Look how easy it is to gear now!

][cEMAN** · 03-01-2010 7:49am #1

I dinged this alt on the 27th. Went raiding with my main, and spent a couple of days away from keyboard. Then 2 days ago I logged in and started doing randoms. Went to sleep and woke up the next day to do randoms. The only dungeon i've done was last night Ulduar 10 to get the weekly raid achievement.

I can't even afford the gems yet to put in the gear. I've done WG quests to get most of the rep to get the ones I have already.

But it's just rediculous. I could walk that toon into a few top raids now. With extra gemming, and 1 more day of randoms, I could have it ready for ICC. That's 3 days of heroics only (except for that 1 Ulduar 10), to get to ICC with gear enough to walk it.

GG Blizzard!

waaaaay too easy, i could walk into any raider guild as soon as i get those ****ty trinkets replaced, i keep losing on roll for the fos trinket

DarthWraak · 03-01-2010 12:57pm

This game has been way too easy for much longer than lolbadges

Magill · 03-01-2010 1:34pm

Thats nothing on my shaman, 1 week after dinging, i had an average of 241 itemlvl elemental gear and a almostly completely different healing set at 239 average itemlvl. 1 ICC run + 1 ToC10 hc + random hc's. I litterly had a full conquest set and the battered hilt mace the same day i dinged.

WellyJ · 03-01-2010 1:44pm

Sums up why the game is **** now.

210 emblems in under 24hrs? Average 5 per run, that's 42 runs. You must have done a Cartman and had your mom come collect your **** in a bucket

You can get conquest emblems from doing random normal Northrend Dungeons from 70-80. Still seems unlikely that he really had a full conquest set though heh.

][cEMAN** · 03-01-2010 2:23pm

Even at that, I did randoms from about 76 onwards, and only stopped at 79 to do quests to get Sons of Hodir rep. Still took me 2 days to get a full set.

Fair play

Magill · 03-01-2010 3:05pm

haha

well, by full set i mean 4 bits for set bonus. Got that head from second boss in PoS. As a healer i was storming through HC's, you can do (With a good group, which we had, guild MT + 3 guildie dps's) 5 or 6 hc's an hour easily. Fun times.

^ It really is the worst thing about blizzards "Casual" approach. I hate it that new guilds just skip straight to the newest raid, new characters are transformed from blue geared alts to fully epic'd 232+ geared alts in a matter of 1 week.

i like this doh, ive been playing since vanilla and its actually nice to be able to gear up alts now rather quickly and not have them sitting in **** gear for ages.

You are not even close to ICC level, stop fooling yourself. Really...

For ICC 10, all you need is TotC 10 gear (ilevel 232). He's got some 245 level gear and some blues. I'd say that's pretty close to ICC 10 level.

i dunno what the fuss is about. Ironforge has been rumbling for a while now, and Cataclysm is on the way. Its fairly safe to presume all this gear youre getting so easilly will be nothing compared to what youll be wanting to drop when you get the expansion.

Take this moment to enjoy catching up to all the no-life players so all the endgame toons (or most of them) will start on fairly even footing when y'all start charging into the maelstrom.

ye the kinda did the same when TBC came out with the pvp gear.

This is part of the problem for mains though - the fact that people are now getting so many alts and gearing them up so easily, so sticking them into raids over their mains.

Yes the game is easy, but you do actually see a difference between people who stick to their mains and really learn it, over those who have 1 of every class, and just know a bit about each. Jack of all trades, master of none.

Same as it has been for the past 5 years...

I love this mentality... "he has great gear, he must be fat, ugly loner with no life and no job" :rolleyes: GTFO to be honest...

Delicious ironing

Nehaxak · 04-01-2010 7:00pm

I dunno, I'm actually enjoying the game more now.

My Hunter, levelled up a couple weeks ago in PvP only, sticking with BM as I got the Arcturis pet...
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Draenor&n=Nauru

Shaman, same thing, levelled in AV, now enjoying resto (Chain heal spam, yawn...)
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Draenor&n=Nehaxak

My DK, upgraded a lot of gear, my DW gear is better though...
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Draenor&n=B%C3%A1sridire

Still levelling my Rogue in AV every now and again and not bothered upgrading my Mage's gear yet.

Mainly playing the Shammy and Hunter. Both are about 35 tokens each away from the 2 Tier set piece bonuses, which I only realised lately you could buy from emblems

Also made a fair bit from selling Primordial Saronites from the Frost emblems.

Considering my Hunter and Shammy in particular had pretty crap gear at 80, yeah, that's some amount of upgrade for both of them.
In regards the crafted epics, LW patterns were bought cheap on the AH and the Orbs bought from emblems.

TechnoPool · 04-01-2010 7:08pm

hows the XP in av these days?

I'd agree with you for the most part on that I'd have to say.
Some classes require a lot more dedication than others.

Look how easy it is to gear now!
