Suggestion: Set Bonuses or special effects

We use to have nice things like that but, according to SE, the community would force people to have said set and if they dont have it they would shun them away. Basically a PF would be "have X set or dont join".

For me i would love to see them back with nice special bonus but so much time have pass that the idea feels so far away or may never come.

As someone who played WoW for a very long time, I can tell you that this is very true. It makes it difficult to get in to raiding if you lack set gear at any point after the first few weeks of the expansion because so many will turn you away if you don't have it.

While set gear looks fun on paper in practise it can be a nightmare to balance. In WoW some classes/specs were very underpowered unless they had certain set bonuses while others were fine without them but then became op with them. Then there were those who saw very little difference in their performance after getting set gear and then felt crappy as it was meaningless to them. It was very demoralising to see set gear carry some players and completely ***k others. I don't want to go through that again.
