On the contrary - I am defending a carrot. If i get best gear from start, and all loot from start I get bored. I need carrot.
And this coming from someone, who hates RNG like “random mount drops in paragons, isles etc” with passion. You cannot find other poster on forums here hating RNG as much as I do, but … MMORPG type of game needs carrots. You can get ilevels and perform, and RNG in gear simply helps you to get more power, but does not exclude you from experiencing content.
I am player with 448 equipped ilevel (can get 450 with trinkets, but those trinkets suck outside raid trash) and it has taken me whole 8.2 to get that gear to have proper stats, sockets and 455 on places. It has been nice to get a reward from ‘farm’ every now and then. I need that carrot to bother to go kill the boss umpteenth time. Friends are nice reason to log in, but I also need something to keep me focused on a character - and gear is good way doing it.
In short : MMORPG is type of game that needs carrots. You cannot remove them or players become bored.
Isn’t Shadowlands going to help with this? I swear they stated that at the very least, you can pick the gear you want from the end of a dungeon or something like that out of a list.
I do ponder if CoC allows us to /slap one another in duel mode or will we both get forum vacation for long time. Hahahahaha !
I have used it here on forums, but I promise it was in context of trolling definition (by purpose causing havoc) and COC, but other than this I agree. Different opinion is often seen something scary. And you’d think forums are place for discussion. Sometimes you agree, sometimes you do not.
I do like concept of haste and mastery, but they seem to be less interesting in reality.
I still wonder what people mean by gear dropping with “random stats”. Are you talking about WQ drops or what? Gear doesn’t have random stats. Go look into your adventure guide, browse dungeon and raid drops. If that piece of gear drops it has those stats which are in adventure guide.
What are you even talking about? I know what my 2 bis stats are. I find where that piece drops and simply farm it. What is wrong with it?
Then people should talk about random drops, not about random stats. Nothing like random stats exists. Weekly chest loottable contains items which can drop in any mythic+ but these are concrete items with concrete stats, not with random stats.
Or make Professions part of the end game. You want Cloth you make max level gear and then go do PvP and PvE and what drops are item shards. Haste shard increases haste. Armor shard increases armor. You know, let us choose what we want to put in our armor by ourselves. Ever heard about RPGs? Also there is way too much dps coming from gear. Weapons should be giving atleast 80% dps for both melee and casters. Tokens/shards/honor points/ are better than rng crap. Game needs more player agency and customization. Its still trying ot be MMORPG but its just MMOSOLOCASINO now.
