How to incentivize high level players to run BFD and Gnomer with lower level players:

Have the bosses drop Tarnished Undermine Real, but only if players lower than level 30 contribute to dps and healing in BFD, and for Gnomer it would be players lower than 50.

Edit: this would also incentivize lower level players to run those raids as well, so they could have some real as soon as they hit 60.

the incentive is for you to pay a 60 tank 30g to boost you through it.

From my alliance experience on Crusader strike, most guilds run atleast 1 a week for alts or new players.

I dont see why blizz would actively want to incentivize 60’s going into 25 and 40 content. Thats like giving a reason for them to boost stockades, people already do just for gold.

What if you don’t have that kind of gold? not everyone has the gold to afford boosts, many people could be returning players trying to get their mains geared up while leveling because they quit after phase 1, or something like that.

Edit: Oh, i know how we can create a better incentive: give BRD, Gnomer, and ST mounts for players to farm.

there is a mount in gnomer. Thing is its kinda bad design to give an ā€œincentiveā€ for people to do low level content. Like I said though best way to get into a gnomer/BFD/ST is to just join a guild that does 1 a week or just get the Bulletin board addon and look for one forming. Most usually have a 60 or two in them anyways.

IMHO its kinda stupid to expect others to boost you for absolutely free. Of course lots of people like myself tank gnomer/BFD weekly for free for guildies if they need help but unless you can find those people, your SoL. Also until ST you really dont need to do the leveling raids anymore. Between stockades/SM/ and incursions you can hit 45 in a day or 2 then go into content 60’s want to do.

realised your horde so idk what is equivelent to stockades, but im sure theres wailing caverns or SFK boosters or groups going on lots.

and as I said, many people just don’t have the gold for boosting, so we have to work around that.

I dont think anything has to be worked around here. Also almost anyone has atleast 45g a day from the current event, so if you want to have a 60 boost you pay for it gamer

uh, dude, not everyone has a level 60 character.

Also, boosting has never really been a moral or just thing, as people who are new to SoD are locked out of it due to not having the gold.

finding a way, other than gold, to incentivize people to play old content, is a perfectly reasonable suggestion to make.

I think there is some with the mount and toys that drop in Gnomer. BFD might need something.

Blizzard’s never cared about ā€˜old content’.

It’s why, in Retail, there’s hardly anything to do; 20 years worth of content. Yet only that last 9 days (new expansion, yo!) of it are worth doing.

The level scaling thing did a bit to help with that, but only for alts. There’s zero reason for ā€˜the main’ to run around in Outlands or even Dragon Isles.

Outside of ST we can 1-2 man the other 2 raids. So this wouldn’t work.

Would go a long way if they drastically increased the drop rate of all the toy items etc. I would carry noobs for a guaranteed trogg transfigurator

Why would high level players even think twice about wanting to go back in to bfd and gnomer? Those are basic leveling raids.

I don’t get why they kept lockouts for those low level raids.

they honestly should just remove the lockouts and retune those raids for 5 player groups.

At least, for bfd, honestly.
