Mythic+ Has Hurt Raiding

I don’t care if raiders have better gear. I care about my own progression, my character.

I also raid, surprise!!! although casually, i’m still in there every week killing mythic bosses.

I don’t care what gear raiders have. I’ll repeat this. It doesn’t matter to me whatsoever. I just think your logic of trying to lower M+ a tier just so that raiding feels more rewarding is wrong. It makes no sense, and up until recently (which by the way we couldn’t even upgrade a weapon more than once a week with valor) you probably weren’t disenchanting gear.

Make raiding better for the sake of raiding, no one is going to magically want to commit to 8 hours a week because m+ is worse.

true
reality is that if you make m+ worse less people will just play

and all of this goes under the assumption that people are purely motivated by gear. im not, if i was i would have retired until next tier a while ago

If there’s a lot of downtime, it’s just a bad group tbh. I’ve been in pugs where people talk for 5 minutes between each pull and it’s awful.

No, you can get the same ilvl gear from M+ vault. That’s why gear from mythic bosses keeps getting disenchanted even from first kills, which feels bad.

regardless of your opinion, Blizzard considers M+16 the same difficulty as Mythic Eranog.
as They both are the starting point for Concentrated Primal Focus rewards.

I’m not either. M+ gearing literally could be thrown into a vacuum and I would be happy. It still wouldn’t make me want to raid anymore than I already do everyweek.

Trust me - I could find a 9 hour a week serious CE pushing raid team. But guess what? I don’t enjoy raiding. Has nothing to do with gear.

yeah but the raid has the best trinkets and a lot of very good weapons etc
and its highest ilvl is 424. m+ only people will never see a 424.

its not just ilvl, but what the items are themselves too
i dont have that many 421 yet vault still manages to troll me, so ive gotten sidegrades from first few bosses mythic. its mostly the problem that you get what, 4-5 items per boss to be split between 20 people? once a week?

i kinda agree with them lol

rightfully so that boss does nothing

literally heroic but woooooooooh the boss has two rings!

i remember from sepulcher h>m vigilant guardian being a larger step up than h>m eranog but maybe im misremembering

Terros is like the first actual challenge and that boss just has a horrible drop table in general.

They kinda messed up only putting in 2 super rare items, one being off the second boss and the vault having a slot at 2/8, well i forgot the ring too off of eranog, which gets lumped into 2/8

It’s better to just kill up to primal council than trying to prog up to kurog

Mythic Eranog is a joke so that’s accurate.

But that’s what I’m saying. If keys were tuned differently, you would have the same progression, the ilvl on gear would just be lower, but it wouldn’t make a difference because the key levels would be tuned accordingly. Then you could further progress your character by doing mythic raids.

It makes no sense that dungeons give the same gear as raids. The progression throughout the game has always been dungeons → raids. Most people don’t even have AOTC because Heroic Raszageth is hard, and yet it drops the same ilvl gear that you can get from your vault for completing a +15. It’s a joke.

instead of forcing raiders to do m+, we force m+ runners to raid?
id prefer no one feel compelled to do anything they dont want to

I mean that’s your opinion.

Still doesn’t mean it makes sense for blizzard logically to lower m+ a tier because you don’t feel rewarded late in the tier.

But still it won’t make people want to raid and I think you’re missing this.

another problem with raiding is the fact you need to find a guild to do it properly and a lot of people cba or simply cant find a fit

especially with mythic, the lockout system makes it pretty unpuggable except guilds trying to emergency fill 1-2 slots

the responsibility of forming and running a raiding guild is massive too

Only if they want to raid. If all they want to do is M+ and they can get good enough gear from M+, they don’t need to raid. The issue is right now you need to do M+ because it gives better gear than Heroic.

thing is that people who actually like m+ are pushing
if raiding drops higher ilvl than m+, then they will be compelled to raid to keep pushing key levels
there’s a big overlap between top keyers and being 8/8m with pieces from raid anyway

I genuinely think that you believe that people are motivated by gear, and not the fact that raiding is a full time commitment.

Like I said - scroll up and read the comments. These people won’t be raiding if m+ is worse. They will just be playing less.

You’re making my point for me. If you cba to find a guild to raid, you don’t deserve mythic gear.

Same reason I don’t deserve gladiator gear and mounts because I cba to PvP.

Out of all the opinions in this thread, this is certainly one of them. :thinking: :grimacing:

Their goal was to make raiding more popular, btw.

Only logical solution is to make m+ worse, of course.
