Since Cataclysm is open to changes, I’d really like to see flex raiding implemented. As it stands with 10 and 25 dropping the same loot and sharing a lockout, I think pulling Flex raiding forward makes sense. Every guild I’ve been in that has fallen apart since Classic “vanilla,” has done so because of the roster boss. Folks need flexibility but don’t want to be on a bench ever, and guilds fall apart over it. Flex Raiding smooths over that issue, and implementing it at a time when 10 and 25 man raids drop the same loot and share a lockout makes sense I think. Tuning and loot drops will still be an issue, but they are so already with the mechanics for 10 v 25.

It’s more complicated than you think, they would have to remove the possibility to swap to heroic completely and many people wouldn’t like that.
I understand it’s complicated, but still think it’s the right time. They were trying to achieve something similar with the 10 mans and 25 mans being different sizes of the same raid content.
I disagree with the heroic comment though. Retail allows flex raids in both normal and heroic, but they draw the line at mythic. Since mythic doesn’t exist, I think flex is warranted for both difficulties. It’s certainly a pipe dream of mine. I doubt it will come to fruition, but since they’re open to changes, I think this is one worth looking into.
I think flex should be there instead of LFR, but it also means to implement mythic raiding and get rid of 10 man heroic raiding… or find a way to separate 10H, 25H and Flex10-25
I agree. Flex raiding is certainly something that needs to be added. We are already running the Dragonflight client so there is no reason really why they can’t do it.

As the person who posts the majority of raid rosters in my guild for Wrath Classic so far flex raids for Cataclysm is basically my World of Warcraft Christmas wish. Everyone in my guild that I’ve spoken to is highly in favor of bringing this feature in.

This should be implemented. There are a lot of guilds that are not full and need to pick up players to raid. Since SoD’s deployment, the process of screening players and filling the raid has made it take forever to fill. Flex raid could solve this issue and allow raiders the joy of just playing with who is on in their guild that they like playing with.
