For the most part I think the changes surrounding expertise are good, with a few notable exceptions.
Gypsum being capped per day. Why? What’s the point? All you are doing here is punishing people who want to play for more than an hour, or people who can’t log on every day.
Expertise lowering your effectiveness, so, this is actually a compounded problem.
People are buying gear at 600 off the AH because it takes SO LONG to get there normally.
We are talking literally thousands of hours. That’s an insane amount of time.
People want to be able to do the end game content and not feel like you are under contributing because of your gear, when they don’t have thousands of hours to play. Again, you are punishing the casual audience, for really no reason. Make no mistake, the casual audience, is most players.
In addition to that the power level difference between a 500gs piece and a 600gs piece in reality, is not that big compared to how much work it is. Especially considering PvP.
For this reason it feels extra bad to HAVE to grind for thousands of hours to get there.
