Old Raid Tuning

Lest we forget, old content tuning is still wonky and broken, Legion isn’t soloable, BfA is almost as hard as it was at 50, and people have reported older content taking longer than it did pre level squish. What’s going on Blizzard? Please speak to us, that “we need specific examples” quote feels like gaslighting, we’re giving specific examples. We know what’s wrong, and we’re telling you what’s wrong, but can you guys just tell us what you plan on doing about it? It’s been complete radio silence aside from an interview by someone who’s not even Blizzard affiliated.

I think there was an interview with Ion the other day where he basically said “working as intended”. I thought I read he basically said something about that’s how leveling goes in WoW. (whatever that even means… he plays some weird RPG’s I guess)

Not sure if I just read some dramatic post or where I read it even tbh, so I could be wrong. But, if not, sounds like it’s not getting adjusted.

Its working as intended according to the almighty god Ion.

Discussed a lot here;

That was not my impression.

From Interview:
Q: Any plans to fix old raid tuning?
A: They’re curious to hear specific examples. There was a bug in the first week of Shadowlands where the scaling benefit against Legion content went down as you leveled. That should be working as intended.

My impression: ‘ There was a bug, it was fixed and it should now be working properly.

From Interview (con’t)
A: Players who compared themselves at the end of the last expansion and the beginning of this expansion and find that it’s talking longer is an unfortunate thing about leveling up in WoW and the way combat ratings work.

My impression: ‘ The way we set up the combat ratings in the new expansion has created an unfortunate side effect that diminishes your character’s power progress in all content. We don’t know how to fix it so, instead of taking responsibility for it and, at the least, acknowledging the legitimacy of your complaints and apologizing, we have decided to gaslight you by misrepresenting the situation thru pretending this is normal.

But I could be wrong.
