Conduits, the way they are used in soulbinds, remind me a lot of FFX's Sphere Grid, in a bad way. A very bad, bad way.
Yeah i'm kinda worried about this system, it seems very similar to things from the past that we all know didn't workout very well. but lets hope i'm wrong about that.
i have to agree with you on feeling useless, i stopped playing in 8.2 came back for 8.3 and not only am i so far behind that i feel is there even a point in trying to catch up? the amount of time it will take to get rank 15 cloak on my main, then gear the alts that i want to play get their cloak to rank 15, then try to get into pugs for mythic plus/raids, seems not even worth trying. let alone all the BIS essences that i would need to even feel that tiny bit of relevance in a group is crazy.. and this new system seems to replicate the very thing that people have an issue with, and so many more systems then bfa it feels like.
by the shadowland comes, every one are going to play bfa private servers.... that how bad this %^&* is . Even a donkey doesnt fall in the same hole 2ice. And there is the fcking hole in the ground. every one is fcking yelling dont you dare to fall into this hole again. and the stupid donkey is going strait toward the hole. u know what people do? they dont go after donkey to save it some point. just find another god damn hole to fall in atleast. make the same fcking mistake that u have been making for past expansions? Dude. give me a break.
