I'm fairly new to the game, about 4 weeks now and still within my first 30 day sub period, and I've just discovered that veteran FP's can give gear up to item level 306, which is neat, but apparently the hardest raids available to progression guilds also reward 306 ilvl. Is this a recent change or has it always been like this?
I'm not sure what the benefit or purpose is to harder content if the rewards are effectively the same, it sounds like there are parts of the story that are wrapped up in operations, which is neat, but I feel like there has to be something I'm missing if the hardmode raids give the same ilvl at normal dungeons, can anyone explain?
