The whole thing is region-wide so any US/SA/OCE servers. Only first 50. It's kind of retarded.

So, with the changes to how you purchase Azerite Gear, will I be able to grind out the pieces of will I still be time-gated? Or, will they just make it so slow to grind them out via the scrapper that it's not even worth it? This change could potentially see me return, assuming I can just grind out my Azerite Gear.

Won't be able to grind it out. Can only scrap epic quality azerite gear, which is still only available from relatively few sources or get it from your weekly cache. Have to wait and see exactly how much we will get from those 2 sources but it seems like it will only be slightly better than what we have now.

As it stands now it doesn't seem possible to grind it out in any fashion, even if the warfront scenario is up for your faction. There are not enough sources of Azerite gear, even if you create a group of all the same armor type and everyone traded you all the drops. You can only get it from M0, Raids and the occasional emissary/quest/warfront and even then it's still subject to personal loot and RNG.

I completely missed that it had to be epic azerite and not just epic.

I was very wrong and will leave my post unedited to show my shame.

Fucking retarded. Remember when we could just grind at our own pace in MMOs? If it were still that way, i'd still be playing. It literally feels like I have daily chores to do in its current iteration. Being entirely unable to play at my own pace, and my own way, is the absolute worst.

These fucking systems are destroying what is a solid world experience. I feel bad for the artists that took the time and care to craft all this stuff.

I see the loop Blizzard, more than ever, and it is fucking boring.

It's funny you say that because a pal I've been playing with for 12 years just unsubbed last week, his quote was "I'm tired of doing Ion's chores".

I dunno they just made the carrot way too small this time around. Filling up the progress bar 4 times for Champions of Azeroth, and you get like 4% of an AP level for the reward. gee thanks *jerk off hand motion*.

They're trying way too hard to make us grind our asses off for their time played metric, and it's really exposed this xpac.

I like TF/WF. It gives people a reason to keep playing m+.
TF/WF is the RNG equivalent of AA points. People say they hate RNG but would it actually be better received if they instead just made it where you can +5 ilvl an item of your choice every 25 +10 or higher M+ runs completed?

I played more when there was a definitive end to your character per tier. Not that it was easy to get there. There was always that one weapon or trinket that never dropped or you got outbid on. It was nice though being able to effectively finish a character then move on to the alt aside from the one or two bosses your main needed.

Now I feel like any content I do on an alt is wasted because my main could have ran it and maybe forged a piece.

Holy shit if you have a few friends who like pvp the change to the arena conquest rewards makes that super fast now. My group are not that highly skilled but even with us just muddling through it I managed to get like 1300 conquest saturday. Pretty solid way to get 355 gear on alts and to fill out gearing holes. But getting 35 conquest per win of 3v3 arena is really pretty damn fast.
