Do they?
I’ve been playing a lot of mythic plus this season, raised one toon to 2700 and working on another to hit 3k.
Of all the pugs I’ve been in, I have seen exactly 1 rogue. What happened? It’s like they don’t exist anymore

They weren’t a very good rogue if you saw them.

Rogues are very underplayed due to being fairly clunky and not all that fun to play, as they previously were.
Lots of buttons to press, not very cohesive or simple like other classes.
They are in dire, dire need of Paladin-level class rework.
I loved my Rogue in Wrath, and in MoP.
But it feels they’ve been left behind.

Used to main rogue. The problem is it takes 10x more effort than other classes to get the same output. It’s a high required skill floor that doesn’t pay off the way it should. Couple that with it being the worst class in the game to do solo content with, and you don’t see many people playing it.

My problem with Outlaw is the hard 8 Target Cap. Anytime the pulls go over that I’m essentially worthless.
Killing Spree was also horrible, but that’s being removed next patch. Finally.
lmao.

I mean… ? the biggest, burning question you have about modern m+ is do rogues exist ?
Im not raiding so i cant attest to that but i play my outlaw rogue(s). So yes they do exist.
I’ve been mainly playing Outlaw for the last month and absolutely love it. So excited for the new Killing Spree coming in 11.2 that will no longer be a stressful fear of getting killed when using it.
Unfortunately, Rogues are doing pretty poorly on the PTR right now and have gotten zero attention from the devs other than that one change to killing spree. There’s still a month left for tuning but right now they are looking pretty grim, which def affects what specs people are currently trying to prep for the new season.

One rogue replied to your thread, so they do exist. A good rogue goes unnoticed.

Rogue here. Mained a rogue since January 2005. The class has felt a bit stale lately so I hope some changes are coming soon to improve general gameplay. I am not complaining about class balance - I am talking about mechanics, skill rotations, etc.

You posted on a Priest, very Rogue-like to disguise your true identity.

I can’t speak for others, but I would disagree with this.
I do solo content just fine.

Ehh I’m loving my rogue currently. Usually not a huge fan of sub and prefer sin but pvping as sub has been fun and felt really good. I can’t imagine once I actually get gear.

It’s not great but I’m not going to suddenly wanna main another class because my favorite thing to do is stealth and AFK wherever I want

Because solo content is designed to have 100% completion I don’t think he’s saying rogues can’t do solo content.
Out of all the classes in the game I would agree rogues have the most annoying solo content play. Unless you can stealth past and ignore things you generally can’t pull big groups as easily as most classes.
That’s generally where rogues don’t do as well compared to others. It’s more of an “annoyance” than an actual “cant do it”

When you are not part of the meta crowd, even the rogue mains get left on the shelf in exchange for a competitive edge. My rogue picks pockets, farms junk boxes, and goes after old mounts for me. She has been boring since the start of BfA.

Rogue is probably the lowest played class in the game.
i noticed rogue type characters aren’t popular in mmos lol i think cuz it’s pvp base and most pvp in mmos are crap
Au contraire, I’d argue it’s as it mostly always has been. Rogue’s gameplay is supremely archaic.
