But one big customization is much better than 3 small ones.Eykarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862145416831987811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-42206511059897001742010-11-15T01:48:34.684-08:002010-11-15T01:48:34.684-08:00There are many differences.

First, reforging is much cheaper then regemming.<br /><br />Then, reforging is easier to do and can be done without interacting with other players. You visit the NPC which can reforge all your pieces. Regemming requires you to find a player to craft each and every gem for you or you have to buy them in the AH, if they are available. Reforging can be done one piece at a time, regemming is harder as you have to find a player for every new gem.<br /><br />And last you are exaggeregating the "hit caps, expertise caps, and haste soft-caps" issue. Let's not care about the top guilds as they will have no problems with regemming. Let's look at the other guilds. And for them the haste soft-cap doesn't exist as they will not have enough haste on their gear.<br /><br />And having to care about hit and expertise is easier if you don't have to also care about gem color.<br /><br />Plus reforging adds a clear value to the player. Reforging allows you to adjust mage gear to the needs of a warlock, or vice versa. Gemming on the other hand is just a boring time and gold sink without a real purpose. Sure, you can and will use reforging to get rid of excess hit. But mostly it can be used to convert these crit pants into crit/haste pants for one class and the haste gloves into haste/crit gloves for the other class.<br /><br />They should remove the current boring stat gems altogether and and replace them with interesting stuff.

In most cases it's not adjusting to caps or making anything close to a meaningful decision, but is instead maybe a gem here and there for a cap and then stack the one best stat, at a very high cost. Reforging adds tradeoffs, actual tradeoffs, not 'opportunity cost' trades which for the average person just aren't real or meaningful.<br /><br />The meta gem I think just combines the worst of both; the potentially excessive complexity of balancing caps when reforging with the expensive changing of gems.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.com
