Q u o t e:
Im very upset how emalon can be pugged now in 10 and 25 very easily now , the intensity of the fight needs to go back to the previous version
Plus you can get your gloves and pants with a 10minute raid, while other players must spend hours and hours wiping on the bosses before the TIER bosses plus learn them
ive seen many players with 8.5 pants and gloves and most their items are blues
Archavon was fine since Naxx was easy mode but now Emalon is easy mode and Ulduar ( even with some nerfs) is still fairly hard
Q u o t e:
Thanks for the response Bornak , This would be my very first blue response!
Anywho , i understand that Archavon is the "reward" for winning Wg but players can get tier 8 / 8.5 gloves and legs on one kill
We had a priest in the raid and BOTH gloves and pants dropped for 25man , and she got them both . It took us less then 10 minutes to do that vs the hours and hours of glass chewing to get to that tier gear dropping !
Had it been a guild run , our tier gear sells for 60-100 dkp and that equals 60-100 boss kills
So you got guilds spending tons and tons of hours of dkp on the item they felt they earned , and random players are getting them for free in pugs
Let alone the players who Pvp ( not me to much) who spend hours and hours working on thier rating just so they CAN buy that pvp gear , and players can get that in seconds. It just doesnt seem fair to me
Q u o t e:
What's the justification for allowing high-tier items to be puggable given the current difficultity of Uldaur? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of progressing for better gear?
Q u o t e:
The problem, Bornakk, is that people who were top dogs (at least in their own minds) pre-wrath just can't let go of the outdated notion that gear is the one and only measuring stick for how "good" or how "progressed" you are at the game. That's why you see the same people who worry so much about the degree of accessibility of epic gear to the general player base also come out swinging about how much they hate hard modes. Their primary motivation is to make the acquisition of gear have a throttle the size of the eye of a needle, but not necessarily to have anything challenging on the other side. It's enough that the number of people who can achieve equal or better status regardless of skill is controlled to an absolute minimum--a typical aristocrat syndrome.
The argument from these people isn't really that it's possible people who "obviously" aren't as good or haven't put in as much time and energy CAN get loot. It's that someone like that DID get loot and they didn't because they chose to participate in some draconian DKP system that made them work ten times harder than they really needed to for something that doesn't even have status attached to it anymore. This is nothing more than petty jealousy over an RNG outcome, and the irony is savoury and delicious.
