Could we hope to have Dragonflight legacy loot sooner than Midnight?
There was a brief time during the Dragonflight beta that Shadowlands instances had legacy loot, but that was switched off before launch and only one piece of loot is guaranteed from bosses when it’s like that. Then we’re at The War Within now, Shadowlands is on Legacy Loot which is awesome especially for Sepulcher since a great amount of Warbound tier tokens drop this way. At this point in the expac you only need a small amount of people to clear a Heroic Dragonflight raid but unless you get a lot of people, not a lot of loot drops. Some people can even solo them with good gear but again, one piece of loot only. Dragonflight is a great expac for mog collecting since all of the tiers have class sets so it would be fun to collect, especially once the LFR solo queue option comes in one of the next patches.
Base game players are currently doing Dragonflight and while not as vocal, this kind of messes with them as there are level 70 max guilds who are doing the raids.
There could be simple safeguards in the system to prevent Legacy Loot from messing with people who are doing the expac as their current content, if there aren’t already. Legion legacy loot was activated during BFA’s run.
I’m just saying that this whole “because DF is the new player experience and there are max level 70 guilds that want to do this content” is irrelevant to legacy loot.
