For me its playing with Randos is not much fun. I enjoy the massive world and seeing many people play. But for group content I rather it be more coop like. If I have friends that still play or if Im chill with my guild and want to group with them I can - and it will make content easier.
However if I want to go slowly and do things on my own time I would have the ability to do so. Like in Delves or follower dungeons. Make the followers scale off of my Ilvl so I can slowly build my way up in Mythics or whatever else. If I have a friend(s) on they can jump in too and make the dungeon easier (since real players should be better then AI bots).
As a person who likes some solo in my MMOs, I still find this to be a pretty weird take.
If you just want to not play with other people, why don’t you just play a single player game that almost certainly has better gameplay mechanics, storyline, etc?
Who’s demanding multiplayer be removed though. I think the real issue is that when solo friendly content is added the hard core, group-focused players swarm it as a means to shortcut their own goals. As a primarily solo player I actually don’t care that they do that but I do care when Blizz comes in hard to nerf or complicate the new content like Delves. Also there is always the reference to solo players wanting things to be easy. Not true but it should also not be tuned such that solo is harder than doing it in a group.

“sipping my coffee between pull”
you really really do not need to play an mmo, there are many games you can do this activity. turn based strats for example.
Everyone is a freaking snowflake, they want the game in a way that only a marginal group can play.
You know what, if you are not happy with the current state, you should make your own game.
Actually sipping my coffee while playing is what an MMO is about. Then some Elitist said I need to be pressing 1,000 buttons a minute and be perfectly efficient and only pull the correct number and move faster and faster. Sorry that isn’t enjoyable and it never will be. That isn’t what an MMO is about. Stop trying to make MMO’s into that.

What an MMO is about in your head is a bit different than the majority, but it is ok. keep sipping your coffee while having 5 apm =)
What he’s thinking IS the majority mindset.

If this forum is any indicator, Id say we have about a 30% chance or so of hating any interaction with players in game given the ongoing problematic persons here.
If the ratios are the same…
I largely gave up on group content years ago, when they added M+ into the game, I found them annoying to run and they took any form of progression out of raiding since most of the gear didn’t come from the raids anymore when M+ were easier and faster.
Now the most fun content I do is delves which I can and do completely solo.

Bring back multiboxing so I can not play with you guys.
Actually I’m stating what the majority wants thank you.
Bingo
PS - Dungeons and Raids are a very small part of an MMO.

Playing an MMO with Friends is nearly unbeatable
Playing it with anyone else… not so much.

They need to improve on follower dungeons. Their pretty bad as it is and i was looking for to them.
I was finally able to do DF when they packed it into the battle chest. I tried Follower Dungeon. Set it to where the npc’s led. The tank didn’t bother to hold aggro and the healer didn’t heal. I got dropped really fast despite only attacking the tanks targets.
Because those are subjective things some ppl not gonna find in a SP RPG. I love the class option WoW offers, I doubt Elden Ring, Witcher 3, or FF16 gonna fill that void
Class mounts, living breathing world that gets updated, tons of transmog options for fashion, professions, dragon flying, aesthetic, lore, and tons of races to choose from.
Ppl loosely throw around the sentence “Just play SP ARPG if you want to play solo instead” too much. If there was a game that offered me all of the things I listed I’d be playing it instead
But seeing there isn’t… This is all I got.

You know what, after delve i kinda agree.
Look, i just can’t muster the patience to be all friendly with new people all the time i will do mythic or raids, if im not doing with my group on discord i rather not do it. And since my guild is dead and most of the friends i play with are gone, i rather do delves.
Delves is something fantastic to me, cause its not a faceroll content, i think its as hard as some mythics, so the rewards are ok(need to fix the damn duplicates tough) and i can just pause, to do something. People who have kids or elderly parents know what im talking about, or someone who need to answer a call, do work, or anything else.
Basically, a content that is not bound by the clock or other people, great new way to play wow.

I dunno man. I like playing in an open world adjacent to other people without having to actually deal with them. Makes the game I’m playing feel “alive” I guess. Ain’t really that deep.

That is certainly one of the takes of all time.
Personally I’d uninstall so fast if I couldn’t play WoW with friends and occasionally dumpster them on the meters.
It’s nothing like that, because this MMO offers solo play.
It’s more like going to Burger King and getting a chicken sandwich, then listening to someone whine like a toddler that it’s called Burger King and they should only order burgers, even though chicken is on the menu.
