First month of the season everyone was clamoring how Delves killed M+, they’re superior, M+ is irrelevant now, etc, etc…
Where’d that subsection of M+ haters go now?
Delves are simply a quicker avenue of gearing alts at this point, nothing more, nothing less. They are CERTAINLY not some replacement for M+, that was a nonsense take.
Just for disclosure - I’m NOT saying M+ is perfect, far from it. In fact this season it needs major fixing/reworking. But Delves being some M+ replacement was pure fantasy.
Well if people had any foresight they would have been able to see the long term benefits of M+ compared to Delves.
Delves did give out champion track gear for Bountiful +8 ones, with the use of a key. But, the item pool was abysmal, and the overloading of poor trinkets to dominate your rewards and vault choices eventually even getting a vault option for heroic track gear lost its luster due to the high probability of you getting another junk trinket.
Crests. Crests are basically non-existent in Delves, I think you get a whopping (2) on a bountiful run. While M+ you get a boat load, especially beating the timer. Plus you have the option of running more than 4 dungeons a day. There is only 4 Bountiful Delves per day.
In the end Bountiful +8 keyed Delves did give an initial Champion track gear boost, but that is it. Higher gear pools and higher crest acquisition, makes M+ the clear winner.
What happened is I got full 619 in every slot, completed every delve achievement aside from bran hitting 60 and finished the seasonal bar thing. All that delves have left to offer me is the off chance a RNG map drops so I can get a measly 2 gilded crests.
If Blizzard made it so bounty tier 11 delves dropped gilded crests I would absolutely still be running delves each week and I’m sure many others would as well.
Fact, delves are easier at equal ilvl reward than m+. But once you reach a certain ilvl, you can literally farm hero track gear from m+ whilst delves is still limited to rare delver’s bounty and vault. It’s a no brainer.
Delve andys malded everything they had asking for mythic track gear rewards from Delves. But, when they didn’t get what they wanted, they did what everyone else did with Delves - stopped playing them.
They just can’t. To give myth track item would require similar difficulty as m+10 and mythic raid, but ability to solo them. You think they’re malding now, would have been tenfold.
The WoW community is entirely too reactionary. Blizzard tries something new and suddenly it’s the worst thing ever. I get the feeling that the people who post like this have a lot of frustrations in their life, and they come here and blow a small thing up into a big thing in the game.
