Why has wow turned into a seasonal game?

[Trilanni-proudmoore]

So basically screw catch-up gear and buhbye casual progression and ease of gearing alts to play in current content…

…all so you can keep running the same raid all expansion long? That about sum it up? This is what would make WoW better?

Well, I must say I disagree.

I have nothing to add to your back and forth besides posting my favorite emoji combo

eSports. Blizzard is still chasing eSports with an MMO. Having seasons with gear resets every six months is part of that attempt.

Got it, force people to clear every single raid every week since later tiers basically give the same gear

Not a stupid idea at all

@Erthan-hyjal

No. Making raid tiers valid throughout an expansion is for lack of better term, stupid.

Vanilla-wotlk would like to have a word.

Wotlk is the expansion that heavily started this.

You could skip Naxx and Ulduar and go straight to ToC. Then later skip straight to ICC.

Really paints a picture, that does.

Yeah it’s a terrible idea.

Even playing classic (which I greatly enjoyed) it was pretty painful getting anyone to do binding runs in MC while we were in AQ40. Absolutely tired of doing the same raid forever.

[Pinar-stormrage (Pinar)]

Care to explain why?

[Trilanni-proudmoore]

Ugh and attunements.

In fairness, I’m okay with attunements now. With the grouping tools available now, as well as you not being locked to a single server for people, I’m all for bringing them back.

I am most definitely not okay with going with you to do them(…yanno, unless I’m bored). And if you can’t be bothered to find your own groups to get attuned these days I think that tells me everything I’d need to know about you to know I wouldn’t want you on my team.

Sure there’s content for casual players like mount farming, quests, etc but these players do not make up the majority of the playerbase

You do know that Raiding… specifically raiding past LFR… is a minority activity and always has been right? Even MC only had 40% of the population kill a single boss and the % just went downhill after that.

[Dreadsurge-sargeras]

You have to outgrow old tiers eventually.

Legion had this distinct problem where you actively had to run everything on every difficulty if you wanted reasonable AP gains, or a reasonable rate of Legendary acquisition. BFA had a similar problem with trinkets not being outgrown; Ashvane’s Razor Coral and especially Azshara’s Font of Power were outright class-defining trinkets that came from hard bosses in a previous raid tier.

Stupid trinket never dropping
