In other games I keep my currencies all the time and still have enough stuff to do in a season due to other gameplay systems. That’s really no excuse here.
Those gear points are capped behind flightstones and whelpling crests, with the later one BEING CAP GATED again…
Hence I said in the CM post about Crests in S4:
All Blizzard has to do is uncap the Whelplings Crests so people can reach the maximum of the “soft cap” in heroic dungeons and LFR raids easier. Then the entire system just works fine.
But with the Crests being capped, the “gearing up” process is so artificially slowed down that it becomes very demotivating.
The balancing of gear, dungeon difficulty and the gear expectations changed.
Just because people from last season +20 range don’t experience it this season doesn’t make the issue “non-existent”.
Tell that to the people not joining my key and if immediately leaving again for whatever reason.
And if that is Blizzards intention and they don’t uncap the Whelpling crests… I tell you I don’t see myself engaging with endgame content AT ALL in TWW. Especially with the best transmogs for me in the upcoming expansion being tied to Open World activities entirely.
Why even bother when again nothing is in the Raid for me? Why bother when the road to play Mythic+ became so stressful and grindy that I am not even motivated to try?
That’s only going to hurt the numbers for those activities. By discouraging players from playing.
I am doing this since 2 years already. And now I am not even motivated to play 1 main…
