Patch 3.2.2a
Clout |
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. ;)

Q u o t e:
same was said of TOgC.... content was getting taken out as fast as
it was put out....
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.
