I think the problem is Preach made a video advertising some people just level up to max and go back and farm old content instead of playing current expansion. Being of a controlling nature I suspect the dev team doesn’t like the idea of people not playing the current content.

Again my point was that both lore AND gear plays a huge role in this fight, if a player simply has an high item level this means they are eligible for the fight but the lore aspect still provides a challenge for any solo adventurer! This is why multiple folks of the same item level should come together to face the challenge! And regardless of folks beating this legacy content before or not, this change allows for a fresh and fun new take in the era of Shadowlands content.
What a crock. NO ONE is going to get a full group together to go farm 5 year old content. But for many, MANY of us, our end game (because not everyone raids or does M+) was solo-farming old content from years ago.
There’s no reason for this change that makes any logical sense, and all it’s going to do is make a lot of casual players…aka the majority of the player base… pretty angry.

This is simply not true, many folks already are teaming up using premise group finder to accomplish these legacy content raids. Simply because things were one way before does not mean they can’t evolve and change for the better!
Lmao no way.
It’s successful because there’s nothing new coming out lately. And it’s definitely not as successful as you’d like to believe, either; WoW has bled subs like crazy ever since Ion and his “team” took over. They’re mobo-kids, not MMORPG fans, and they don’t know how to make or run a decent MMORPG.

the legacy buff should be applied to legion and under xpac currently.

LMAO yes way.
People have came out against the ideas he has had for the last 3 xpacs (this one included ) and have told him for the last 3 alpha/betas what the problems are . He doesn’t like the fact people have seen flaws in his vision in the direction the game should go .

It is true though. Because myself and many more like myself have done it for 10+ years now. Cry hard if you don’t like the truth, but this change is only going to bleed more subs for Blizzard.

Where’s your source on this? All verified news outers show that under Ion’s control the game has sold the most copies out of any previous WoW expansion.
Old content should NOT be considered a challenge at max level. Period.

It’s still not going to make them spam dungeons or Raid.

Oh FFS. Anyone who thinks WoW hasn’t continually bled subs since WOD is too stupid to even have an argument with.
Bye, stupid.

It is only considered a challenge if an adventurer is going at it alone, if players group up then this significantly reduces the challenge!
Nah dude, your usual train of thought is slipping here. I’ll give you a moment to gather your thoughts and try again harder.
So now, the “solo” adventurer, as you call them, can no longer actually be a solo adventurer.
Why do their ilvls need to be the same? This is a completely irrelevant point.
Nice try to just “regardless” away the lore point that you bring up just because it got shut down.
So I’ll respond: regardless of gear level; a max level character should be able to solo content they far out level from at least 2 expansions ago because the loot from that content does not impact player power at all.
Fun is wildly subjective, so I won’t even deal with that.
What else ya got, Shekky?

Dude, you’re paying to unlock new content, to farm older content?
lmao
I could solo up to mythic Guldan at level 50 with corruption but it was close. Mythic Antorus was out of reach.
Oh noes! Content that was never meant to be soloable cannot be soloed! It is not like we can form a team with a few other people and still complete the content!
