I really don’t like doing the assaults, just to get conduits, I hate the conduit system altogether but I wish you could just purchase all of them from simply spending honor / conq. I know you can get some from the pvp vender but could do with a lot more.
It really is just pointless putting all these Grindy Systems in. They say it’s so we have options, but all the majority of the play base does is going straight to the Icy Veins guide and see what the BiS Covenant/Soulbind/Conduit/Legendary/Talents are anyway. All it becomes is a grind for the sake of being a grind.
I came back midway through Season 2, and my friend said “Come run Torghast with me, once a week you can get these Conduit Upgrades”. I was like “Meh, I got KSM, I don’t need to upgrade my toon anymore and beside I absolutely hate Torghast”. Then the rift farming started and he was like “Come farm these rifts with me” and I was like “Meh, I just want to do WQ’s and farm a bit of transmog, I don’t feel like a farm”.
Eventually I did the farm and got the upgrades, and well, I noticed the improvement, but I don’t understand why I needed to do it? Why couldn’t I have just been that powerful to begin with?
The game doesn’t need to be that complicated. I just want to log in, maybe run a few keys, go and do some WQ’s and then work through some story content or achievement. I don’t want to spend time grinding some pointless currency to make some random item more powerful.
If Blizz wants to add items and systems to make our characters more powerful, then they should be sourced from the Content the player wants to be playing. That is, the I like to M+, therefore the best M+ Conduits and Upgrade items, should come from me doing M+. Going to a Raid or PVP or a long Currency farm (like Rifts), should not improve my M+ power in anyway.
I completely agree. I just want to PvP, but have to grind all these systems just to be stronger, which should be done by PvP anyway like it was expansions ago. This is majorly alt unfriendly, which is why I cba leveling more alts, sadly. I used to be an altaholic, but the thought of many many more grinds and Torg runs kills me inside.
Me and a friend unsubbed, it’s too much to deal with and too frustrating.
Don’t get me wrong, I love World Content as well. I even like Grindy world content to a reasonable degree. I would just rather they be separated and the Grindy world content rewards me something I can keep and treasure forever, rather than something that will be irrelevant when the next patch arrives.
More systems / design stuff coming up in 9.2… I got a slight shock when I scrolled through the preview post of the stuff on MMOchamp. they really aint listening…
