There are active communities that play last expansion PVP and raid, it has been that way for a while. I keep an account without DF to play with such folks. Last night we raided Fated Sep, today, Blizz stealth removes fated raids.
Of the long list of things that need fixing, this is what someone worked on today?
Most here will not care, but Blizz is going to run people off from a game they are trying to love with absurdity like this. Who did this hurt? Are you trying to make people buy DF, a lot of us tried it and want nothing of it - we sorta like the mounts we farmed for years thank you.
Fix what is broken and stop taking away fun!

As expected, most below do not get it. Blizz takes away fun and loses subs, just a few here and there but over time, it hurts us all. Less money to hire devs for the things you find fun. Xmog folks that “reported” had the option of two non-fated raids per week, and if you wanted the third “git gud” as so many holler on here so often, they were not that hard at 70.
November 23, 2022, Blizzard posted patch notes for Dragonflight launch
Shadowlands raids and word bosses have returned to their previous difficulties and are no longer Fated.
Fated raids stopped after dragonflight launch
If you’re going to make a “I hate dragonflight lul”
Sad story at least get your scenarios right

Fated raids still existed until last week, but I think they realized that 304/311 gear was making twinks too overpowered in the level 60 battleground bracket. Unlike regular twinks, level 60s on accounts without dragonflight can queue into battlegrounds with regular leveling players since they don’t have to lock their xp (since they can’t level up into Dragonflight levels).
Additionally, since there is no way to turn fated off when the raid is fated, transmog groups had extra difficulty than they would want when farming old raids. Castle nathria was scaled up by more than 50% to be fated, for example.

Fated raids was a Season 4 thing since it had no raid.
Blizzard finally noticed and turned it off

I don’t believe it was stealth at all

Your post is incorrect, it did not stop at DF release, it ended yesterday.
Did you honestly expect a feature designed ONLY for Season 4 of Shadowlands to carry over into Dragonflight?
I doubt they intended the fated season to continue after that final season of SL, they probably just forgot about it in the rush to get DF issues resolved.

Well it did.
I play with a lot of people that did not buy DF, and do not want to. They pay subs, and that money helps this small indie company maybe hire competent devs for all of you that like DF. I hate DF, some love it, to each his own, but there is a cost to all of us when blizz detects fun and removes it.
This is a big win for us transmog farmers! I had put in a bug report a week ago about Fated affix still being up even though season 4 ended >>;

Xmog guys couple farm the two that were not fated each week. Fated was on a one up rotation since DF. Taking fun out of the game and running a few dozen more folks off is not good for any of us.
All three raids were fated simultaneously.

Can we at least make up believable stories

Honestly the amount of people who are actively running fated raids as their main source of content is an order of magnitude less than those wanting to farm the raids for xmog. The unfortunate reality is that the group you’re in is too small to be considered.

Unless something changed, all three should have been fated as that is how it was for like the last month of SL season 4.
No, it was one fated, on rotation, and two not fated per week since DF launch. That seems like it was intentional. People obviously complained, it seems, and blizz stealth removed.
bruh it was a hotfix because it wasn’t supposed to be that way after df launch. just because you’re butt hurt doesn’t make it a stealth nerf. lol
Because it made farming old mogs harder than it should be, and because an affix that was supposed to have been removed after season 4 was still there for some reason.

Fated was never intended to last from the beginning. It wasn’t news, it was always presented that way–heavy emphasis on the limited time achievement and collectible mount especially.
If anything, you’re lucky you got some extra, but very much unintended time with that difficulty since you seem to be so fixated on it.
I want to be more sympathetic, but even I knew Fated raids weren’t going to stay, and I’m not an active raider–just someone who can read.
