Mage tower was successful because of all the elitist players that flocked to it in order to flex that sick mog. That’s what’s going to happen with any hard challenge. The elitist will flock to it, and ruin it for the solo players because that solo player is going to come on to the forums and claim Blizzard is once again catering to the elite.
You don’t really get anything from doing it on higher levels. It just increases the drop chance slightly while giving you a smaller margin of error to actually get flawless. I just run it on 10, even though I have good gear.

I’ll link you mine if you link yours! That’s pretty much the point. Both sides are arbitrarily deciding who is in the minority and who is the majority. If all anyone can say is “solo players are the majority”, then the only response necessary is "no they aren’t " and both statements have equal weight.

Drawn up by the thoughts I think
You are the one making the claim. I have made no claim.
Also define “solo player” so we understand how you categorize people into that group.
The overwhelming majority of content in the game is solo content. If you and your friends avoid all solo content and also avoid having anything to do with people who do any solo content, you are in a small minority.

The “elitists”/raiders quickly completed their towers or got their book mount, so it would be mostly casuals/unsuccessful solo-players standing outside… and the area was jampacked with players 24/7 from what I remember
Actually I say my definition of casuals are the actual majority.
Solo players aren’t in that actual definition though.

Well written. Although, I’m sure not every hardcore/streamer is this way but I have met ppl who are legit like the one dude from the Warcraft episode of Southpark. Beyond sad.
I can’t believe how many ppl seem to be triggered.
I’m curious what I am now. For months now I do the dailies, sometimes do TW, chipping away at Loremaster and I did the Guardian mage tower.
I’m having a lot of fun mostly playing solo and talking to bnet friends while I do so

I’m pretty sure “solo player” only has one definition; people who play on their own or only do content that they can queue into on their own.

That is normal stuff you can do playing 2-3 hours a day, hell even 4 nothing wrong with that.
Personally, I like the approach of growing power in the world from doing stuff in the world, and not from ilvl itself. I really enjoy the 9.2 systems on paper for solo play.
If you enjoy solo gameplay as much as I do, you have to be frustrated with our content often being quick catch-ups for people who wish to jump into more challenging group content. That crap has bugged me so much about this expansion. Early casual progression absolutely trucked the value of solo queue content so early.
Let me have progression, but give me reasons to want to run stuff like LFR, TW or LFD, right? I do miss warforging and stuff like the MOP upgrades. I wish valor trickled into LFD and I could upgrade that gear to the achievement-based plateau. But I’m all for world content not being a path to the highest gear progression.
Ilvl is such a dull reward after a while.

That’s how much I’m roughly on a day, which is a lot to me. I’m sure I could have jumped into keys again if I wanted to in that amount of time but, I just do not enjoy them anymore.

Streaming is their job. It’s paying their bills.

Someone like Hazel seems to have it together. Kind, her home looks clean and she seems like a well rounded person in every way.
Their job is based how many people give them money. For me that’s like dancing next to traffic light waiting for someone to give you money.
I will say, I watched a bit of YouTube the other day and it’s really cringe how many ppl are like “Click that bell, smash this, do that.” They want views/fans so bad. Idk there is more to life. But, I’m probably just getting old with my mentality.
Depends on how big they are. Most top ones get ad revenue and sponsors.
However I agree that it’s nothing more than pan handling.

That’s because the more people that click the bell smash the like button and follow the more revenue they can potentially earn.
