How to make the 3rd raid difficulty work

[Magic-Mal]

.

What they will complain about is their gear being useless when the patch comes out. Why put an ilvl that high on the gear that's meant to be glamour? Useless.

SE has only ever tried putting titles in a super hard mode. They never tried putting a bunch of different things in as rewards. They've never tried making a new hard mode that rewarded vanity only things like mounts, minions, furniture, glamour etc(Oh wait! They did. PotD 101-200 and it was successful because people do it).

I don't see how that is crazy in anyway. What is so cool about having gear that you worked soooo hard for that will be trash next patch? Thats what raiders are always complaining about. "My gear is made useless next tier". Okay, solution? Make it stuff that will last forever.

One of the problems Gordias had was the retention rate. People were quitting because they think "Why am I doing all this work, trying so hard.. for 10 ilvls that will be made pointless next tier? I quit. Not worth my time."

When you think about it +10ilvl rewards for super hard raids already failed with Gordias. It wasn't worth many peoples' time. And the later it got into the tier, the less amount of people who wanted to do it there were because "Why do so much work when NM Midas will drop gear stronger than this? I'll wait for nerfs" Key word there. That's why Creator is successful. It's more worth 10ilvls.

"Why do so much work when NM Midas will drop gear stronger than this? I'll wait for nerfs"

Wouldn't be able to say that with a mount, title, minion, furniture, music, glamour, or hairstyle. Because they have unlimited value whereas some i280 piece has limited value.

You keep the ilvl sync on super hard content that rewards i280 gear and it's value decreases when new stuff comes out.

You keep the ilvl sync on super hard content that rewards special vanity items and its value increases when new stuff comes out.
