why the legendary item has to be gold gated so high? like i understand the x10 shadowflame essences, but the 1000'ish of the other materials? and some of them are gated like hell and pricey af. I dont like this design at all, wasnt blizzard supposed to fight rmt? because this only encourages it, its hella counterproductive.
personally i liked welfare legiondaries. even though the aquisition was simply by drop, they still felt legendary not exclusive to stats and feats, but also design.iam somewhat cautios, if not afraif of the time- and social investment, its prospect feels more like a barrier than an adventure, although it isnt really different from other group acitivities. maybe just allow to solo Superbloom etc currencies or better: make them BOE (ie trade) like Primordial Saronite for Shadowmourne.
I'm kinda hoping they don't put a legendary like this for my class. I can afford it, but I don't want to blow a million gold on some stupid borrowed power item. There has to be a better way to implement legendaries into the game than making them a giant gold sink.
Here is an idea... start farming mats now. May not get them all, but you can put a decent dent in what you need even if you're lucky and get it the first week or two.
Apparently I'm in the minority here but this doesn't bother me at all. I pray I get this on my warrior, costs and all. And yes this will get downvoted - but just consider that these aren't impossible to obtain crafting materials or items that you have to reclear the raid 30 times just to get a unique item just to craft it - level your gatherers .. worse case scenario you never see the item drop and you make an absolute killing on the AH selling those mats .. or you get it to drop and you already have a good portion of them in your bank.
What an awful “legendary” questline. There’s nothing to these new ones but gold sinks.
