Crafted gear and how it can be upgrade to 590 invalidate a lot of gear progression and it's kind of a problem in a way. (If you care about that of course)Even if they didn't, the current crafted gear is the same ilvl, even if it's not as good.
And crafted gear is incredibly cheap this time around. I remember during ShB it was a bit pricey? Not to mention it's even cheaper than buying a full set of crafted gear normally because of the Rain Shop and the certificates. Instead of buying a full set of gear you just buy whatever gives the most certificates for the amount of gold you spend and you turn those items in, then rebuy the augmented classical stuff for it.
I don't really know where they were going with that.
its definitely a timegate but it's both positive and negative. MMO players are OCD grinders if the cap was 1800 then people would feel they NEEDED to get 1800 per week to "keep up". So yes it does restrict you in terms of how fast you can gear classes but it also says "you're done for the week go do some other fun stuff". I do dislike the odd numbers which means sometimes you can skip a week without being able to afford something, they should iron out these mathematical inconsistencies.
Upgrading crafted gear comes in the odd number patches which are generally catch up patches. We will get new crafted in 6.2 then the ability to upgrade it in 6.3, along with an easier way to upgrade the tome gear, 24 man raid which has gear at the base tome/ upgraded crafted gear, so its not really an issue.
I wish they removed it now since the weekly cap on Savage loot is gone.
Yeah?
You need to do Savage for BiS.
Apparently it's super duper hard too because today I've spent the entire day trying to farm to gear alts and I've had to go through 8 '' farm '' groups to even get a single P1S kill...
I don't even want to think about P4S and how many I went through there...
It got unlocked so all the bad players are looking for easy quick kills.I wish they removed it now since the weekly cap on Savage loot is gone.

I used to care about it.
I started in ShB and I started maybe half way through it? I wanted to sort of gear up naturally through my weekly tome limit and through the regular tomestone gear which isn't as good but a lot of people got on my case about not just buying crafted gear(which was at the time super expensive).
Doesn't really bother me any more cause the novelty has worn off but still...
Not gonna lie I do find the complete non-chalance to be quite infuriating.
I don't like having my time wasted repeatedly and then have people be all '' uwu '' about it, I've seen so many PF descriptions too with '' help me kill so I can start farm ''...
It really can make me hate people at times when I have long streaks of this.
I wish we had another requirement like '' need to have killed the boss X amount of times ''.
I still think there would be problems but it'd probably cut down A LOT on the frustration.

Current crafted is the same ilvl as regular radiant. However, that's as far as it goes. Radiant can be upgraded to 600. Savage raiders get dibs on the upgrade items while we wait on the next alliance raid coin drops
They also get the Asphodelos coffers which are automatically 600.
Crafted is always at least 10 ilvl behind the max possible gain from Savage raiding.
Im still trying to figure out why is poetics still capped at 2,000 after 4 xpacs. it should be at like 20,000 minimum at this point.
So you never have enough if they happen to add something you need/want. That way you are forced to do roulettes, or whatever content you prefer, to get those.
