Auto-Gearing should have an update.

[Soullinker]

I have noticing this problem for a while in my 5 man groups but i just decided to write about it, because it is not a game breaking problem just an annoying one.

So what is going on:

I have been leveling a new RAF team 1 war/3huntards/1 priest. They are currently in the mid 70 range. Running fine but their gear is just so dated that i can't imagine how is that even possible.

From lv 20 to lv 7X my hunters did not change their ranged weapon. Yes they have a 11-18 item level weapons when lv 100 and above should be available even with green drops. They also have some strange gear like 55 item level wrists or head or what not.

Its not just my hunters, my tank warrior seems very much in love with his item level 39 Shield of Maraudon and 58 item level head.

The healer however seems to change gear as he should running with 150 item level stuff(the one that is currently dropping).

A bit on my set up: All characters/bots are set to vendor everything up to legendary and loot everything that drops, kill optional bosses and follow distance set to 7 meters/yards.

P.S. By no means is my group wiping on content or not being able to kill bosses and progress, but auto-equip seems badly working. I believe i could be leveling a lot faster if it was working better. Hell my group managed to kill the Gatekeeper boss in the Narubian dungeons without a tank(he decided to pull solo with party members behind the gate).

this is because if you are rafing them they level so damn quickly you have 3 hunters fighting each other for gear. If you cant see this no brainer Im lost. the chance of a bow/gun/w/e dropping in the 20 dungeons it takes you to level to 70 is probably 1/20 to begin with. Throw in the fact that you have 3 hunters you do realize not everyone of them is going to be getting gear. Reason why your priest is probably geared, and tank has more gear then your three hunters. If you want to gear them a bit, instead of using random dungeon, when they hit 70,80 run specific dungeons over and over again to gear them then move on to the next set after a few hours, will raise your item level enough to do cata regulars and then mop regulars as well once you get there. Sure it adds a day to level time but you dont have heirlooms might as well do it if you want to look better if someone inspected you at 80 with a 59 shield. SO yeah.

at 80 and 90 you can easily buy gear from NPC you will waste about 500g to get everything you need.

If there is no personal looting option prior level 90 then yes you will have to rework your groups if you want them to level up smoothly.

There's no need to bother with any of this stuff. Just leave quests enabled, they give more than enough gear to 90. It's just a waste of time to hunt for gear which has only a few points of difference. Things die rapidly anyway.

@Odano fine yes it not a big deal as they do level fast enough... but since you are talking about fighting gear and chances of gear dropping. What is the chance of 0 ranged weapons(not even from trash) dropping from 20-75 lv? Because none of my hunters have changed the bow/gun that he equipped during the brief leveling with quests.

There are very few ranged weapon drops when you level with RAF. If you actually have a specific case where AutoEquip is not equipping a superior weapon, then you should post. This post has nothing concrete and is based on assumptions.

Please spend some time watching your bots and you will probably notice that nothing is actually dropping to replace the old items.
