Well, heroic is only difficult the first week or two, same as M+ up to 15.
I would agree that the +15 rewards are a bit overtuned, but that does not bother me. I enjoy the gameplay loop of farming valor and getting upgrades early on in a patch cycle.
The rewards of M+ could definitely be adjusted. What would your opinion on a lower End of Dungeon/Vault reward, but a higher cap on upgrade be?
Say, using current item levels, M+ rewards out of the vault were capped at 298, but if you were able to push your IO up super far, like 2500 or 3000, you could use your valor to upgrade those items up to 304 or 311.
At some point, a +25 is leagues harder than the first six bosses of a mythic raid.
So put the 304 loot (or whatever equivalent at the time) behind 20s. But the amount of people I’ve seen in mythic guilds who find 15s to be difficult content is not insignificant. Some people have a hard time in content where their raid leader isn’t telling them what to do.
This is exactly what should change. A 25 is clearly much harder than a 15. They need to rebalance the rewards so that they scale past 15 (probably to around 25 cap).
25 should award 311, scaling down from there. A 16 should be around heroic raid ilvl.
And it should not award GV credit unless you time it.
Did I say it should be below LFR? No. I clearly put the earliest M+ gear as on par with NORMAL raid… and honestly the biggest problem with M+ gear is that Blizzard keeps using M+ gear as the requirement for LFR… which, you are right, M+ shouldn’t be below LFR and never used as an LFR requirement either.
I stopped raiding after Legion, different job more work…no time to raid… I guess it’s completely acceptable to say something like God damn casuals and it’s okay because that’s not derogatory at all is it, right? is that what you’re saying?
Sorry for having more money and getting debt free instead of worrying about how high of a mythic plus key I can push…
From my experience alone, once you break out of the 15 mark, it gets less toxic.
When you start playing with people who know how to communictae, rotate through CD’s/Def CD’s, etc it gets less toxic.
You don’t need to apologize for your opinion, just don’t try spreading it as fact.
M+ was a great feature, I’ve never had more fun than when I’m doing M+.
