And, even if we do get "the best" gear, then what? What is the reward for having best-in-slot and putting out the most damage? Where is the incentive?


So, why do YOU raid?
What would you do with that tomestone gear? You do it because it is something to do. Otherwise what else is there but leveling. What is the point of leveling and powering up at all? This is a bigger question with many different answers. But I come from a time where the ONLY thing to do was raid or craft. So I have always viewed the road to raids as simply an arduous means to an end. I can't stand leveling, I abhor it but I do it to raid. Others love nothing but leveling.

There is also the issue in this game specifically that rewards do not match the difficulty of these raids, though that has been toned down this patch. A big issue is that raid rewards get outdated very quickly.

Then you have those raiders who admonish the other raiders for only raiding for treasure and not the challenge itself. I raid for a mix of both but if the reward was not there I would not raid at all, that's simply me.

I chose to stop raiding until they returned the difficulty to ARR raids which they have and I am having fun PUGing stuff while my old group reforms, but it will all be erased and reset come 4.0 and we all start over again.
