I was wondering if anyone has an estimate on when swp gear will be in shop? I'm tired of only rogues being the only class that has their BiS weapons available for purchase.

hope never xD
Agreed, odd that a weapon labeled as "Legendary" is more commonly seen than many non-legendary...Quote:

Agreed, this will help even the playing field.
Yes, when nobody is left playing except cash shoppers, all will be equal.Quote:

like i said i came from a tbc server that like 10 years old and its low pop know becasue of outland, but even when that old server was rocking it had no where near 4k or 5k people on it like outland does now. **** that old tbc server did not even have 3k people one at one time, yet raids happend and so did bgs and arena.
If you slap every non-shopper across the face by releasing legendary weapons super early after saying to the community that glaives were only going to arrive very late *if at all*, just before 2 tbc servers were about to release, obviously people are going to have major reasons to quit.Quote:

Guild leaders who quit have told me that their members are upset with the shop releases. They make older content hard to recruit for when people can just spend a few bucks and skip the content, to join a better guild. Then there are no feeder gilds left, top guilds have nobody to recruit, and Pve on that timezone/faction dies. Glaives were just the last straw. It's a slow process but you can see it at work. Wrath is a whole different animal with a different audience and different barriers to entry with regard to raiding.Quote:

Why waste the time in SSC/TK? This point in patch release and server progression T5 is garbage and not worth doing. I see players in full shop gear in a T5 guild still not progressing, that is another reason people are quitting. Don't blame the shop for all the problems. You also had two servers launch in that time as well that are fresh. I had 10 people leave the guild I was in when the new server launched. 10 from our core. Then another 4-7 left after to start a core over there. You know why? Since it was a skip no content guild where we were going to progress through T5 and they didn't want to do that. So I left the guild and joined a way better one. Hmm... I seem to have been able to feed from T4 into BT/MH no problem, then again I know my class, encounters, and am a fairly good player. Trust me it wasn't glavies that made 5k people leave.
Wrath was the same way end game. Plus it was so easy you could PuG all the raids. You could PuG ICC with some Heroic modes mixed it. Wrath was a joke and rained gear.
