With all content being unlocked and available from the very start on the official hardcore servers, I expect the progression meta to be slightly different than on the previous era-locked progression servers we’ve had in the past. While I couldn’t think of very many glaring issues with this, one farm did stand out in my mind:
The Naxxramas Plague Wing entrance trash farm, which is doable with as little as two frost mages, is a safe and profitable farm that can net the participants extremely high quality loot including things like Harbinger of Doom and Misplaced Servo Arm (as well as many other items). For comparison, these weapons are actually on par with R14 weapons if not considerably stronger.
Here is a link to an example of this trash farm, the user is actually 2 manning this and piloting both characters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1ZT-wXldg4
The problem with this trash farm being available from the very start is that this is a low risk farm if done correctly, and can very easily be accomplished with one group of ranged DPS. The quality of this loot and the fact that these mobs can be soft reset and farmed repeatedly means this will without a doubt become one of the best early game farms and you can expect competitive player groups to be farming 65 DPS 1H weapons before most people have even cleared Molten Core. To be abundantly clear, people will be inviting players to this raid to sell (or gift) loot rights to them, and again… this farm can literally be 2 boxed with 2 frost mages. This farm was done in WoW Classic when Naxx was released and will be abused heavily for Hardcore WoW Classic launch if measures are not taken to prevent it.
Please consider making adjustments so this farm is not available (nerfing trash drops at the start of this wing, making this trash non resettable, not unlocking this dungeon from the start, or something else) so we don’t see this in our meta. Thanks!
