Weekly chest for open world play 😎

Community General Discussion

Considering how people whine moan and cry already about WQ rewards i doubt there is any way that people would not do the same about open world reward chest.

Personally i would be ok with reward box for open world content as it is my favorite type of content i dislike both raids and dungeons unless i can go there in legacy mode.

For the second raid tier onward, it would be a problem.

  1. it’s never been ‘handing out free gear’. People actually played for it.
  2. What you say is only true for those petty, jealous types or for elitists. I don’t think the game should cater to either of those two groups tbh.

Yes… that is indeed the problem… so… well… not thought of all problems with this solutions, but lets try anyway.
WQ will be dropped to lfr ilvl… this new chest… will be normal raid level… then… we would have changed things so that people who never raided but is in normal raid gear is really really active in the game. and peoiple who never raided but is in lfr gear only did world quests… could that work? :slight_smile:

If the people who consider WQ gear important it is an acceptable decision, I’m fine with that.

Why? Because ‘filthy casuals’ can’t play with ‘your toys’? :upside_down_face:
Sorry if I’m assuming the wrong thing, but this is what it sounds like to me.

I suggest you read my philosophy on gear acquisition a few comments further up.

51

Will do.

52

I thought it was the exp of killing bosses not the gear ilvl…

Welfare epics was in TBC and didn’t hurt raiding the raids killed most guilds by themselves tho :stuck_out_tongue:

53

It helped starting the invalidation of previous raid tiers. A trend that I still hate to this day.

54

Is this your philosophy you spoke of?
If it is; I just fundamentally disagree. I definitely think that, especially in an mmorpg, time is a valuable commodity and should definitely count for something.

55

For something yeah. Just not gear IMO. Mounts, toys, transmog etc.

56

AH so you did the content you want everyone to have to do the content to get back into the gear ilvl of what ever current raid there is got ya.

Good job Blizzard has seen gear catch up as a must have for lapsed players :stuck_out_tongue:

Other than for fun or alt runs I don’t remember any guilds I have been in go backwards to old raids when new ones where out even with new members they would just tag along in the newest raid… they wouldn’t force them to do Nax while ICC was current lol That’s just stupid and a waste of time.

57

For gear too.
Someone grinding for a month deserves just as much, if not more, as someone who steps into a raid for 1 evening per week. Imo, ofc. But like I said; we fundamentally disagree on this.

Don’t get me wrong though; ofc stuff of that level shouldn’t be daily attainable through WQs only. But for longer grinds; sure.

58

Indeed :+1:

59

And I remember that during Firelands we still farmed BOT for the new and less geared members of the guild. 1 day Firelands normal progress, 1 day BOT normal/heroic. It also helped that raids did not have 4 difficulties.

60

But why not just take them along into the new raid? You would get members geared up faster and more helpful… as your not taking ppl in prev raid teir vs current geared ppl… if you did then they wouldn’t been told to run the old raid first :wink:

61

Because in Cata flex raids did not exist.

Also it is hard to take 5 new players when you raid with 11-13 people.

62

Must just be my exp then as used to being top DPS by a long way enough to carry slackers in 25man’s :stuck_out_tongue:

Maybe this is why I don’t raid anymore lol
