It's good to see Ion believes M+ loot is too good

How long would people play the game if they could /dance for gear?

Meanwhile, look at the engagement for M+ and how it has driven retention.

Imagine being this wrong, lol.

i wonder if there’s any mythic raiders out there, who don’t do mythic +(lol unicorn probably not), they’d prob have the best opinion on this

No, you don’t get any loot unless you kill the boss. That’s exactly how raids work.

And loot isn’t the reason M+ is so popular. It’s because you don’t need to plan 3 hour sessions twice a week and organize 20 people to do it. A lot of players no longer have the time to devote to raiding that they used to. Are you really saying it would be better to lose those players just to make raiders feel special?

They don’t. They claim they hate M+ but most of them secretly like it, they’re just mad that their “prestige” is slightly diminished.

I mean, if Max, the hardcore-hardcore Mythic Raider guy who lives for raiding enjoys M+, it’s pretty obvious people enjoy M+ across the spectrum. It’s just forum posturing. M+ is the best thing this game has pretty much ever done, short of letting players solo level back in Vanilla.

You wouldnt believe how many players my team had to force to do a weekly key when i was raiding M uldir/BoD…

People like easier things for their rewards. A vendor that let you dance with them for the best gear in the game would massively increase player retention and subscriptions. People have absolutely no concern for rewards meaning anything, they just want them.

Imagine being this wrong, lol.

It would not. They would get their gear, and then quit.

Kekw.

There’s no way that gear is the reason why m+ is so popular, bruh.

It’s on-demand PvE content that can be as chill or as difficult as you want it to be with only 5 people.

This thread is about how M+ destroys normal/heroic raiding, not mythic raiding.

Sick of hearing this FOTM forum warrior meme word.

You can enjoy M+ and not have to be rewarded with ridiculously inflated ilvl loot for failure.

Ok, so there’s no problem lowering the ilvl right? Cause it’s not about the loot…

The whole point of M+ is to time the key. You fail that, but still finish, you get awarded with extra inflated ilvl loot.

In a raid, even when you complete it, you still get just standard ilvl, no inflation or anything. And if you aren’t good enough to kill a boss, you get NOTHINg. Not good enough to time a M+ key? That’s ok, you get mythic raid ilvl loot anyway!

That would only disadvantage people who like both content depending on how the +item level in X content is scaled

Leaves less options for customising stats

And makes those folk basically farm 2 sets of gear

Personally idc, I only M+,

Only the mediocre heroic raiders are upset about M+ loot :joy:

I haven’t actually watched the interview, but if Wowhead’s summary is accurate Ion didn’t say that at all.

Can’t y’all just do keys because you want to do keys?

Mythic+ is actually awesome though. It’s just in a weird spot where it’s massively over rewarding on the low and and yet not rewarding enough at the very high end.

Easy fix. Put a stat on Raid gear that makes it useless in all content except for raiding, but make raiding require it. Raiding guilds will finally get that old school progression feel back that they come here and claim to want, and the rest of WoW can be rid of their whining.

Easier fix. Remove inflated ilvl loot from M+. Require a timed key to be eligible for GV loot. Scale the ilvl from m+ higher than 15, but reduce it across the board so that heroic ilvl loot is awarded from something around m18, and mythic loot around M25.

I do do keys, and I want to continue to be able to do keys.

But apparently I have to come to these forums every so often because raiders keep whining about M+ gear when its already a %%%%ing joke. M+ gear is DOG-%%%% and yet we still have cringe complaint threads, it’s actually insane to me.

It isn’t fair if M+ loot isn’t as high of an ilvl as raid loot.
But also it isn’t about the loot, we just like M+.
But also raiders are just trying to gatekeep ilvl.
But also ilvl doesn’t matter.

The cognitive dissonance is palpable.

There is literally no reason to raid N/H if you want gear aside from select couple pieces, obviously a problem. We can at least all agree on this right?

Lying doesn’t really help your cause.

So, basically, you don’t want raid-progression to be kept within raiding, you’re just an AoTC player who thinks your content is hard (it is not), and want higher rewards? Got it. lol
