Season of discovery is basically World of Patchcraft, just like retail. Isn’t one of the appeals of Classic it’s more linear progression and relevancy of older tier raids? So basically they’ve adopted retails philosophy of making everything completely irrelevant once a new patch drops.

Thats ok. You’re welcome.
Who new that the company responsible for retail would do a Classic + in the same way?..
We keep pining for the Blizzard Dev teams to transmogrify into the old school Dev team and get surprised when they act like modern Blizzard … it is modern Blizzard.
I view it as an interesting experiment to see if classic is just better, or the formula is what sucks.
I’ll also get to see if its the class changes that I hated, or arena.
Hopes weren’t high, now I feel validated. The only good Blizz does is when they listen to a popular idea from the community and then implement it.
Based off what?
We have no idea what actual level 60 end game is going to look like.
You’re making this assumption based off the fact they’ve added raid tiers at lower levels when in reality it’s no different then RFC not being relevant when you’re level 37.

Yeah, this dude is legitimately unhinged. We know very very little about how endgame SoD will function, they have said virtually nothing. He’s probably just a young kid (18ish) just throwing a temper tantrum.
For it to be a raid it suggests a pause and progression, followed by a patch that will then increase the level of content and I assume the rewards therefore making the previous patch irrelevant. Sounds like retail to me.
All we know is that the level cap is increasing after some time to 35. We know nothing else about how gear will work because we know very little of the gear in the first place. There could very well be amazing items in BFD that will still be BIS 10 levels later - that’s how vanilla is. You are making assumptions and getting yourself all worked up over literally nothing.
Youngish and complaining that Classic + is in fact introducing a retail concept? Are you full quid?
Use your powers of deduction and it’s pretty easy to read between the lines.
You don’t see a difference between what is essentially leveling content in SoD becoming “irrelevant” the higher you level compared to “old” max level content becoming actually irrelevant the moment a new raid tier drops in Retail?
Leveling or not is irrelevant, there is going to be no need for previous patch contents when the new patch drops. That is Patchcraft that retail does so well.
Read between the lines and come to the conclusion that what? Please explain.
I guess you don’t have the power of deduction, I’m sorry for assuming.
You literally have no idea how any of this is going to work.
For all we know unlocking a rune slot(s) could be tied to killing the last boss in this new BFD raid making it relevant for the entirety of the game.
So when a new raid tier drops in retail people who are level 50 just stop doing the only content that is available for them to do at level?
No, you’re not weaseling your way out of explaining your wild leaps of logic. Explain what you mean, what are you reading between the lines? Please share your insight.
- A NEW APPROACH TO ENDGAME – Season of Discovery will start with an initial level cap of 25 and will be incrementally increased over time offering a more progressive endgame experience that will shift with each level band as new abilities become available for players during level-up.
Sounds clear to me.
It takes less than a day to level on retail, what are you even on about?

So what’s your argument? How is this any different from vanilla as it is now?
Vanilla doesn’t make previous content irrelevant with each new patch cycle. That is exactly what retail does and it sounds exactly like what they’re describing here. It doesn’t sound like classic at all. Sounds like they’ve tried to do the easiest attempt possible at classic + but their too stuck in this patch cycle crap. Every patch on retail is almost like a whole expansion worth of powercreep in classic.
