DF abandons WoW’s solo playerbase... but why?

To what does it change if solo players can get the best gear? I’m saying, just delete everything until it is so.

And that is never going to happen for solo players.

Like never.

There’s nothing exclusive about my gear. You want it then go do the content that awards it.

I know, that’s what makes it so sad. This is your emotional motivation because nothing else makes any sense. Adding a solo route to the best gear does not affect your gameplay whatsoever. Yet you passionately stand against it. There’s no other motivation than your perceived exclusivity.

Okay, say they deleted all content that gives better gear than what’s obtainable solo. How is the game improved for the solo player?

No one is suggesting to delete content besides you. I’m suggesting to add content and AI parties.

I’m just saying , content deletion is another way to grant your request.

And they kinda have that with scenarios while questing. They’re just meh.

No it’s not, since my request is to add a solo route, not eliminate another.

but it satisfies your request. Solo players now have the best gear since they deleted everything else.

A mockery of group content would be unfulfilling.

Okay well your in your own little world on that one since nobody is actually asking for that. And I would stand against such a thing because I’m not in the habit of trying to ruin the experience of others. Plenty of people like the partying system for gear progression.

You are ruining the experience for others if you have easy to complete solo stuff that gives the best gear. It’s another list of chores before you can actually play the game. I’m in favor of less of that.

O please, I douby many people are raiding mythics to get the best gear.
Also your point about people leaving if they have no gear? So your saying all the people that have no gear now left in the solo department?

How is having a decent ilvl path so bad for someone that likes the game, just doesn’t like playing with other people. That report button goes to good use in group content.

They already have decent gear (heroic raid ilvl) ish. And it’s still not enough because it’s not “THE BEST.”

Why? If you’re not interested in pursuing that activity then just keep playing the way you’re playing. Your group play will achieve the same ends. You don’t need to do it both ways that would be redundant. Nothing changes for you at all. Just saying it ruins your experience doesn’t make any sense. You need to actually back that up with something substantive.

If you’re saying that adding new and good content shouldn’t happen because it’s more for you to do, well good luck with that. I guess we’ll just stop all expansions then for you.

Look, if you can get say 424s by just doing scenarios, People would do that, then do other stuff.
Instead of having the joy of progressing through the m+ ladder, people would try to jump to 20 and higher. The experience would be a lot worse.

(Or maybe just eschew it entirely, cause no loot.) Challenge modes weren’t popular compared to m+.

Nope. I just want you to earn the gear like everyone else in the game instead of demanding the game give you the best gear for killing 10 boars.

Actually it does. It forces me to do solo brain dead content in order to stay competitive to do the content I want to do.

Lucky for me Blizzard is never going to ever award the best gear form solo content.

Blizzard is better off adding gear vendors (like the test realms or tournament realms) than giving solo players the best gear.

No doesn’t. You would never have to touch solo gear progression content you don’t want to. You can get all your gear progression through the partying system that you prefer. Stop inventing problems that no one is suggesting.

You have nothing to stand on so now you’re just making things up as if they are imperatives to the idea.

Right now you can get ilvl close to or even similar to Heroic Raiding or 10-15 M+ worth of gear just by doing casual or solo content.

There’s enough rewards already in place.

People take the path of least resistance to success. If solo play is trivially easy, people will do that before grouping up. (Like how the 10.0.7 ring will be.)

That would be bad design and no one is asking for that either. In fact it could be even more challenging. Having to partially control healers and tanks. The sky is the limit.
