In theory, this would only happen if Blizzard fails to balance the difficulty scaling from 1 to 4 players properly, or they fail to balance the NPC partner that solo players get to travel with for the season.
I donât know why anyone would feel forced to do Delves.
Oh, nah, if they do the tuning correctly itâll exclude a ton of people.
If content intended for a group of players is balanced in such a way that it excludes that intended group, then that would qualify as a failure on the developerâs part.

Iâm saying if it were tuned to be comparable to heroic raid.
Delves will have the same issues as torg, visions, etc., some classes/specs will walk them at the hardest level while others struggle. Even better, when they hit the ptr, there will absolutely be people giving very valid feedback on this and it will subsequently be ignored and shipped.

Swap out delves with any other endgame pillar and it makes just as little sense, yet you still have people saying it.
Those are the people that need to be left behind. Theyâre singularly focused on trying to min-max their characters at all times. Theyâre âforcingâ themselves, and they think itâs being thrust upon them because theyâre given the choice.

Theoretically, this is what the customizable NPC is supposed to help with. It can be specced for tanking, damage, healing, etc. If they do it well it should be able to shore up areas where a class and spec are lacking.
Thatâs the key though: IF they do it well.
I have the same concern as you though. Past PTR feedback shows a trend of being ignored until any necessary changes come too little too late.

its probably gonna be something like 1 piece a week
Well Delves come with NPC fills, so classes that canât solo as well wonât be left behind as significantly.
They did. Iâm pretty sure they likened it to Horrific Visions gear.
Where the first reward for the week will be the highest ilvl you are eligible for, but subsequent clears will continue to lower the ilvl.
Itâll be just like visions. Inconsequential.
Sounds like theyâre overcomplicating it already which will mean it flops

Lets not forget the customizable mount!
yeah that should be wicked to seeâŠif it happens and looks halfway decently as theyâve advertised cool stuff like it before then scrap it last minute.
One Heroic raid piece per week would be a joke, especially if that one piece is tied to RNG and you can get cloak dupes for multiple weeks in a row.
The Great Vault slots should also be Heroic raid item level if you did enough difficult delves that week.
And those keys for use within the delves had better not come exclusively from group content.

but this wow its all about that rng treadmill loot because anything else is boring and stagnant in a âvideo game designed to be funâ.
But yes i agree with ya that rng sucks and i dont like it in mah game.

I think heroic is fine, but I think mythic is fine too.
Why? Because even in BIS bad players will still perform very poorly.
I really donât care about the pearl clutchers who fear that all their hard work and accomplishments will somehow become invalidated if somebody they view as below them has access to the same ilvl gear as them. These people will always be insecure and complain about something anyway.

It says up to. Which means the hardest version of that content will get heroic level loot and the lower will probs get heroic dungeon loot.
You arenât going to get the best loot without performing at that level. And likely 1 piece a week like they did with the BFA visions thing

11s reward full farmable champion gear, I donât think 11s are too bad. It is probably fine.
