Mrw people think that nearly the best items in the game should be accessible for basically no effort at all. no offenserino pls just a prank bro
Real talk though, while it was an extreme luxury for those who have already gone through the PVE content literally hundreds of times to obtain items of such caliber, it was not healthy nor fair to hand out such powerful components for people who literally have no experience with the instance or the encounter. As a long time raider, I am definitely happy more than sad for the loss of such items. It is, in my opinion, a fine change to the server when it comes to the grand scheme of things and I've always endorsed a certain level of fair game (which is why I'd dare to say that the coin shop is also overloaded by a great margin but that is a whole another field of discussion).
It's necessary to remember that there are quite a few decent PVE guilds on Icecrown as of now (and at least 4 of those guilds are extremely devoted towards domination of the end-game content) which means you can always find a place of your own in the community if you've been playing for a while and already bear some sort of PVE-related experience. If, on the other hand, a player has no actual experience of raiding and/or he/she is new to this expansion, it is necessary to remember that their overall understanding of this game is limited, nearly inexistent, in every single form,
especially if there is no one helping out. Stat priority, itemization, world mechanics (classes, boss fights, general game mechanics etc.) are the things which should be learned at least to the minimal extent. Being casual is no excuse when it comes to this particular field, if you are willing to go out there and get a certain item which is nearly best in slot, you better know how to deal with the fight (
while handling your class) which actually offers that loot.
The shop change makes you learn how to play this game, not just come here to wait for 30 days to get an item which is going to amplify the game experience drastically in both PVE and PVP. To be completely honest, this change hurts those who have already gone through the PVE end-game content countless times on their main+alt characters and at the same time is going to encourage the newer players to actually try harder for the items they wish to obtain. It is ultimately a change towards the proper balance.
