I don’t wish for larger raids to disappear. But I do wish we had another Throne of the Four Winds and Terrace set of raids. Idk I feel like Blizz could handle releasing a 4 boss raid with minimal trash along side a 10 boss raid, and just offset the 4 boss raid having a mythic difficulty to help deal with the tuning.
… if you’ve been doing it for the last 10-15 years.
I’d highly suggest you go watch a video of someone picking up WoW for the first time and then start thinking about everything you have to do to get to the top of raiding or PvP. The addons, the plugins to th eaddons, the Weak Auras, getting ratings so you get invited into groups, doing sufficient content to farm the gear you need and so on.
Blizzrad has conssistently chosen to cater to the top 0.1% here at the expense of the vast majority of players and certainly any new players.
Mythic raiding participation is so low it shouldn’t even be on Blizzard’s radar. Any other featrure with this little participation would’ve been scrapped long ago.
Make the raid as long as you want. Just split it up into different lockouts. Basically a progression locked LFR type system. Then you just need to hang on for a wing rather than the whole thing, and can leave and come back later or stick with the group and move on.
