BfA raids are still not soloable and we are almost at the end of the second expansion past it. You still require the cloak to do N’Zoth, which requires doing a questline. Mechanics that should have been removed to pave the way for solo players. You added nerfs to Legion raid bosses in 9.1.5 (except the KJ knockback which is really odd considering you nerfed the Aggramar knockback) yet we didn’t get any BfA nerfs in 10.1.5.
Why is legacy content only considered that if it is 2 expansions old? the SECOND a new expansion comes out, do the previous expansion raids not move to the legacy section of the group finder. They ARE NOT current content, so why are they not made soloable for transmog collectors??? It boggles the mind as to why you persist with this outdated and ridiculous system. Every single .1.5 patch (or even .0.5) should nerf the previous expansion raids INTO THE GROUND and make them soloable. There are a number of ways to do this, you’ve used them in the past - the buff in ICC, the health and damage reduction in Blackrock Foundry.
Blizzard - please start thinking of collectors and make DF raids actually legacy content from early in The War Within. You will make all the transmog/mount/pet collectors happy, so why not do it? Why are you holding back on it?
Current BfA raid bosses that are absolutely not soloable: Mythrax, G’huun, Conclave, Jaina, Queen’s Court. There are probably others too that I can’t think of off the top of my head. Shadowlands has far less, I believe only Fatescribe, Kel’thuzad and Sylvanas would pose any real problem to solo
I’m sleeping on mog farming until we see what warband mog unlocking does, but yeah it’s absolutely ridiculous that they still haven’t fixed BfA raids yet.
For what it’s worth, these mechanics were always implemented during that raid’s expansion, sometimes even when the raid was the current endgame. They were were to nerf the content while it was still relevant, not to facilitate solo runs (that was just a bonus later down the line).
Anyway, Blizz has always gotten around to making legacy content mechanically soloable eventually. The time table for doing so has always been a point of contention (it’s never ‘soon enough’), but it’s only a question of when it’ll happen rather than if.
Numerical nerfs (damage requirements) are unlikely to happen anymore, since they’ve gone on record as saying gear progression should allow this to happen to everything ‘naturally’, so even something like the ‘legacy buff’ is probably never going to be seen beyond Legion raids.
And as a final note, Mythrax and G’huun are both soloable. The requirements are still fairly steep, but you can burst either of them down to skip their ‘unsoloable’ mechanics. G’huun can be killed while still buried in the wall so you don’t even have to deal with the orbs if you’re playing a spec that can’t solo run them (or you’re on mythic where they have to both be run at the same time). Again, these benchmarks are still pretty hard to reach especially as the difficulty increases, but they’ll still naturally be hit eventually and don’t really ‘require’ intervention from Blizzard to address.
This is my go to answer when I rant about the state of legacy mog farming right now. I can’t make myself do it because that open ended unlocking ruleset is right around the corner, and efficiency demands I wait.
But so help me, this time next expansion I bet these sorts of topics will get a lot louder if it’s not addressed!
