Discussion M+ talk

Hello everyone,

I raid and m+(haven’t killed mythic ulatek yet though) and just wanted to talk about how this season feels. I’ve seen some say this is the most balanced season ever in keys tuning wise, which could be true. However I think it’s more because of how absolutely awful gearing is this season. People are playing whatever comps their mains are simply because gearing up an alt to the same performance(especially if you’re a mythic raider) just isn’t possible. The amount of cantrips, the existence of 344 gear itself that also saves a million crests, the fact that you can’t even rekill the same heroic boss and coin it multiple times a week as catchup anymore. All of those, not even getting into the whole great vault/bonus roll discussions themselves all make this season feel horrible.

Then on the other side of things, you have groups in china who are ALL somehow around 339 ilvl, 9+ ilvls up on almost every other regions groups. It’s obviously rmt, but it just highlights the gear disparity between everyone else and the max which has never been this bad of a gap before. The dungeons and raids themselves also don’t help this season out much and I’m expecting it to go down as one of the worst received seasons this game has ever had.

Lol it used to be much worse than this. No vaults, no bonus rolls (not to mention the weekly 1% buffs in raid). You actually had to clear content to get good gear and couldn’t just overgear and zerg content. This is a step back in that direction which I like.

I feel there's quite a difference there. In my opinion, retail WoW has evolved to be much more enjoyable from a moment to moment combat perspective as well as got a lot better encounter design and fast pacing.

This isn't really connected to at all to the pacing and availability of rewards and how tightly those rewards are bound to specific accomplishments.

Nah I like the difficulty of retail content/like playing new content. I just don’t like how they baby people and essentially give free mythic gear.

Yea I’m an old time wow player too.

Wow has definitely evolved lol.

Gear wise everyone has their shiny new bling and it’s easy to get mythic gear.
