Blizzard was quoted in an interview, basically “working as intended”. I have cancelled my subs and have no interest in waiting until the 11.0 or 12.0 expansion to solo through mythic BFA raids.
Thought you could solo BFA raids in DF?
FUN DETECTED
Old Raid Content
Will people be able to solo Mythic raids in Dragonflight?
Yeah probably. Not trivially, but yes. The way this generally works and I know we’ve kind of confused it a bit with squishes and offsetting multipliers to counteract those squishes, it’s ultimately the product of your power growth as a player, through gear, through levels, through other things. Over the course of a given expansion from start to finish, as you get 10 levels and you get 150+ item levels of gear, you probably get at least 4 times as powerful, in terms of total stats, hit points, DPS and so forth. If you compare the numbers players are putting out in Sepulcher today to what they were doing in the 9.0 Pre-Patch at level 50, you’ll probably find that it’s about quadruple. Two expansions later, you’re like 4 times 4, 16 to 20 times more powerful and that means that you can now go and solo stuff that required 20 players 2 expansions ago. One more expansion and now you’re like 80 times more powerful and that’s the part where you can go in and destroy stuff, but there’s that middle ground where it’s like mechanics don’t kind of matter, the raid wasn’t trivial for 20 people back then, you might have the power of 20 people but that doesn’t mean you’re going to walk in and one shot Mythic bosses or anything and as players reach that point, we definitely go back in and make adjustments to old encounters where there are mechanics that forcibly required multiple people or that will frustrate if you go there solo and this is around the time when we’d start taking a look at 2 expansion ago to smooth out some of those rough edges.

LEGION raids take even longer in level 70 raid gear than they did at level 60 during 9.3, enjoy.

I cant tell if I am just imagining things, but legion mythic raids are taking way too long to solo compared to other content. This is already 2 expacs old, why is there no significant damage boost?
I have been using fresh 60s with ~230 ilvl in AH gear and bosses are taking 1-2 mins to kill. Yes, its easier at 270, but thats not the point! This feels like a purposeful waste of my time, I just want to farm out some transmog but I have to worry about level 60 characters not being geared enough???
I did some brief testing and the SL->Legion damage boost has been around 10x for me. BFA->WoD is 100x, Legion->mists is 100x. This content should have been trivial from the start of SL, like it has in the past.
