The amount of item levels in this patch is too high

Accessibility is VERY OFTEN confused with player motivation. Content should be accessible, but players lacking the commitment to make use of the content that is available also need to understand that they are making an active choice of missing out.

Sure, but for a lot of activities or elements of the game that accessibility ‘threshold’ has to be low enough to assure the % of ‘active users’ of that activity is high enough to make it worth developing that content in the first place.

Hence LFR being a thing. Without it, raiding might not even exist in WoW today (or at best be limited to maybe 1 raid per expansion).

@Kieftilt-twisting-nether

There has been way too much “I can only play 3 hours per week, but I am entitled to experiencing everything” lately, which is an absolutely ludicrous view of the game. If people know that they have limited playtime and still choose to play a game that, by design, requires time commitment then how can you also expect to be served everything on a silver platter?

I agree actually.
I’m not a casual player in my ‘time commitment’. I’m a casual player in the type of content I enjoy and yes, I agree that in an mmorpg ‘time spent’ is an important commodity and should be rewarded.

Tbh i don’t mind stat squishes, but i do mind when they fudge it up and we’re stuck being weaker versus content that we had done.

Agreed.

they should do much smaller ilvl ranges then they wouldn’t have to do this brain dead squishes all the time

SL normal raid is ilvl 200 and max level item available is 233 so it’s 33 item level difference
