Returning to wow after 11 years. Raids?

Not really thay. I just want to experience the older raids like they sould be experience. Just had alot of people tell me nobody runs them. To just do the new one once 120. So all in all I want to experience the older raids I never got to.

Visting old raids when you can solo them…is well to most boring…because your not going to get people of that lvl and ilvl of raid to run with you…

And one shotting or 3 shotting raid bosses with out the fear of dying is not to thrilling…but hey each there own…

Not happening only way is start a community… and get people to level lock them selfs to that raid and run it that way…

Which if there is not one go make one if you have the will and leadership…

That is one of the features of FFXIV I prefer to WoW–cycling through all of the old raids as you progress.

It works really well in that…but would it work in WoW? With some incentive, I don’t see why not.

That said, WoW has an alternate system to experience some of the old raids–timewalking. So while you quit after Vanilla, there is fortunately timewalking Black Temple and timewalking Ulduar to sync your level to.

Cant sell a new expansion with this strategy.

Also check out Black Temple Time Walking. Youll have to research it though cause I have no idea when it pops up.

It is if you do it Nekid.

If they did what you want them to do, most people would never get to see current raids, ever. That’s like 14 years worth of raid progression.

Also, you played TBC, you know full well you didn’t have to raid Vanilla to be able to gear up in TBC.

You say you played until 2008. This problem existed in 2008. You’ve NEVER had to do previous expansion’s raids.

Uh what… the only time that’s ever true is in MMOs. Most games are exactly the same no matter when you decide to play. It was Blizzard who decided to invalidate every past piece of content every time they came out with something. They could have easily made it so that stuff was all still relavent and you could still get the rewards from it.

Most games don’t have a constant content release schedule with a need for a high population to make said content viable. That kinda forces pushing people forward more than, say, playing Skyrim 7 years late.

Yet this happened before Blizzard made WoW. And Blizzard is not the only company to do it.

:thinking: … you is not spelled u.

i feel achievements should be added to the old raids that can only be completed by a group entirely made of that specific level.

This way people can find a little relevance in the previous content, with achievement rewards being simple toys or mogs etc.

This just adds a little bit more to dabble into while waiting for the next raid tier, giving people something slightly different, and even refreshing to do.
