Why obtaining weekly raid gear feels bad, and a possible fix.

[Wasselin]

We already have a generic token, it's called tomestones. I think they make the raid tokens to help incentive the different fights.

I do think they could somehow change the rolling system though. This would probably just be confusing but it would be nice to have a first choice roll. For example, if I win both a roll for a chest piece and a leg piece, let me decide I want the chestpiece. That would make rolling more efficient.

do you know why it mostly feel bad? it's because in 7.4 all your gear will be bad no matter what happen getting gear unless you are LVL is well pretty much useless because again and again you have to repeat the steps. honestly what they really need to do is to release token that just allow you to upgrade your armor you desire to current tiers so you get the stats you want instead.

Tbf, they could just scrap the gear completely, make all the slots cosmetic only and do standardized ilvls for every content bracket.

Why bother? There’s no open world, no PvP, downscaling everywhere, there are no builds, no different playstyles, no exciting gear pieces like trinkets in WoW.

Exciting trinkets in wow ? Go to any wow forum and people number one complain is about trinkets

If their worry is that savage would die right away if it was farmable then they could just put a low drop rate thing on each floor that when you combine all 4 you get a funny mount or something.

I wish we had a Criterion dungeon like expert that dropped tome gear. Weekly lockout or something it's fine, but just more alternative ways to get gear. Even if it's with challenging dungeons or whatever.

Yooo hard agree
the cool stuff they belts they removed
why?
Who knows

I disagree. Gear still matters. Maybe not to the extent you would like it to, but it does.
You ever done new content week one and get your absolute ass kicked, and then done the same content a month or so later when everyone's gotten fully geared and it becomes almost totally trivial? Yeah, gear matters.

They could do something like giving gear unique stats that change gameplay in some way, but that just creates an added balancing challenge. I'm not sure what you really want here.

You can do week 1 with crafted gear though, beyond week 1 you can still do it with just crafted and pentamelds

I'd prefer if we didn't have to deal with content being completely trivialised by gear within a few weeks of release. This is another argument for removing gear for me.

the gear is there to make it easier to clear the raid over time.

no one will do the raids if there is no reward.
