Itâs going to decline either way. Itâs an old game, but if you arenât going to do any group content, thereâs a wall. World quests just werenât intended to be a serious gearing route.
The gearing paths are already there. Iâm not sure what you expect them to add that isnât going to want you to play with other people. Thatâs the entire point of the game.
You said you perceive the game would be destroyed, as if you have an attachement and do not want it to be harmed as you say âdestroyedâ. So yes you do care and you are pretending not to.
You really havenât though, except to repeatedly say âthatâs just how it isâ. I mentioned above WotlK and pre-M+ systems offered a path to heroic raid tier gear for the equivalent of the current LFD effort and none of the drama, whether accurate or exaggerated, espoused in these threads and the expansion was generally well received at the time from what I recall.
You obviously have an attachement to the game and donât want people to do content you perceive as braindead to get an ilvl boost, that isnât even comparable to like 15s. Thats going to be like 40 ilvls ahead of what the average player can get.
