EPTI will actually think less of Blizzard if they hand out free legendaries. They probably need to clarify how the system works so we don't have people throwing their assumptions around, but I think they picked the most obvious and simple path forward otherwise.

It's just gear. Are you in a world first guild? No? You're going to be able to do shit without Legendaries. There needs to be some tit calming in WoW. | ||

I'm 100% in favor of having Legendaries be locked out of Mythics for the first X weeks/months for that and similar reasons. I think letting them be a part of Mythic progression is a mistake Blizzard isn't likely to repeat. But outside of that specific context it's silly, and the vast majority of players are outside of that specific context. | ||

Your first example is definitely wrong. Prepatch doesn't mean Player 1 stops getting legendaries. The first 3 give way more advantage than the 5 that come afterwards since you can equip 1 (later 2) at a time and pick the best one that you have for the situation In the situation where second player just gets unlucky - that's just shit RNG but it's fair shit RNG, it's not biased towards either player, one of them just won the lottery. Personally i think it should give less power or be easier to win, but that's besides the point. They probably need to clarify how the system works so we don't have people throwing their assumptions around absolutely We have ~40 people currently vying for 20 mythic raid spots. Having a bis legendary or not is going to factor into if you're on the bench or in the raid. I've seen almost every guild overpopulated and looking for ranged DPS. The population of the game literally doubled overnight, so you're going to see that for a while. A quickly rising or falling playerbase is quite chaotic for guilds everywhere.. right now there are too few guilds, with a population crash there are too many etc. Creating or destroying a guild isn't that easy. @DH population - it's actually not anywhere near as high as i thought it'd be. Having more good melee specs than ranged is finally catching up But outside of that specific context it's silly, and the vast majority of players are outside of that specific context. The whole game is designed around the carrot on a stick of player power, Blizzard have even taken some relatively high profile design choices in order to promote this that hurt other parts of the game IMO. If you take that away or screw it up there are significant changes needed to balance out gameplay and reward | ||

It's just gear. Are you in a world first guild? No? You're going to be able to do shit without Legendaries. There needs to be some tit calming in WoW. Even top 5 guilds are sort of resigned to the fact that they're not going to be able to bring a raid full of legendaries. I mean anyone can think about it for a second: it's rare for someone to have a legendary, and super rare to have one of the ones that's really effective (some specs don't even have one that's especially effective). There are only so many top tier (skill and knowledge) players. How many players from second-tier guilds are actually gonna be accepted into a top 5 guild because of a legendary they got? I wouldn't be surprised if there are literally zero cases of this happening. And if it's not worth it for them, you gotta wonder if it's worth it for any other guild down the line. I mean you can trial some people in your flex raids and if their numbers are good and they do the mechanics and you like their attitude, then they can earn a spot. How many people are gonna go through that process and lose out to a player with a legendary, who they otherwise would have beaten? Very few. It is a way that some people will get screwed but it's SO FEW people that it's not even worth the general population's attention. http://www.method.gg/top-guilds-on-the-warm-up-legendaries-leveling-and-split-dungeons | ||

I would imagine that your dps/hps/tanking skill would have more to factor with it. And how you work with the raid group as a whole. And if you're a dick or not. And your ability to stick to the schedule. Unless your legendary takes you from literal bottom of the barrel dps to top of the charts and double the person below you, I don't see why it's more than a footnote for the decision making process. | ||

Unless your legendary takes you from literal bottom of the barrel dps to top of the charts and double the person below you, I don't see why it's more than a footnote for the decision making process. The factors you bring up are largely less relevant than you think they are in competitive progression raiding. Jerks who significantly impact raid performance and raiders who frequently no show have already benched themselves (if not gotten kicked out). What remains are players of very close, though not perfectly uniform, skill level. This is the realm where a 5% difference in spec DPS can mean a less skillful player does more damage than a more skillful one. As such, you can be the most skillful player in the guild, but if you're the least lucky when it comes to legendaries you can get benched because you either didn't get a legendary drop in time for Mythics or you got one which doesn't help you beyond its iLvl. The concern being expressed is valid. It is valid for only a very tiny subset of WoW's population, but that doesn't make it invalid. | ||
