i’ve given up on blizzard ever going back to fix old raids.

remember it was EASILY soloable on mythic pre squish, ie all through BFA.
No plans to ever do so. It isn’t broken to any one at Blizzard, working as intended regardless of complaints. The solution now is to play the current game and gear up to a point where you can solo the raid with ease.
Regardless of how things once worked, where it didn’t matter once the legacy buff kicked in you were good to go, that isn’t how things work now.

maybe you need to play better
okay this is a general gripe but there was a time when “soloable” meant it was possible to kill a boss by yourself, not necessarily that it was effortless. i don’t know exactly when but at some point the community decided any prior content that couldn’t be completed by pressing a single attack was overtuned.
the problem is the buff isn’t properly scaling. not that people want ez mode.

maybe it’s scaling the way it’s intended to, and the design intent has changed?
I think that point was reached once The Developers introduced a Legacy buff that allowed for such game play. Now, with the squish things have changed. It wasn’t anything for someone to walse into an old raid and down everything by themselves on Mythic Difficulty.
I think the biggest complait now is Legion content on Mythic Difficulty. Though I have been gone for 11 months I guess the plan going forward isn’t to allow for a legacy buff that trivializes old raid content, but does in fact require players to put forth some work.
It has, which was something I think was brought up a while back when people raised concerns of Legion content being to difficult on Mythic.
I agree. The design intent is now to make it impossible for players to run old content to farm mounts and mogs like they used to. They’ve also stealth nerfed Legion dungeon and raid drops. Next expansion all old content will be removed as we move into the brave new world of World of Warcraft: Azerot. You will play the game right or not at all".

I don’t know what this means. Did my usual LFR Aggy run today and the expected number of pieces dropped.
Legion dungeons formerly gave 1 piece of loot per boss and 2 for the last boss. Now not every boss gives loot, and the last boss only drops 1 piece. I posted about this in Customer support and got responses saying that they were seeing fewer drops in Legion mythic raids.
Can you give me a specific dungeon you saw this happen on, and its difficulty?
When Blizzard tuned old raid content to be trivial. It became an expectation, then all of a sudden Blizzard stopped doing this with no rhyme or reason. It feels spiteful at this point.

This is 100% Blizzard’s attitude. They can keep the game at this point.

Normal Halls of Valor and Darkheart Thicket. Later today I will need to run some more.
Normal HoV run just now:
Hymdall: 9g 78s 74c, Bonespeaker Cowl
Hyrja: 12 g, 35s, 88c, Eyir’s Blessing
Fenryr: 10g, 45s, 6c, Blood of Sargeras, Wolfstrider Pendant
Skovald: 11g, 1s, 21c, Blood of Sargeras, Skovald’s Resolve
Odyn: 21g, 76s, 39c, Blood of Sargeras, Treads of Light, Wristbands of Magnificent Splendor (titanforged lol)
Hymdall gave one player a blood of sargeras and the other nothing but gold. In neither dungeon did the last boss drop 2 pieces of loot.
They’ve brought back titanforging to Legion content? I’m going to doubt here.
Ok so you’re talking about a group run and not solo then?
is it possible one of the members just didn’t loot (I do this quite often with legacy runs since it all goes to the mailbox)?
Both the members were my accounts. I was carrying an alt for class hall quests.
Interesting :\
I just ran the Mythic version too. Didn’t document it, just verified 1 drop per boss except the final boss with 2 drops and got the expected loot.
/shrug
Were they both over level 50?
