Regional FlagBlizzard, please stop making gear worthlessSource

I read in 3.3 triumph badges will be hanging from trees. Given away to anyone who can hit a mob with a stick. Makes me feel sad. Once ICC is out, everyone will be running around in T9, 9.5 Yet another generation of gear completely devalued.

Gear items should have lasting value. Like EQ has. It swhould be hard to get and if you have some nice gear you stand out. And that is how it was in the beginning of WoW

Instead Blizzard has accelerated the treadmill. Once new generation comes out then everyone is showered by previous generation gear. That is extremely annoying. Cheapens the effort people put in completely. Yes I know on big servers with uber guilds everyone has cleared everything already and has all gear. On smaller service majorities still haven't cleared heroic TOCs. And now with 3.3 release its not even needed.

Make the effort that people put into obtaining gear count. Stop giving it away. Makes the game extremely boring.

I noticed Blizzard lately has a general trend is dumbing down the game. I think its becoming a problems.

Any thoughs ?

There is still a lot of gear from Trial of the Crusade that cannot be obtained with Emblems of Triumph alone. Heroic gear and set pieces purchased with Trophies of the Crusade will still separate players conquering the biggest challenges Trial of the Crusade has to offer from those who will be farming emblems after patch 3.3. In addition, there will be scores of new items available in the Icecrown Citadel raid. The average raider will need to gear up a good deal while progressing through this raid dungeon if they wish to eventually defeat the Lich King.

Wrath of the Lich King really advances one of the most popular story lines in the Warcraft universe like never before. Players have been watching the saga unfold since Warcraft III and are not far off from finally attempting to end the Lich King's reign. We want as many players taking part in this adventure as possible, and 3.3 will provide smaller or less-experienced guilds the opportunity to gear up and advance through Icecrown Citadel. We've been putting a ton of work into this final dungeon and want players enthused about taking their shot at killing one of the most infamous characters in Warcraft history. Make no mistake though, this raid will be very hard. If you think that, by allowing players to farm Emblems of Triumph, we're completely nullifying any gear gap and giving the average player an easy stab at clearing Icecrown Citadel and besting the Lich King, you misunderstand the evolution of this game and make too many assumptions about how the 3.3 changes will affect it.

Clout, if you're going to be one of the first players at the Frozen Throne ready to tank the Lich King when the opportunity comes, I trust he'll show you how he feels about you saying this game is being "dumbed down." So sure, everyone go farm for ilevel 245, non-set gear after the 3.3 content update. Go prepare yourselves as best as possible to enter Icecrown Citadel. Just know that it's not a park, and you ain't just walkin' through it. ;)
I see you chippin' away again
Your old icicle island
I know that look of fear, I'm well aware
No need to brave it all alone
I'll be there...

to paraphrase blizz... *BLIZZ was not prepared...*


I don't understand your meaning. There's no relevant means of comparison between Trial of the Crusader/Grand Crusader and Icecrown Citadel.
