With shadowlands raid or die model it has lead to almost all activities in the game being treated as a mini game for mythic raiders to roflstomp others with their mythic gear while they aren’t raiding.
Torghast? Sorry you can’t progress past x layer cuz you don’t have mythic gear,
PvP? Sorry we need mythic raiders to one shot you cuz they find it fun,
M+? Sorry mythic raiders do double your damage cuz m+ doesn’t deserve good gear.
Why does blizzard forget that mythic raiders are nothing but a tiny minority and why do they keep pretending as if mythic raiding is the only real serious activity in this game?
The vast majority of the player base enjoys different types of content but blizzard doesn’t see anything but mythic raiding as a serious activity to reward fairly.
Do you want to do well in solo Torghast?
Mythic raid gear is the best for that and vital because the higher layers you, the harder the starting floors without powers will be and gear will matter the most there.
And don’t forget torghast got it’s gear drops removed because mythic raiders cried they didn’t want to do them like visions because god forbid a solo challenging activity gives decent mythic gear, and god forbid the glorious raiders have to do some other activity other than raiding D;, screw the rest of the player base, blizzard probably .
It is the same rn, go do a 5mask with mythic gear and they are a joke, I ve done them on spriest, mm hunter with lone wolf, boomie and arcane mage and most of the time I don’t even need to use an orb to restore sanity cuz mythic gear makes you that broken, again a mini game for mythic raiders
Do you want to do well in PvP?
Enjoy getting roflstomped by mythic raiders who now have pvp as their minigame to one shot people without mythic gear.
Let’s not even talk about the broken raid trinkets that always destroy people in pvp or how their vers buff is absolutely useless compared to godmode mythic raiders are wearing, again pvp has become nothing but a minigame for mythic raiders
And even arenas no longer drop decent gear, just like m+ the rewards got neutered for them so the only mythic ilvl piece you ll ever see is that single piece from the weekly chest
Do you want to do well in M+?
Too bad that the best gear for m+ is once again from mythic raids, especially with those ridiculous raid trinkets, all the gear from m+ is trash due to the low ilvl and often weak effects so enjoy having half the dps of mythic raiders.
And don’t forget that they butchered m+ ilvl to be below heroic ilvl so again your only mythic ilvl piece will be a random piece from the weekly chest
After butchering both rated arenas, m+ and removing gear drops from Torghast so the only way to get mythic ilvl consistently is mythic raiding, anyone saying Shadowlands is not raid or die needs a reality check
Blizzard might want to remember that their player base is not just mythic raiders.
