I know that. The gatekeeping is real. But wow is all about making raiders happy.
It’s not gatekeeping. The only thing gatekeeping anyone is the people who refuse to do the content.
It’s not about making raiders happy. It’s about the game’s fundamental design.
Awwww so cute snooze wants to troll me like they troll everyone else here but snooze doesn’t realize they are on my ignore because I don’t want to deal with snooze the troll.
Sorry but group content would just be really easy in comparison since you wouldn’t have to partially control your healer and your tank. You have someone else do that for you. So really it could be argued that such solo content should grant better rewards. But I’m not asking for that.

I’ll simply this for you real easily.
The hardest content awards the best gear.
That’s why raiding at mythic level and 20+ keystones award the best gear.
Solo content is never going to award bis gear because it’s literally designed to be competes by anyone.
And if they did offer it (they won’t) it would be so difficult that solo players wouldn’t compete it anyways. Making it a waste of time.
If you are advocating for all the rewards to be kept only in group content you are gatekeeping.
Everyone isn’t interested in group content. So they somehow dont deserve to have a fun ilvl progression with scaling difficulty or like a solo dungeon mode which is common in many rpgs? Which this game is a part of.
They have progression which ends above normal raid ilvl.
Like deleting raids would make m+ better (because it’s a competitive mode for title.)
Making solo content the best gear doesn’t serve anyone. The same people out of content, will still be out of content.
Why wouldn’t content that’s harder reward you better gear faster ?
It’s harder…
The storms are easy to solo. You don’t have to group up, mobs share tags, you can tag whatever peeps are already tagging in the area without grouping with them.
Exactly, no need to change anything about solo content, who cares if “solo players” complain, they can just group up and run a key if they’re so bored.
Well, if you insist that partially controlled AI parties should award the best gear I won’t stand in your way – since that would be more challenging than having three other people fully control party roles.
But if you prefer to play the relatively easier way, which would be m+ groups, that route will fully be open to you.
Solo play awards gear. It’s just not awarding the best gear nor should it.
And no that’s not gatekeeping.
Every single account has the opportunity to do the same content if you choose not to do it that’s your decision.
If you choose not to do the content that wards the gear that’s your decision and no one else’s problem.
You as a solo player do have a gear progression system. You just don’t like it because it doesn’t award bis and it’s never going too.
Just get Blizzard allow you to multibox without keyclone software. On one wow license. Ask for that instead.
Or just slap open group finder, start a group or find a group.
Boom, more gear.
Alternatively, ask for a “Solo only” game license where you pay 5$ a month but all instance portals and queuing is disabled.
There is never going to be an si system that awards the best gear.
Yeah no keep thinking that.
Now I know you’re trolling because solo content is flat out braindead. Anyways I’m off to shoot 9 ball. Have a good night.
Well, if just saying that makes you feel better, go for it. I’m hopeful Blizzard understands this is the future of MMOs before it’s too late. It’s coming regardless and will be normal in all future successful MMOs. The only question is if Blizzard is going to be part of trailblazing it or not.
Most of the MMO who promote solo play aren’t successful at all.
The success of MMOs depend on people forming attachment to friends to play the watered down RPG experience they provide.
I agree with you assessment.
You will have an easy time just gearing through mythics. You still have to do group content to be able to use the catalyst. Low keystones easily out gear that.
Coming from someone who geared there characters for lfr. Its much faster to just do mythics.
Also waiting for rares to spawn is horrible.
Game should be more than group or die.
If you don’t offer other meaningful alternatives in playstyle then more people will stop playing.

What like wow vanilla? As I recall that was a pretty successful game. It made huge inroads in the soloability of MMOs. That progress shouldn’t have stopped. Not to mention the fact that final fantasy has started incorporating AI parties and is taking a lot of wow subs with it.
Especially with the huge advancements AI is making these days. Imagine being able to coordinate with an AI team by discussing strategies and having the AI react like a human would. It is indeed the future. You not liking it is irrelevant.
Yeah but Mythics are harder, thus should make it easier to gear through.
That’s kinda how it works. Risk vs Reward.
I’m sorry but I fully solo’ed Catalyst. 0 grouping. This is 100% false information.
You need 0 rare spawns for Overflow/sigil.
