Bad enough that yet again you put an Alliance allied race behind more required dungeon running, but putting the Mechagnomes behind a MYTHIC ONLY dungeon as well?
Unless my info is outdated, you have to complete the entirety of “The Mechagonian Threat”, which has a last step of killing the last boss in a mythic only dungeon.
And yes, yes, I know - mythic isn’t all that hard, blah blah blah…that’s true, I’d imagine that you could do this questline on Mythic 0…
But it’s still a LONG dungeon.
And it makes THREE alliance allied races that require at some point dungeons to run. (Mechagnomes, Dark Iron Dwarves, Kul Tiran)
Is there a single Horde AR that requires a dungeon? Absolutely requires one? (I haven’t done nightborne because I despise Suramar)
This kind of crap really doesn’t help the “no horde bias” narrative.

Didnt the HM Tauren required a raid?

Not that I recall…looking at the documentation online doesn’t indicate a raid either. Just completing the highmountain questline, getting exalted with the group, and doing the recruitment scenario.
There’s a reason you get this response so often.
Games with no challenge aren’t games. Games “not allowed” to have rewards-for-challenge by greedy people who demand to own everything makes games worse for everyone.
It’s not horde-bias, its alliance bias. Alliance is the faction that actually has worthwhile activities to achieve for the races.

The problem with this is it’s hard to get in groups now because everyone only wants a speed run so if your gear is under 400+ forget it. And sure make your own group and several hours later no one has joined for the same reason, they want a speed run with highly geared players only.
This is bogus, why do Alliance have to run a dungeon to get their allied race but all Horde has to do is the stupid zone quests and that’s it? The dungeon needs to be removed from the requirements, the zone quests are enough.

Operation Mech should already have been turned into two M+ as of 8.2.5. I won’t go there (haven’t ever been) because it only drops 415 while M+ is 430/440.
The good news is that I’m not looking for mechagnomes… even though I realize that top raiding guilds are going to race change and roll raids with 100% mechagnomes due to the vastly overpowered racials.

Exactly. My KT Druid, which I’m doing mechagon on, is a whopping 389 - that’s not going to cut it, period. Especially since the only thing I hate more than DPSing on a druid is tanking in group activity as a druid, which leaves me with the ability to heal in group content only - and who the heck is going to take an undergeared healer?
At least I have my VE, my Maghar Orc, my glowing space goat and my dino druid to keep me occupied until they come to their senses, working towards THEIR heritage armor.

It’ll be Heroic with two wings. Why are we getting bent out of shape over this when we know perfectly well it’s going to have a Heroic version? Do we have nothing else to try to be dramatic about?

Mechagon will have heroic and m+ versions in 8.3. Its already been datamined.

Why do we have to do a dungeon at all when Horde doesn’t? That’s the problem. Keep it equal. That’s all we’re asking for here, is that a problem?

Do we know when? Seriously asking.
And the fact remains that even if in the future you can do it on a heroic run you can queue for, it doesn’t hide the fact that there is a striking disparity in what one has to do to unlock Horde ARs compared to Alliance. This is indisputable. Whether that makes the Alliance ARs better because of the sense of accomplishment or not is wholly irrelevant, it is a matter of disparity.

Because Blizz hasn’t done anything equal in quite a while. This isn’t new.

Good to know, much appreciated.
Still doesn’t change the fact that the horde ARs are easier to acquire, but still good news.

So why is it wrong to point it out and ask for a change? I don’t understand your issue here.
I agree with you! I was livid when I had to run Motherlode to unlock Dark Iron Dwarves.
Its pretty unfair.

Next patch I believe - they break it into two wings and it is heroic.
Maybe it’s incentive to get Alliance players to be better at PvE?

Datamined for 8.3. So you’ll have to just run the last wing. Just like Kara, should be quick and easy— in theory.
Because the OP was outraged over it being Mythic only. If you noticed, that was what my post was about. Not a disparity.

The OP didn’t do a good job of spelling out the dual issues at hand and should have done a better job of it.

At least Mechagon makes sense to me. Motherload was just randomly thrown in like, “hey, we need more storyline or something for this one random dungeon, so let’s just toss it in as an AR requirement for no good reason!”
