Make BFA raids soloable

Probably because you have no idea what he actually does, and instead just make up trolly BS like this post. :man_shrugging:

Same, because for almost every topic, the playerbase already did a lot of feedback and even their idea of Council created threads about those topics and all those are ignored or they pick the worst possible result.

Just wait 15 days, they’ll forget and include this new mount:

With a low % and a daily boost attempt…then players will have a massive backlash just like the last time they added a mount to the Anniversary World Boss. I hope this is not the case but they keep doing the same.

I agree but I don’t think it’s going to happen. They decided when 9.0 dropped that they did not want people soloing old raids anymore. The scaling “problems” that made soloing impossible when it was possible before, was not a bug or an accident, it was deliberate.

They want all content to be harder, and group content to remain group content instead of soloable, because it takes longer, and everything is time metrics now.

Beyond my understanding! It feels like they want to make their players agitated!
Maybe they don’t like to work on wow and trying to shut it down?
Only logical reason I can come up with!

It feels like the game is in worse shape now, even worse then in SL! We had way less bugs going on in SL!

Correct! And they seem to miss the fact that many like to farm old content SOLO!

I would be very surprised if this wasn’t a guaranteed drop like the dragonhawk is/was. But it’s Blizzard, so we’ll see. I really hope it’s not a worst case scenario though. It’s SO BLUE. I love blue.

A very curious thing. Id have been out of a job with the track record here, but maybe the tech industry doesnt expect performance?

Actually makes sense with more recent content being harder to solo.

The ones ive seen talking certainly prefer ilvl/stats over some cosmetic.
Maybe Ion is protecting more recent mogs for his own personal purpose rather than whats best for the game?

its been one of my conspiracty theories that someone on the team is working for the competition, lol

Or maybe we could do a quest, get a “Legacy Potion” that causes all BFA mobs to be 10X weaker… but only for an hour, and when the hour is up, they go back to normal.

And you have to gather ingredients for this potion from low level legacy dungeons and raids, and only max level herb/alchemy/engineer/ who has a high skill level for THAT xpack, can prepare the ingredients, and then someone with BFA alchemy 175 to mix the final potion.

Would give old profession skills some use. Or just sell the potion for 1000 tenders on the Trading Post. :slight_smile:

Oh hey thanks for the shoutout to the thread I made on this. I’ve made several others as well and I really don’t get why, in the expansion of “listen to the community and player feedback”, we can’t get anyone on that team to do a single tuning pass on BFA raids. We can’t even get legacy content enabled for Shadowlands yet somehow they found the time to implement solo LFR for all the Shadowlands raids? Insanity.

Also - Why do Shadowlands rares still have spec specific loot drops? Why can’t my Hunter, who can learn the transmog of swords, get the sword to drop from a Bastion rare? What is the point of that? There isn’t one.

I tried soloing one of BFA raid on my best toon. G’Hunn made a quick work of me in less than 3 seconds. Even when I dropped treants to draw aggro, I still died fast. Not that it mattered, it’d take 2 minimum to cover the sides at certain time. An adjustment for soloing would be nice.

PS if you happened to find long blue cluster of hair somewhere in Stormsong Valley, I am still missing one of my obscenely long night Elf eyebrow from G’Hunn encounter.

FYI you can easily solo up through Mythic Grong for a chance at all Druid set pieces. I just have pants and shoulders left. This assuming a decent ilvl. I’m 443.

Ion never mogged. He hasn’t played since Season 2 Shadowlands. His character doesn’t even appear in the armory anymore.

Even scarier. Someone who doesnt play the game is calling the shots?

A lifetime raid logger who never mogged or did professions and hasn’t played in a couple of years is calling the shots.

Adding all BFA to my mog n’ mount farm rotation would really open a new frontier. I can bully my way through most of Uldir but the second to last boss ends the fun.

My theory is Ion and Co are trying to protect the fragile ego of their precious raiders as long as possible. Can’t have us filthy casuals getting any of sets those poor raiders put blood, sweat and tears into getting too easily or the poor little raiders will have their precious egos bruised.
