@IshayuG "moderation" is bad for PvE difficulty. we have improved plans to address the freshly leveled issue in WoD.— Russ Petersen (@nite_moogle) March 31, 2014

@jakobsohn @IshayuG you can gear up for Flex purely on the Timeless Isle. The ilvl of boost gear is very deliberate.— Russ Petersen (@nite_moogle) March 31, 2014

@jakobsohn @IshayuG between oQueue ToT-N+Bonus Rolls, Celestials, Ordos, and Burdens of Eternity you have a lot of options to gear pre-Flex.— Russ Petersen (@nite_moogle) March 31, 2014

yea but RNG really sucks in this game dont know how many weeks on my shaman and still on tier off celestial boss
My Hunter has been level 90 for 9 weeks, and every week I have gone and killed Ordos, and used the bonus roll. I have gotten NOTHING from him from all 9 kills, even with 18 chances at getting loot. Either the drop rates are complete garbage, or i'm just REALLY unlucky.And it also requires a Legendary Cloak to access. That alone takes more than 2 months to get. I'm still only on Titan Runestones with my Hunter.So I really think Ordos drops shouldn't be included in "a lot of options to gear pre-Flex"
wow, so much whining and crying...
Celestials/Ordos have a lower drop rate - 15%, as opposed to 25% for SOO LFR and Flex (personal loot chance and coin rolls), just keep that in mind when you coin those bosses -- though you definitely should because of the high ilvls
just a note. its 01/04/14. so be careful
of course getting normal and warforged gear isn't gonna be guaranteed drop from world bosses, if you're upset about the drop rate spend like 2 hours getting 535 gear and find a flex group
Still another summer of this expac to go. No rush folks on getting into Flex.
I thought they did a good job with ilvls and SoO, even with timeless island and boosts. Despite a lot of crying on the forums, you cannot boost a character, or even use timeless island gear to instantly get into SoO LFR. I thought both things were a reasonable compromise between being able to catch a character up quickly vs having to play that character a decent amount of time before doing current content. Most of my alts had to do either a good deal of grinding on TI or else run older LFRs to get a few pieces of gear to enter SoO LFR, and in my opinion, it was a fair amount. Not so much that I never would do it on alts, but enough that I played my alt and knew his abilities before getting into SoO.As far as flex mode. Two different issues. The first is that it was EASY to beat the first part of Flex with an ilvl of 500. I main tanked it the first week at around that level. But the problem is oqueue and people making rules, which leads people on the forums to say ´i need 530 to do flex mode´... which isn´t accurate. You need 530 to get into a pug to do flex, but you can actually easily beat the content with an ilvl of 500.
