Why are mythic lockouts the way they are?

We have this fancy new lockout system that we got in MoP/WoD… so why aren’t we using it? Why is ONLY mythic different?

Its to stop ce raiders from being complete degenerates and run themselves to death. Its about 5% effective.

In all honesty we should do away with it but its almost done purely out of tradition now.

I don’t see how it has any bearing on that.

Its the original reason. I agree with you that from a modern raid stand point it doesn’t make sense especially with mythic being cross realm and cross faction going forward.

Well that is the actual dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. I doubt that was the real reason, just some excuse.

If it was the actual reason… Microsoft needs to start replacing the people that Activision put in place.

It has always been about controlling how much content you can consume in a specific period of time to keep people subbed.

Personally, I’d stay subbed longer if I could actually do mythic content since I generally only pug. As it is I get heroic raid gear, maybe some myth pieces from M+, and I’m just done.

Because mythic is the part of the game that matters, so it gets the lockout system that enforces competition.

How does it enforce competition? It just enforces being in a guild.

If I played the drinking game for the number of threads like this there are on these forums I think I’d have died at least 7 times, which is probably a few more than I can afford.

Then clearly it’s a problem to a good amount of players, and should be looked at.

Isn’t this your second or more thread on the same subject?

Probably. Spamming the same topic is sorta the OP’s thing.

Exactly, that’s the point. You’re meant to join a guild and do things with them.

Oh no, it’s just loudly repeated with no actual dialogue taking place.

Well we don’t enforce that for anything else, why JUST mythic raids?

Because Mythic raids aren’t meant to be pugged.

Says who? I don’t see anything in game telling me I can’t pug it.

Your lack of Cutting Edge, for starters.
