Wait … I’m being called a raid-or-die elitist?
Chromie!! What did you do to the timeline?
- Give raids a “solo” mode (drops same cosmetics as LFR with a heroic dungeon item level). Makes story beats more accessible for casual players.
- Remove LFR (in lieu of the solo mode mentioned above).
- Remove Heroic and Mythic difficulties. Return to an Ulduar-era of raiding where the challenge of an encounter was determined by some interactive role-playing element (such as pressing the big red button on the Mimron fight).
- Maybe players need to bring a particular item to trigger a unique encounter mechanic which is more challenging to deal with but offers greater rewards if completed.
- Maybe the order in which bosses are completed affects difficulty and presence of certain mechanics for later bosses.
- Tons of potential to increase meaningful engagement and discovery.
Not you, just quoting you about the just wait to do raids until a couple expansions, was referring specifically to a warlock and others just like them

Flex and cross server being avaible to Mythic level content.
It’s an idea that I agree sounds good on paper, I’m just worried about how it would play out in practice.
I motion to add Traders Tendies to the boss drops in normal raid and above that isnt tied to the monthly cap. You can get like… 10 per boss kill or something, more on higher difficulties.
Then, we add every transmog appearance from every raid since vanilla to the trading post on a seperate tab from the rotating monthly shopping list. Heck we can put every old mount here too.
Then we put tendies in the cash shop. Plus we add Golden Tendies on a seperate purchaseable battle pass, you need both regular and golden tendies to buy transmog from the current tier. But you can only get golden tendies from maintaining an active sub paid with real money and having the golden battle pass.
Then after all this is complete, if players are on the golden battle pass and they loot the current tier set naturally from the raid they get an additional transmog option that makes them slightly shinier than usual players.
Yes, I am bored. None of this is a good idea, but I also would not be surprised if some of these things happens one day lol.
I would love to see mythic+ removed for one expac just to see the sub numbers plummet.
Once normal and heroic are defeated they have a looking for group function like LFR. Just random players in a random pug. Even if they pugs bad you get some experience in the raid. I’d rather have an option like this instead of trying to join 5 groups, having the time run out and repeating until I get in a group and the group sucks.
By whom? You?
If you are doing LFR for the actual gear you arent carrying anything.
Delete wowhead “dps ranking” articles.
All they do is encourage FotM gameplay which hurts raiding for everyone.
That’s the only change raiding needs. Warcraft logs isn’t even the issue, just wowhead encourage that behavior with their articles.

Do you think people are just unaware that warlocks and death knights are doing way more damage than windwalkers and enhancement shamans…?
no, there’s definitely balance issues
but without articles that actively encourage excluding those specs people wouldn’t care about the 10% difference nearly as much.
and before you respond “it’s not 10%”, it is. wowhead hides this by using “scores” instead of using the dps option.
Not for the specs I mentioned, it’s not. You can easily look at DPS amounts.
wowhead isn’t “hiding” anything, they’re just ripping the numbers from warcraftlogs
Havoc is 20% below Unholy, for example.
ah, I was looking at overall damage, not just damage to bosses. Was confused why your chart was vastly different than mine.
Still, 20% honestly isn’t that big outside of mythic, a player good at their spec will still do perfectly fine.
again, I’m not saying there isn’t balance issues, I’m saying that unless you’re a mythic raider (or other high end content pusher), they really don’t matter.
I would make mythic raid bosses extremely hard. No more killing the final boss in less than a week.
I would make older raids not scaled so they can be solod.
They are. Maybe you should try getting Cutting Edge some time and see for yourself.
Oh, I see. Another “people who aren’t me have beaten this so that means it’s easy”.
The only proper response is the same one Eyonix gave when people said the same thing back in Wrath:

I can’t say I’d like to see any changes, but a few years ago there was a player who organized weekly “raids” to teach people how to raid with no pressure or judgement, no gear requirements, just bring yourself and go in and have fun.
I’d like to see Blizzard set up a similar program, maybe call it “Raid University” and teach people to raid. Not like LFR, but actually teach people how to set up, to avoid stepping in deep doodoo, where to stand, when to move and not move. A job of work it would be but…They might create a few raiders out of it.
I’d cut down on any true need for addons to be able to do good in raids so those of us who’d rather do without don’t get thrown out on our face because we’re not using them. I’d also make it so people can’t need on items they can’t even use and nobody should be punished with a lower drop rate on certain items based on what raid difficulty they’re on. I’d also undo the nerfed drop rates on things like mythic only difficulty mounts for old content and make BFA and Shadowlands stuff stop scaling to DF so we can solo run old raids from their content without worry
IMO lfr feels really out of place at this point, mostly because of the drop rates. They are so low, and the drops arent good…
