Always been a thing.
Always gonna be a thing.
The game is built on people coveting stuff.
I mean, my ideal system would literally be one where we all get templates and gear isnât even relevant.
I still donât think world or solo content ought to drop the same gear as raid or M+ or PvP.
In comparison the only things you can show off over others in Gw2 is mount cosmetics or legendary gear which is only like 1-2.5% better stats than ascended gear.
Whats to stop a future expansion from starting everyone off with the same gear in all slots and allowing skill in group play to truly show in raids/dungeons with brand new mechanics built around the new no gear method for WoW.
It already does. 
Almost most people seem to enjoy gearing in one way or another so I donât think thatâs anything theyâll ever simply take away.

Itâs not the casual playstyle thatâs the problem. Itâs the repeated âI donât even want to attempt this content, but I want the rewards that content offersâ whining on the forums
Itâs the âsome slight thing isnât perfectly the way I want it, so the game isnât âcasual friendlyââ forum whining.
Itâs the blatant misrepresentations of the current and historical state of the game on the forums.

The point of this thread is to show that this isnât the case for the vast majority of people.
Feedback is not necessarily whining.

your opinion and thatâs great but if it was only dungeons leading to raids, then wow would be considered group content. unfortunately that is not the case as the 10s of thousands of quests are more than enough to take a lv 1 char to level cap and be completed solo.
before scaling was implemented, the solo char had to look for help doing some of the actual difficult (and survivable) quests. quests had levels of difficulty assigned to them based on the charâs current level: red, yellow, hard blue, light blue, green, white and of course dark grey.
most tanks could solo most of the quests regardless of difficulty level, but get a squishy in there and you needed help.
those are the days of questing I miss the most. when the game itself was challenging and it was easier to make friends. nothing can compete with running up to a mob you needed to kill only to find one or two others standing around unable to do so due to the difficulty of taking the mob out.

I would add (and there has been progress)
Auto grouping.
People rarely group. No incentive. I know this is a solo thread but hear me out.
I like to solo until its time to not solo.
Itâs great we share kills, all you have to do is tag the mob.
But we need a quick group option like Ive seen in Diablo.
âPerson is doing the same thing as you, group up?â Yes/No
This way we can benefit from Heroism, Auras, interface benefits, etc.

For the most part they usually donʻt, but when they do, folks can forget to be cool and can get nasty quickly.
I hang around Maarukai challenge arena for just that reason. In case someone needs a tank to help there. Although I have discovered that sometimes being too quick on the draw resets the mob.

None of this is going to happen. The mythic runners will complain that there is not enough resources and time for all that since it will affect their precious esports. We solo and casual players no longer matter.
I just completed Loremaster of Dragon Isles, got Explorer of Dragon Isles, and Iâm currently working on getting purple gear (adventure gear) and when I have all purple gear just a hairline over 400 ilevel, Iâm done with this xpac.
No way in hell Iâm doing dungeons. The few Dragon Isles pugs Iâve tried, I never got a single item other than a few silvers and a few gold. Why would I bang my head on the table dealing with GO GO GO players and not get any gear for the run?
Cheers!

This mindset always seemed so strange to me because asking for player housing is not asking for the loss of a raid tier. Its asking for player housing on top of the usual raid tiersâŠ
Itâs up to Blizzard whether or not its worth their while to expand their team to make it happen (I think it is) but there is absolutely nothing that says it has to be only one or the other.
Youâre the only one I have ever seen say that about SWTOR and WoW is anything but fine atm.
Love this idea. Seriously.

Which is still arguably bad, no matter how you try to sugar coat it.
Steamcharts is pretty telling lol,
Month Avg. Players Gain % Gain Peak Players Last 30 Days 4,365.8 -607.9 -12.22% 7,384
Completely agree. Itâs not my mindset, but thatâs one of the first things I hear from the mythic people when the subject comes up. It is strange.

Iâve been doing KSH all Dragonflight and I want a bunch of side things like this. Iâd love to have housing- think of the ways they could tie in professions for that!
I am NOT a fan of story content being locked to dungeons or raids, such as a Sarkareth kill or doing Dawn of the Infinites to be able to see cinematics. You canât simply avoid them because everyone and their mother in the WoW community plasters spoilers all over thumbnails and articles for views.

We had solo dungeons. It was called Torghast and these entitled cry babies killed it. This is what Blizzard gets for listening to these spreadsheet no-lifes who demand the entire game be focused around them.
- IO score was a mistake while adding nothing of substance (i hate damage meters but theyre more useful than IO score)
- Increased investment in M+ while everything else rots on the vine (like pvp) is a mistake
- The vault is a mistake
Those of us who have fun doing the non-ordained content take a backseat to these other people and its so depressing. They killed Torghast and they still get coddled. These deserve nothing and should get less.
