It’s called getting to level eighty in The War Within and hope you overpower it finally.

In one of few times we might agree, it’s crazy. No reason all that stuff shouldn’t be soloable by the last patch of the next expansion.

I hate how stingy they are with this kind of tuning.

nah he said specifically the group mechanics like mythrax mind control and insta kill and ghuun and the bosses in the void raid
he said it needs to be nerfed and the plan is by the end of DF

I hate having to explain the definition of a joke to people on these forums…
Throw enough of everything at it and hopefully it dies before the mind control gets you
i know its a joke but some people dont joke with it so im explaining it in layman
Kind of wish it was just an established thing like
Hey two expansions later the content explodes if you look at it, happy mog farming
Honestly best thing would also be if they did an event or something where legacy raids dropped double cosmetic loot and disabled relic drops

he even broke it down how the SCALING works, which i think he got out of thin air
an expac after you’re as powerful as 5 people in that content
2 expac after, as powerful as 20
3 expac as powerful as 5 raid groups
but there are group mechanics that need to be nerfed
i wanna know where this is

Blizzard actually making changes to benefit solo players and not giving us the middle finger over and over 
Good luck with that.
its been this goal moving since early SL in regards to legion soloability
and then they nerfed it bc they were in the process of lawsuits
now its bfa string along

stingy would be generous. after the level squish they got worse

ion said they add the legacy buff after squishes to compensate for the loss in power in old content.

Exactly, because this isn’t a niche thing that only a few people like to do, I get encounters and coding and design are complex at times, but I feel like its genuinely worth having development time invested into a way in which either A) mechanics can be disabled when content becomes well and truly outdated or B) having the encounter transition in such a way that being able to explode a boss is a feasible thing.

Shoot, not just solo players. There’s plenty of people who do group stuff but still need to farm old content for stuff

just another 1 to add to the list of ion said this but it was in fact a lie. as far as doing old content for mogs i felt so much weaker post squish doing the same content. now i just wait 3 xpacs before i get anything i missed because i only trust them to mess things up not do what they said
problem is its mechanics they need to actually go into the meat and potatoes code to change.
a task, i think, could take two interns a afternoon to do
