People like you ruin brackets just as bad as Pizza. The reason a lot of the community dissipated early wotlk was not only because of xp on/off, but the removal of helm/leg chants ect. I removed my gem gear because I care for my account because people like you strive to ruin the game for everyone else. Twinking is about getting the 100% best in slot gear possible, therefore stop being a lazy shit and crying because you didn't get some extra agility/resil/stam over the people that put in the time and effort. Along with all the other retarded people who agree with you.
they over reacted and prematurely left. alot of changes and gear made up alot.. like a rogue for example
lost +8 agi enchant on helm and 12 agi / 40 stam on legs.
but there were alot of gains:
AGM's got changed to 12 stam
BOA's add more stam over once in game BIS blues/greens,
satchel cloaks and belts
new blue items
gained 8 agi and 8 dodge when stealth enchants was changed, before +3 agi was best
depending on ranged used one can gain 3 agi/3stam with a bow vs 2 agi piercers
new incoming cloak enchant is +5 stats
not gonna math it all out for you, this topic was discussed and done up on TI when the nerf occurred...long story short my rogue at that time was only down 160hp
now there were alot of players that went to 450 mining (60 stam) and herbing (3000hp heal)....and yes when that was also nerfed they quit because they didn't have the upperhand and were upset about the work they put in. players who had it made the same claims you are concerning use of gems.
as the same was said by twinks who got the skyguard trinket, ogrila trinkets, aldor/scryer & BC faction head shoulder enchants, naxx/zg/ad enchants, wotlk legarmor kits...etc etc.
