3.2 generally seems fine with me... Blizz keep the kindergarden idea that if something is too hard for every more or less serious/skilled raider, it must be nerfed so it can be completed by rolling your forehead over the keyboard...
I can live with that.. My guild ego tried and failed several times at mimiron until the nerf, which made him a weakling bad enough for us to succeed (we're talking 10 man raids here, yes i know we suck burn us at the stake and call us heathens.)
I can also live with blackened dragonfish or whatever 40agi/40stam cost now is reduced to 1 fish per meal. Just like the 40str/40stam its actually quite fair.. Generally i can live with all the new things to come with 3.2, and i thought it would be a great new patch! Iiiiiif not for the new EoC (emblem of conquest) thingy...
In TBC (god i hate Outlands) You could buy an account roll rogue or hunter like all other noobs (not all rogues or hunters are noobs my hunter for instance is decent but its not a noob.) Ding 70 make some heroics and for marks from SP hc (which was the old UK hc,) buy weapons with 2-3 dps less than the brave guys new weapons from Illidan in BT... Thats not fair to the raiders... And it was the same deal when ZA came out...
Instead of players earning Badge of Justice to buy gear good enough to raid Kara, and from there start the more serious raiding, Blizz decided that gearboosting everyone was a better idea and then urinate the raiders up n down there back..
In WotLK however, Blizz made the clever move with 2 diferent emblems. And when Ulduar came, blizz gave us EoC, to make sure that not every suck up could just go and get great gear! Cause obviously you have learned that from the TBC.. 12 year olds who specc fury and wield 1x 2 hander don't deserve the epixx...
Then ofc.. With Ulduar came Emalon in VoA a harder encounter. But the BM hunter with 800 dps still had the chance to get lucky, and roll highest and win the T8,5 pants/gloves... That realy pissed many a player off, but many others was indifferent.. Now with every hc instance or just raid giving EoC you have pissed ME off! Where is the value of having the second best tier in the game, when you offer it to everyone? With 3.2 we'll have a bunch of very happy 12 year old rogues and hunters and deffinetly DK's too (cause 50% of all noobs rerolled DKs,) And alot of pissed of raiders and raiding noobs like meself,for giving a #@!% about our work and many wasted nights.. Thanks for that......
Gains with EoC: Everyone have an easier way to get proper gear, and you'll faster progress cause you're stats are buffed.
Loosers: All those who spend alot of DKP from many a night to finnaly kill the bosses of Ulduar...Why go Ulduar 10 when UK hc gives T8,5?
Ps: Don't give me the old song about i can quit the game if i don't like it.. Im a sad person with nothing better to do than wow. So don't encourage me to spend more time with myself than i allready do...but could't find them so i made a new one...
