Why must you ruin these things for us. Rip to all the people who bought them for 10k after the wowhead article đŸ˜‚
I'm just here for all the fun detected whining
Based on stat Sims, My intellect is 3.2 per point.My best secondary is 0.6 per point.After the first and second gem sure. But the gems need to be 5 times stronger to be worth using. The equivalent stat would need to be greater than 30 secondary stat to be worth slotting. Might as well just make it useable only on ilevel below 145 and just sort it all out.
I'm surprised the Angry Mods didn't start deleting posts criticizing WoW5head hehe
the nerf is affecting lower level as well, why don't make those gems unusable above some ilvl instead of nerfing them (or maybe even buffing SL items?)They put the worst bandaid instead of fixing the real problem
This among many things lets you know they've gone to the C team for Dev's...
So; did the rest of the BfA - and earlier - gems get equally nerfed...?Sounds to me like there's too much kit in the game to keep track of, to keep it all in line when new Expansions (esp. ones where numbers get altered) get released.
They also changed the mats required for the LW green bow and crossbow to make it not profitable to craft.
3 days ago I was like "they're gonna nerf that soon, trust me". Eyup. Needed to be done, though; last expansion's gems should not have more stats.
The main reason why so many people are pissed, is not because their "fun is ruined", but because they paid 10 thousands of gold for the old gems. Some days later it was for naught.Probably some even invested millions of gold, so they can resell them for profit. But now all that became useless and they became poor / got a huge loss.Its like you lived in the early 1900s and bought 10000 horses from all your financial posessions, but then the automoblie + assembly lines were invented and your life is *f*cked.Today its kind of like the oil patriarchs, who arent "happy" about new technologies like E cars.
