Well very simple, like, imagine not doing anything in the game. You managed to get your ilvl up to roughly 385, only emmisery’s aren’t giving you upgrades and neither are worldquests and some weeklys giving 400 hardly ever pop up. How do you keep these people playing and paying?
MOVE THE GOALPOST UP A BIT
KEEP HAVING THEM CHASE THAT ARBITRARY NUMBER WE MAKE OBSOLETE WITH THE SYSTEM THAT’S SUPPOSED TO KEEP THEM CHASING IT
These casual vultures (I can say it I’m a casual myself) would’ve have Mythic receive the same treatment, don’t be suprised if they come up with a 5th difficulty beyond Mythic anytime soon just so they can give Mythic to casuals while also still having something for hardcore people
Something that isn’t hard to reach, main got to average ilvl 375 last patch and the higest key I did in that season was a +4 and I did maybe like the raid just once on normal and didn’t even complete it?
The new catchup is the gearing system and it allows you to reach higher then heroic raid ilvl without even stepping foot (which is also the reason I didn’t do higher then a +4 key, why bother m+? why bother raiding? I can just wait for emmisery’s)
