that is not always the case and depends on classes… I still remember players desperately running after a weapon named getiku or something like that… (I think it was from kings rest???
if I had gotten Ineffable Truth II on my 475 G3T-00T (I got that one today, and IT II is already gone) I would probably prefer that one over Il’gynoth’s eyestalk also 475
It’s not an excuse. He is the game director therefore he is fully 100% responsible for the way the game is designed. And by the way he is not even the game director, let me correct you on that, he is the lead designer.
Great Vault (weekly chest) will contain ilvl 226 loot which equals to Mythic raid (8 out of 10 bosses of it). And you only need a +14, not 15. And you can get multiple choices for the week instead of one shot. It’s better in literally every way over BFA system.
The part that DOES get a nerf is farming dungeons for the end-of-dungeon chest. This was very over-rewarding for a long time and it’s about time they nerf this. M+ dungeons can be spammed without any end (unlike even plain mythic 0 which has a WEEKLY lockout!). They’re hellishly abused for boosting and make raiding unrewarding, as 465 is above heroic and very, VERY few people do mythic (at least past the first three). Since there is no tier sets the only reason to go raiding were bunch of trinkets and BiS azerite pieces. 4 items in total, including the situational PVP-oriented trink from Drest. I never experienced a raid loot table this unappealing. That’s because mythic + throws heaps of loot at me. Loot that is better than HC Nya.
