I used to farm Shrine of the Storms on this priest and my mage alt for the cloth transmog but I noticed after 9.1 dropped, all the mobs in there have had their health scaled up to way more than what it was pre-9.1
What’s up with this?

You were having a little too much fun.
Blizzard fixed it.

You’re supposed to be in the maw and korthia, not doing old world activities.

Legion raids scaling is broken since 9.0 pre patch and Blizzard doesn’t care at all.

raids being soloable is what is broken. let’s not pretend a single toon should be killing a world-ending boss alone.

Exactly. Why bother having anyone go to those places for any reason? The assets are meaningless. All the time and energy that went into building the old raids means nothing. Only the new open world terrain has meaning because elevators and ramps are compelling content.

expansions should expand not replace.
since TBC, the design choice of expansions has been unsustainable.

They would get more play if they were easily accessible. Isn’t that something the producers want?
you mean you cant find the entrance? what context do you use the word ‘accessible’ ?
I understand your first sentence but not the second. Can you explain what you mean?
Shrine of the Storm is a dungeon. Not a world-ending boss.

The scaling is busted, but it’s low on the priority list. It likely won’t be fixed.

I mean finding 9-39 players willing to go there.

Eve Online came out in 2003 and it released an expansion every 6 months or so - like a large patch. the content that existed before was seldom if ever replaced by content that came after.
more ships, more space, more features, but (in wow terms) mining copper never stopped being needed. in fact you’d need more and more of it as bigger and bigger things could be built.
that ore you mine one hour into the game on your tutorial is used in the highest-end ships you can build at deep endgame. it never becomes obsolete or useless.

This isn’t Eve Online. WoW doesn’t play anything like Eve Online. With the introduction of transmog in Cataclysm, old raids gained some value to farm for the first time.

the point is: MMO design that wow pigeoholed themselves into is basically importing your character and assets into an entirely new gameworld every 2 years.
they have to design so much useless content to bridge the existing world and the new endgame… it’s an unsustainable design.
Cataclysm re-did the old world and in that sense was the model i imagine would make most sense for WoW. we can have a Maw and whatnot, but an entire new … continent page… in the “maps” tab every 2 years is too much.

Blizzard is bad at dealing with their own scaling system. It’s why I never want them to do another squish.

This is the subtle, but not really, point the legacy farm haters miss.
On a slow night getting a few CN’s out of the door can be difficult. and its the lateset raid.
Now imagine the people needed to support my runs last night. A run thaat came up with no planning. I saw korthia. I said I ain’t going to ride around in a chest/rare loop for 2 hours.
And popped the dalaran stone and said its, dramatic intro music, mythic legion test runs. no 2 days notice to get a raid team up in guild.
I took my korthia gear for a spin. EN herioc and mythic full clear back to back. so that is 48 people (24 per run).
tried for mythic NIghthold, a was cruising along good till Gul’dan. 24 people needed again. 24 I may not get. More like won’t.
And after tonight the cycle begins anew. When I do not know. Thursday night, Sunday night? I do this on whims, I don’t even know.
Mythic EN till every piece I can is found. Mythic nighthold to get more eagleton pieces. I can take the loot minus a gul’dan clear and be happy.

They have timewalking raids for those that want to keep the challenge going. Old raid farms just help get things that never dropped while the stuff was current. Having both is fine.
