I am actually a healer because of queues. I initially leveled my (then) main elemental shaman through the cata queues and when I wanted to level my priest I did not want to go through that. Even though I had never healed in my life I decided to go disc to avoid the queue times and wouldn’t you know, I fell in love with it.
Fun story time.
That’s an exaggeration, queues were never 2 hours long. Though it is besides the point.
That’s apparently already not incentive enough to get more people to tank/heal since that’s the case already and they feel the need to add the bags to increase tank/healer participation. If dps also get the bags then we are in the same situation now, where there is no additional incentive to tank/heal.
As dps… yes you would be in queue for 2+ hours. I remember paying tanks to queue and leave just so I could get a group
They absolutely were. Did you play Cata? A fast queue for my Shaman was 45 minutes. Tanks were selling queues to DPS and then leaving when they got in the dungeon to put the group at head of the line for a tank.
They actually had to make changes at that point so if the tank queued with people they would be removed from the group if the tank left… and eventually led to the creation of deserter debuff.
I have no recollection of ever waiting more than 40 minutes in queues let alone 2 hours
People who didn’t play Wrath like to make up nonsense like that. I averaged 15-20 minutes, which is vastly better than the non-RDF toxic experience where people will wait hours and hours, if they’re lucky.
Ok I’ll ask this.
Why would a tank run heroic + if they outgear it?
For the bribe bag. That is how it has worked since the creation in Cataclysm.
Why not spam regular dungeons instead?
Easier to farm, same bribe bag.
why would i run them as a tank/healer when i could just run them as a dps and still get the same rewards?
Because you wouldn’t have to wait
I clearly remember tanks selling queues. And they didn’t even tank the dungeon they just entered the dungeon and left so you could get in a group. Cause once the tank left your group got priority for next tank in queue. And this was all because it took hours for dps to get a queue pop
More badges in Heroic+.
Also again, this is not aimed at H+, we don’t even know if it will offer the bags, we only know for sure it is for Normal and Heroics.
Tanks sold queues but queues were never 2 hours long. I’ve played since The start of RDF and they were never that long.
Sure you do.
Stop trying to gaslight players who actually played Wrath.
Yep, then they changed it so if the tank left, anyone that queued with the tank was also removed from the group.
but then i’d be under the scrutiny of the dps players and blamed for any mistakes that happened even though it was clearly the hunter’s fault.
No one is talking about Wrath. Keep up. Bribe bags didn’t exist in Wrath.
You get more badges at tank in heroic+ or does everyone get more badges?
Why would I run heroic+ as tank if everyone gets the increased badges
