycle imma give it a shot as well…
Overall, they just released the news that TWW is going live in 2 months… JUST MAKE IT PURCHSABLE !
