Going with that logic people shouldnt even farm pre raid gear because otherwise pre-mythic tiers of raiding become even easier | ||

like, there are other reasons why people want to run it, its not just speedrunning for WoW lol. Should we dump all our gear and do Mythic raids in greens? Also, they are quite fun to run even if you don't go for gold. | ||

I mean, there's a design flaw somewhere if people are only running the hardest content in the game in order to gear up for the other content, and not because they actually want a challenge. | ||

The one piece of challenging content Blizzard puts in the game and people only want to do it for gear to make the easier content even easier? Well that's the wrong point of view on the game. "-Why do you kill monsters? -To get more gear! -Why? -To kill more monsters! -Why? -To get more gear!" etc. In order for you to experience the higher levels of challenge you have got to have proper gear. I think arena is the perfect example of that. Say you are a skilled master. And you know you can challenge people on top ratings and get gladiator title. But in order to do that, you've gotta have the GEAR. Without it no matter how skilled you are, you won't be able to advance to these levels (this only worked in vanilla...maybe tbc for a bit). So you need better gear, you have to be rewarded with it from smaller challenges in order to advance to the higher ones. See? | ||

I can't speak for everyone but I'm pretty sure people have been 'whoring' for gear like it's the only thing that matters since Vanilla | ||

What if i told you that people like the challenge AND the gear? Mindblowing amirite? | ||

Speedrunning is more enjoyable when everyone is playing on an even field. I just enjoy them for the challenge + gear But, they ARE normalized to an even playing field. Unless you mean extreme min/maxing like secondary stats | ||

Its like signing up for the Olympics (Mythics) and going to the store to get good shoes (CM daily gear). Now you may argue that Mythic is not the end game but for those people farming CM dailies for gear it most likely is. Yes wow is gear > bosses > more gear > more bosses for a lot of raiders. Welcome to the formula that has kept this game going for a decade. | ||
