Fun fact. N’Zoth was technically solable at one point prior to the talent revamp and with borrowed power on one particular class on one particular spec (arcane mage). Of course that’s no longer possible now. Not even on heroic.

Because that was the stated philosophy of Blizzard themselves all the way up to Shadowlands. Something about understanding that mog farming was an engaging activity for a sizeable portion of the player base and all of that.

Because soloing old raids for transmogs, mounts and pets is incredibly popular. Everything does not have to be for you.

Then you would think it would be super easy to find a few like minded players and get it done…
Should be, but that also negates the entire “solo” part of that comment lol.

True, but are we that opposed to grouping now?
Mount drops are already quite a commitment, no thanks dividing the drop chance 3 to 5.

Ghuun mythic to my knowledge still needs like 12-18 people who know how to play basketball. Ghuun normal and heroic still need more then they have any right to considering the rest of the raid is in the 10 second boss range and this is because of the same mechanic. Mythrax auto kills you several seconds into the pull. I don’t mind soloing these raids being challenging but having mechanics that outright make it impossible should be removed at this point.
Also “find a group” lol this is a weekly amusement for when you have nothing better to do, If I had people to play with I’d be doing dragonflight content instead of farming old raids.

Honestly, I don’t really care if they are not wasting time updating older content to make it something you can solo. Sure if they have nothing else to do with the current or future game, then knock yourself out.
So in other words, as long as they’re 100% focused on the content you play, you’re content?

Well I did say “Sure if they have nothing else to do with the current or future game, then knock yourself out.”
I guess you just ignored that part because it didn’t fit your argument…
Prior to the level squish in SL the rule was 11 levels, which was 2 expansions. I was soloing WoD raids and lower during the first patch of BFA.

I’ve never assumed they have free time, so I don’t think this statement ever applies.

All bosses? What about Blast Furnace on Mythic?
Hmm, okay, they changed that in Jan 2018 so before BFA even hmm.
Did they change everything though?
I used to solo TBC raids at the end of wrath, and wrath raids at the end of cata
Guess we’re not allowed to do that anymore cuz chuds got involved and wanna make everything a chore

Wasn’t that more due to lack of mechanics that made them unable to be soloed? And at that point, wasn’t literally all bosses (Like Valithria) Which I think people just walked past.
No, bosses required you to do specific things to solo some of them (heroic lich king) and the green dragon skip wasn’t added til later

It’s been a few years.
Is that the one with a furnace on 2 sides that needed to be put out? If so, yes but I don’t recall the challenge level. I also killed Blackhand a number of times while I was there.
Edit: It was mythic for Hellfire Citadel and Blackrock Foundry on my horde shaman Bravic.
Never really liked Ion, I always viewed him as a scourge upon this game. >.>

Yeah we are way past the time where we should have been able to solo these raids with ease. And another fun thing i noticed while trying to solo the tazavesh dungeon, the last boss has a mechanic that requires you to be in a group or its gonna take 99% reduced damage, it took 45 min to kill it. They are going out of their way to put solo preventing roadblocks in place. And when it comes to BFA raids i said to myself back then that oh boy this is gonna be a problem in a few years when people wanna come back and solo
