Initial Thoughts On 3.2
Time to weigh in on the 3.2 patch notes that were recently released. There’s certainly a lot to digest in there, but the topic which seems to have gotton under almost everyone’s skin is the change to Emblems of Conquest for all content, and the new Emblems of Triumph for dungeon dailies.
Euripides over at CriticalQQ covered the attitude thing the best. Basically – you’re not special so quit whining that other people can get similar gear to you.
I also wanted to say this: Just because T8 gear will be available to anyone who can run Heroics does not ruin your raids! Your guild cleared Ulduar 25 Hard Modes and has Algalon on farm because you are good players – not JUST because you have great gear. Ulduar might be full of noobs a month after the patch – but none of them will get much further than Flame Leviathan. Why?
Because gear does not maketh the player.
Your gear enables you to play to your fullest potential, but I’m guessing you’d still be a good player in my gear or worse. A crap player is a crap player – won’t matter if they are wearing T8 or not. It will mean that the good players who are still up and coming will get a chance to shine.
There are already 10,000 people wiping in Naxx every night despite being in full 213 gear – because they think purplz = 733t (And because they can’t spell, but that’s a whole other bias).
Skill > Gear and always will be. If someone is crap despite their gear, don’t play with them again. Problem solved.
