Nantes Gamewatch interview summary

[Whocareswhatmynameis]

I hope esoteric gear is below the hard mode i level for alexander raids. You should not be able to log in one hour a day and be as people who plug 12 hour progression sessions to plow through alexander hard modes. People who just play to grind tome gear do not need the higher item level since they technically do not need it. Allow Esoteric gear to let you be of the gear item level required to do the first 25% of the initial raids in alexander but after that you need a few hard mode pieces in order to be able to overcome the gear gap in later raids.

It will be one step below, and the upgrade items prob be in alex savage. So basically in heavensward, raiders get the same gear as their LFR counterparts on both alexander and esoterics. The only difference is that raiders will get the augmented versions that they can dye different colors. I know pretty exciting huh? Doesn't that just make you want to go out there and setup a static and raid? Unfortunately for me it does not.

EDIT: I have a feeling the weapons might be locked away in the harder version, so that may be something but we won't find out for another 5-7 weeks or so. Just gotta wait and see i think.
