Okay, not a serious question (my title) but still, I'm confused.
Maybe I just don't remember (which is possible) but I do not recall it being so difficult to get into Heroics? (I'm talking about RDF , just fyi)
I have an average iLvl of 183, because my trinkets aren't 187 items (and maybe one other item is 179 or 183 or something) but it seems like that even if you have all 187 items, you still cannot get into Heroic dungeons. I see people in normal dungeons with FAR MORE gearscore than me and MAYBE they are choosing to be in regular dungeons over heroic but i doubt it.
So, venting off, and now my question is, am I missing part of the game or something? I see iLvL 200 purples in reputation quartermasters, but its exalted rep that is required! Aren't the tabards for heroic dungeons to get the rep to get these purple gears... but I can't get into heroics to get the rep without first getting the rep and getting the item....
There has to be something else I'm missing?
Maybe to get into Heroics I need to spend 4k gold and buy the garbage purples out of the AH? If that is the case, why not just let me buy access to heroics with gold!? there is no way that ilvl 200 item with frost resistance and stamina is going to make me more powerful in a heroic dungeon vs my int/stam/crit/hit 187 gear.
Someone help me here.
I was loving this server and wow all over again and then it was like "oh crap, now what" regular dungeons are so boring and since I'm already almost all 187 there isn't even any gear I can get! the ONE trinket that drops from regular dungeons that is caster dps based is from the occulus and 80% of players can't even work the dragons!
just point me in the right direction on how to get geared for heroics and i'll be so happy.
Thank you!
