Required silver proving grounds to enter heroics in WoD? This forum had a collective meltdown over having to click their interrupt once and move out of some fire to pass it. People were claiming their “friend” who definitely existed and cleared heroic 25 man Garrosh couldn’t do it. The amount of cope was crazy.
They should bring back the proving ground but require gold to enter Mythic+
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Yeah, no thanks.
I do remember. It was amazing, the forum tears were hilarious. I want them to bring it back.
You don’t even run M+ you’ll be fine
the squeaky wheel gathers no moss
or something idk
Who says I don’t? 
Next to the usual “go talk to this guy for a second” quests, that proving grounds, at least the heroic requirement, was the easiest thing Id done.
No. If you want to run content with a premade group you should be allowed to. I’m quite confident you were allowed to make a premade group and do heroics (and mythics) in WoD without doing the proving ground anyway.
You were. It was only a requirement for entering via RDF.
I’m fairly certain the last thing this game needs is additional services to block the pathway of casual gamers in a game. That’s becoming more casual by the day. My unpopular opinion is the proving grounds and mythic plus are both unnecessary content. It’s just some way for competitive people to feel better about themselves.
why not bring back attunements while we are at it
Mythic+ is one of the most popular activities in the entire game. Your take is completely detached from how actual users engage with content in the product.
Is it really, or is this just speculation?
We have data showing millions of keys being run each season which is far more participation than other game activities.
Not beating the “Casual players don’t play the game” allegations
If you actually remember you’d know it did literally nothing to improve heroic dungeons in any measurable way besides pretending it was a barrier to entry.
Does that data show it per unique player? Want to even link that data?
I’m not great at parsing through data but there is plenty of information on warcraftlogs and raiderio
I mean, if we want to be honest, plunder storm was probably the most popular thing in the game for a minute. And if we wanna be even more honest, collectors bounty was the most popular thing in the game for a minute. The only reason mythic plus is popular is because it has the best gear in the game. But if we took that gear out and put it in delves, guess which part of this game would no longer be popular
