First, thank you for the communication! Lots of things to look forward to!

Second, please look at the Frostbite/Fingers of Frost interaction that is currently bugged. Frost mage in general has been THE lowest preforming DPS and is currently under every tank and is on par with healer DPS.

Third, I appreciate the hard work you and your team do and I know it’s (mostly) a thankless job.

Incredibly smart changes across the board.

I think this is kind of like when you buy a game on release day and two months later it goes on sale? You miss out but the tradeoff is you got it earlier.

here’s my feedback: i’m out. destroying the 40 man raids kills whatever interest i had in continuing. I know many in my guild feel the same, we’ve discussed it. At least we know now, instead of at 60 (months down the road and wasted game time) that here is no unique WOW raiding experience to be had at the end.

SOD was something different while keeping the majority of the game intact. Removing the 40 mans means what set Classic apart from Retail and other games was the epic feel of a an actual RAID event. If its that gone, so am I. Good luck to everyone else.

Excellent, I may now level alts. Not sure why they’re waiting a week to do this, but at least we know alts won’t be abandoned in SoD now.

Hello Aggrend,

I’m 100% ok with MC being 20-player as it’s frankly very dull and bare bones (same with Onyxia) as well as the fact many people will still be leveling to 60 on alts etc. However I hope that BWL, AQ, and Naxx will still be 40 player raids.

Furthermore is there any chance that the runes from Grizzby and the Waylaid Supply Factions could be BOA? These feel like roadblocks for making new alts where it just feels bad to do the Grizzby quests again for the 5th or 6th time.

Also in the future, can we avoid gold sinks on recipies/patterns like in Gnomer? 25g for the gear and 15g for the reagent feel way to expensive. IMO The gear pattern cost should be 10g and the reagent 5g.

40 man raids were in the game for the least amount of time vs. any other raid size. Stop pretending the game ended after vanilla.

I understand you are new to MMOs. That’s now how things work.

End of story.

Look at the community responses. This is a hot topic. Lets not act like this isn’t a cause for a lot of upset.

Shhh don’t give them a reason, there is still time.

The wep skill doesn’t matter much yet because bosses aren’t 3+ levels over you. Also there are already lots more wep skill items in the game than ever before.

My 10-man guild has been very much enjoying the current raid size. Not even sure what we’re gonna do for level 50. Disappointing…

Please for the love of all things holy do not make 40 man raids. This is not covid times and to maintain that is just not feasible. 20 man is much more doable and if 40 mans are th eonly options for some of the raids I will no longer be playing.
