I love this game.<br />The bottom line is: I've been playing since launch and this expansion was the least fun I've had so far. My raid leader didn't push anyone to spend 3 hours doing dailies, it was ME that felt like I wasn't doing as much as I could if I didn't get them done. I hated every second of that feeling. Now since ToT got released I spend less and less time in the game (ie. just raiding with my 10man). Is that where Blizzard wanted me to be? By this time I'd have 3-4 alts max leveled by now.

Within that framework, their idea worked quite well.<br /><br />Unfortunately, it simply wound up being mandatory for raiders to do, as you mentioned. And it was worse than that since raiders had to do all of them constantly since they did not know what items would drop during raids.

Justice can provide slightly lower gear to fill slots. Valor can go back to being raid only (with maybe a small amount from LFR, to give you a bit of a head start).<br /><br />What you then need to do is adjust all those systems so it take around the same amount of time to gear to the max they can provide. With the luck element in LFR and dungeons, Reputation would provide an excellent alternative if you grind some to fill slots. Drops<br /><br />Let players choose how they want to gear, but limit raid gear to raiding (since that is what you use it for anyway).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-16317912171438073132013-06-04T22:14:35.658-07:002013-06-04T22:14:35.658-07:00I don't know about making rep gear equivalent ...I don't know about making rep gear equivalent to 5 mans, unless you made revered obtainable by questing (which for Klaxxi, was). It takes forever too et rep. Chain running dungeons in LFD for like a day or two was sufficient to get most of my 463s, including on my DPS. Perhaps splitting the difference , as Coreus suggests with 476 would have been better.Talarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684944568000522986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-58843785135047367682013-06-04T18:20:41.337-07:002013-06-04T18:20:41.337-07:00-applause-

No trinkets might have also been a wise decision. The absolutely <i>massive</i> item level difference between 463 5-man gear and 489/496 raid gear-- which in this case included rep gear-- made reputation gear [especially trinkets] way too good for raiders to be in any way optional.Coreushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258450322199352185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-4050732593300713062013-06-04T13:25:35.020-07:002013-06-04T13:25:35.020-07:00It was a strange decision to tie them together.

"...I have to agree about the issue with Valor. "Hiding" gear behind a reputation wall is one thing, but adding an additional "barrier" of using Valor to purchase said gear was just excessive and felt penalizing. The gear should be the reward for completing the rep grind, not just a "first step" to earning the right to purchase it by other means. Kind of reminds me of "Personal Seat Licenses" that NFL teams use to sell season tickets. "Pay us THEN you can pay us again to buy the actual ticket." :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-47797051559865159132013-06-04T13:13:09.258-07:002013-06-04T13:13:09.258-07:00#2 is the biggest difference between Wrath and Mis...#2 is the biggest difference between Wrath and Mists.
