But in WoW the devs didn't do a cop out and let you keep old gear with a catch that you only had to re gem and re enchant armor and boom its viable for raids.
They put in work and created new gear, not just recycled it, I don't like this addition to the game solely because it's a lazy move to add onto gamers play time. It's artificially lengthening the game in a way that is un-necessary
Regardless if the outcome is the same, I get my enjoyment by putting in the time to see that little yellow wording in the bottom left come up saying "WerrK Found ..." There is no fulfillment in killing 1000 enemies and 5 bounties to just see a little green circle fill up in each loading screen.
