Okay I see many people complain about the DLC faction gear that gets you to level 31 and many people respond that this is the MMO style. Old gear is used to aquire better gear in the upcoming DLC. [b]That is not the case.[/b] [b][i]The problem[/i][/b] is that the VoG gear doesnt help you aquire the new gear. You could buy the game today and be level 31 before a guy that played since the Beta. [b][i]The solution (1) [/i][/b] would be that new players start just like every other player did. They have the old (light 27) and the new (light 33) faction gear available but in order to buy the new (light 33) gear they first have to get to 30 by doing the VoG or completing events eg Iron Banner. [b][i]The solution (2)[/i][/b] I would suggesst the following. I will do it for every upcoming raid and refer it to the VoG because it was the first one available. To obtain the current max light level you either need: - The new raid gear or - The new raid gear, dismantle it for (example) raid core + VoG gear Then add the raid core to the VoG gear to up its light level to the max. This way no old player will feel bad and the newer players would have 2 raids to play. Seriously who plays the VoG for gear now? [b][i]The solution (3)[/i][/b] credits J2H JMONEY Trade in VoG raid gear for the new faction gear (light 33). This way people who have done the VoG and got lucky will be well prepared for the new raid. Edit: At the current state this is no expansion it does not expand the current game. It changes the game. The "story" missions have no story. Eris tells you what she already said in the trailer and you do the same stuff as before.
