I’m relatively “new” to WoW, having played back in BC, and Wrath and quitting because Cata was God awfully grindy and boring. I came back, and just to get some cosmetic gear, I have to run 25-40 hours of old legacy raids walking at a snails pace through entire encounter slowly killing each boss just for a CHANCE, not a guarantee, a fuckin CHANCE to get some cosmetic gear. What’s even worse is that the chance is so low you have to level multiple characters and act like a literal goldfarmer just to get the cosmetic sets you want.
Example: Siege of Orgrimmar, from Mists of Pandaria. You have to do it on Raidfinder, Normal, and Mythic to get all 3 sets. I’ve spent about 16 hours total on this one set, and still don’t have it.
