I understand that legendary gear is never handed out in WoW and it does require effort on the part of the player, I cannot help but think in what I am doing so far, that even with a legendary item quest being accessible to all as the game has gone casual over the last couple of years, its an irritating grind all the same and lacks the skill needed to complete quests in the past (I say this off the back of having completed the “Hunter” and “Priest” Legendary quest series, I completed them both during the close up of BC not vanilla, but they were even then still challenging). Elements of skill in quests made for a better sense of achievement than trawling through raids to get boss drop pieces, I can’t help but think that Blizzard has gotten lazy/complacent with this chain and its working through it.
I have just managed to get through the horror of a mandatory PvP element of this chain, which required no less than 12 attempts at the Temple of Kotmogu arena, and about 6 at the silver shard mine, both clearly reminding why I hate PvP where people just didn’t grasp the goals of the arena’s and the fact that PvP gear now means that people who pvp have near tank levels of health, compared to the average joe PvE player (the pvp is now diverse enough, that I think wow would benefit from a PvP walkthrough event for the arenas, similar to what happens in the DK starting area, working through each arena to explain what goes on and what the objectives are)
Its feeling a bit endless at the moment, having ground out chapters 1 and 2 of the chain, with its endless rep grinds and raid grinds for drops, it had started to get a bit interesting in the travelling around and killing of elite mobs which made it fun (non-pvp quests aside!) to have to get back into the raids and hope for another 20 boss drops to proceed again, averaging over an hour a raid now.
The thing that glares the most at me is that I can’t help but notice the lack of creativity with the chain while progressing along it now.
