As an often-solo player, I love both of these options for gameplay.
I’d really like it, though, if we could control our followers just a little.
In dungeons, for example, it seems like the followers use bloodlust/heroism halfway through the first boss fight, which means it may not be available for the end boss, where it might be more useful. (Or when the NPCs go jumping around like Vanilla PvPers and butt-pull every mob within 40 yards.)
In delves, Brann will sometimes use his big abilities - gryphadin* or dinosaur egg - when there’s just one mob that’s not even an elite.
Maybe something like an extra action button: “NPCs burn cooldowns NOW.”
- Thank you for fixing this. No more Brann getting stuck in walls, yay.

I totally agree, but I would like to add that I wish they would make Heroic and mythic follower dungeons too

I’m on board with Heroic. Mythic, which I do NOT do, I think should be left the preserve of a cooperating team of humans. I would like to have the follower dungeons more challenging for sure though.
I was super happy when we had that new all earthen group first time doing the quest in rookery. Then…the bad came back. Please give a choice of NPCs. Please.
That’s a super idea right there.
It was 100x worse in beta. If you went in as a tank, the primary NPC was also a tank, so it was impossible to position mobs and minimize chaos.
Fortunately Blizz fixed that. If you go in as a tank now, the primary NPC is just plain ol’ DPS.
And it was also nice that you’d get the extra action button in the last part of the dungeon, to let you target the stormrook rider’s AOE! More of that, please.
They could add an option where you can order your followers to save Lust for the beginning of the final boss at the beginning of the Dungeon.
Likewise, you could have an option where you could get Brann to use his big abilities only on Elites, or when you’re facing an imminent death-type situation.
I’m sorry but some of you guy’s are insane. I love good solo content, I think WoW needs more of it.
But they could just make leveling good. Instead of a boring experience that’s over in 5 hours.
Who on earth even thinks to take heroic dungeons and give the player AI to beat it? That’s the WORST way to develop good solo content I can imagine.
Follower dungeons exist. If they’re not for you, that’s fine.
However, lots of people really like them, and these are suggested improvements. They have zero impact on your gameplay.

It does effect me. It’s a waste of developer time that could be used to make ACTUAL solo content. Instead of recycling 5 man content to be soloable.
I think it would be fun to be able to “program” elements of your party like this. Hopefully down the road Blizzard develops this more. It’s the future of MMOs imo. Blizz could trailblaze it.

As a guardian Druid, I have just started ignoring the followers except to see if they still follow. The “AI” is insane in the way it moves through dungeons and switches targets. As long as everyone is still standing then it is all good. Though sometimes I want to punch the followers as well.
A button to control their major cooldowns would be nice. Chances are I won’t need it but when I do then it will be another tool in the arsenal.

Because endgame toxicity is terrible, and Blizz really doesn’t do anything about it. If you send a complaint, all they will do is make it look like that player is put ignore to the plaintiff. This is their way of dealing with the toxicity. Instead, they should actually punish the player (3 Day Ban possibly), otherwise they will just play goes on being toxic to others thinking that there is no recourse for their actions.
Also, the complain options window needs to have a tab for Toxicity complaints with a drop menu (with options) so that the complaint is record properly.
And lastly, with ALL complaints, Blizzard needs to start sending a detailed report of the action that was, or will be made, back to the player that made the initial complaint. Whether the complaint was about something in the game, ie: Something that is bugged, or a player that is doing something unethical.
To be fair, if you are the subject of a complaint, Blizzard needs to not be so lazy and actually give a detailed description of what is being complained about to the defending player, ei: written or a screenshot.
We pay a lot of money to play this 20 year old game, WE, the players are the legs that keep Blizzard in business and it is WE the players that should be the top of information chain.
