True. I still remember my first Mythic Ravnyr kill like it was yesterday. No nerfs no nothing. Just pure determination and skill. And a 100% concentrated power of will.

WoW was always casual. I’m not sure why “teh hardcore gamers” ever thought otherwise.

I don’t like uneven numbers. maybe we can roll those nurfs up just a little more. Say 20 and 10%.

I also don’t see anything in here about getting more loot? Is that right?

I’m only semi motivated to leave Dornowhatever.

Why was it ever NOT???
Yeah players should not die if they want to beat it, but the death-spiraling in raidbosses is insane.

It isn’t being nerfed for casuals, there are literally 5 mythic kills, even Hall of Fame guilds can’t kill this boss as it is.

Well, when the casuals outnumber everyone else a producer like Blizzard would be wise to ensure they’re keeping their largest part of the customer base happy.

I mean they definitely seem to be catering towards the esports side of things now in terms of difficulty and tuning. Yet it’s coming at the cost of the more casual player base and long term progression guilds given the tuning curve is so high.

What was the point of all this extra ilvl scaling and stacking damage / healing buffs for mythic if we’re still going to nuke huge swathes of mythic encounters? We were already going to be stronger relative to top world guilds than we’ve ever been at an end boss without all this.

Because the current version of the boss only has 5 kills? I’d rather they nerf it than kill guilds en masse like they did when they waited too long to nerf Tswift.
