Why are casuals paying for the 1% forced ‘Raid or die’ in shadowlands?

Posting in a Ralph thread! lets see if he can bait this one into a 1k+ posts.

If you go into an MMO expecting solo content that caters to you and gives you all the top notch stuff for little to no effort, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s like playing a linear RPG and you get to the final boss to find out you can solo him without a group and he only has 2 hp.

I know, I know x3 I just can’t help feeding the lil troll. He looks so hungy. He needed snackos.

Is it really a ‘troll’ though if it generates discussion?

I was under the impression trolls seek strong emotional responses, not rational arguments.
Even if the individual explicitly refutes every counterpoint made, is not the act of cognition valuable in both forming new concept pathways and reinforcing well trodden arguments?

You sorta cant loose, unless we loose our ‘heads’.

Except for the fact that you have to que forever to get into a BG or dungeon in swtor.

Liked the game, but the wait times are ridiculous.

Cool story though, bro.

Yet the actions of the majority of the player base in most mmorpgs have spoken very clearly

Solo ques>>>>forced group and social aspects

Reality simply doesn’t agree with your principle

You can solo queue dungeons/Eureka in FFXIV and get max ilvl gear. The highest raid difficulty has no gear, only cosmetics. FFXIV is widely praised, liked more than BFA, and more successful than BFA.

Really makes you think.

Desperately trying to push a narrative.

Pump the brakes op

What you fail to understand Ralph, the system is actually working, on you.

You want the gear, you want to have the power that come with it, it’s the carrot on the stick that drives us.

You just don’t want to do what’s required to get there. Can you guess what that makes you?

Because this is an mmorpg. Also, because solo queue content is the worst content in the game for multiple reasons.

FFXIV is more successful, more liked, widely praised, and allows you to do solo queue content for max ilvl gear.

Weird, huh?

Citation needed on all fronts. Also, ff14 doesn’t have as difficult content. As evidence, they don’t allow dps meters and apparently ban people for removing low dps players from groups. Any game that does that can’t have difficult content.

Can’t. Brakes are mythic only.

I’d love a carrot. It’s just stick after stick after stick…

I remember when cataclysm came out.

I remember arguments about how going down the avatar appearance path and playing ‘dress up’ was a fail. A bad choice, a sign of bad intentions and would kill the game.

Somewhat similar in context, huh?

You mean like those ultimate fights my friend at work does, to get the best looking weapons, that take weeks to clear in a group?

Yeah, they’re cosmetic only. just like Mythic raiding rewards should be.

Hm, so you want solo Q for Mythic raids? Well alright, I wish you guys luck with that.

It would be funny to give them mythic LFR, with a viewing portal. Hell, give unlimited stacks of determination. How many do you think it would take?
