Then don’t raid. If you don’t have the schedule then either find a different game or a different way to utilize your time.
Honestly it is not much different than challenges in real life. Why in the world do people level up on medium elevation mountains and then risk life and limb (literally) to summit Everest? I mean you are up there for all of a couple hours at most. You could just take a airplane ride and get a better view and higher altitude.
Or maybe dungeons could be made to have some kind of challenge that isnt just speed runs.

What you don’t seem to understand from WoW history of how the game evolved. It went from a new challenging game because it was new to players. In wrath they were stupid easy you just pulled and pulled til you brute forced your way through. In cata they nerfed every dungeon you couldn’t plow through easily. People cry when the content is too hard and cry when it’s too easy. With the timer you can effectively have both since you don’t have to best the timer for rewards but are rewarded more for your efforts if you best the timer. You want the game to cater to your schedule and subjective ideas of fun and challenging. Like I said before you either need a new game or to utilize your time differently. Also if you’re so bound on time you should probably work on your personal affairs and time management instead of a video game.
Well, OP, this expansion they forgot to put in content for people like you. There’s nothing really for anyone who is less than a competitive or otherwise elite player to do.
People don’t “level up”.
A skilled mountain climber can die just as easily from a fall on a less “challenging” mountain and they have.
Vertical face climbing is a different challenge than Mountaineering. Just like speed running a mythic is different than running a classic style dungeon. There are different challenges for each experience that are not superior than the other.
If you’re still able to spend 8-10 hours raiding per week, it’s probably because you are not an adult or have devoted much of your free time to playing a single video game and not much else. So, please, don’t attempt to lecture me on “time management skills”.
Competitive? lol
I play plenty of 1v1 Starcraft 2. Thanks for checking. WoW isn’t “competitive”.

I have a career and don’t feel inclined to tell you what I do for a living. I work 10-12 hours a day 5 days a week and I’m married. I play at least 4 different games and I can manage to raid 6 hours a week. The guild I’m in isn’t hardcore hence why I haven’t even cleared normal uldir. So yes like I said this is a YOU problem that you need to solve not blizzard. Blizzard gave you a variety of tools however bad I think they may be but they are there nonetheless.
I think you’re talking about raids.
Otherwise why not try to solo an M0 if you want a challenge.
Please, I’ve raided before. I know that there needs to be a commitment to being available regularly for the group. It’s a reasonable assumption. Just because I don’t have a steady schedule doesn’t mean I don’t know how to manage my time.
And just because I can’t be available for 10 man raiding doesn’t mean I don’t have an interest in a similar experience for 5 man dungeons that’s NOT mythic speed running.

Just join the groups that say “looking to fail the key”. All your problems are solved now.
That is not what he is saying. He is saying he has no time for raising and that mythic + bores him and he has no interest.
What he is basically asking is, is there any other content that is hard to do where he can test his skills, or is wow truly just this linear in things to do.

Thats fine. I am just curious what he did previously, as WoW has basically never had the content being asked for.

Just ran a Mythic0. The only reason it was challenging at all was because the DPS had no clue what they were doing. I’m pretty sure this doesn’t change as you push a key. I’m not sure why this is suppose to be fun.
I certainly don’t understand the Gear Progression game play. I play unchallenging content until my gear is powerful enough to enable me to attempt the next level of unchallenging content. People perform this loop ad nauseam until the next expansion?

That’s pretty much it in a nutshell.
so you want to test your skills, but don’t want to test your skills?

What is it about putting on a new piece of gear so that I can play at the next level of Mythic that “tests my skill”?
The game literally does not change except that all the numbers have increased.
well, if you aren’t interested in higher key m+, or mythic raiding (which I assume you aren’t based on the reply) then I would say perhaps trying to solo old heroic or mythic content.
they hinted at the end of legion that BfA would have something like the mage tower, so we’ll see if that pans out.
otherwise, no, non m+ dungeons aren’t particularly difficult, unless you get a bad group then they can be.
right now the difficulty in 5 mans is in the m+ system.

Except for affixes?

The affixes rotate. Game mechanics don’t change as you increase your Mythic+ key.
- Tanks still tank
- Healers still heal
- DPS still deal the bulk of the damage
- and all roles try to not stand in the proverbial fire and use their utility abilities to mitigate damage
Am I missing something?
Affixes are the changes. Dealing with different combinations of them is the difficulty curve. The numbers are functionally meaningless; a gear check.
Kind of sounds like dungeons just aren’t what you consider challenging content, so I don’t know why you’d be so focused on Mythic+ in the first place.
