It won’t. If anything, putting the rehearsal modes of raids would only make completing Hard be the same in comparison as completing Inferno versus Normal is today.
Anyway, I’m not gonna argue with you about this, since usually we agree on most things, and I don’t want this to turn into a fight because your lack of any logical arguments is starting to piss me off 
Lack of logical arguments??? I picked that game for a reason you know. It’s the last existing MMO for non casual playerbase. You want to take that away so obviously I opt against it as there’s nothing else for me to play if this happens.
All other MMO games are made for casuals, so kindly leave that one alone for people like me.
We need ship liners to be instant not 1 minute waits. I watched my brother play on his new accounts, lord the boats take like 5 minutes to get to a island that’s a few cms away. it’s hilarious.
I dont understand how that would impact your experience. A casual player playing those mini raids would have nothing to do with you and would never cross your path.
Unlike now, because now they just pay for busses and get carried by a friend in your lobby.
Be that as it may, as always,noone even bothers to read and reply to my thread, so your hardcore experience is safe.
Yeah at first sure, but that inevitably leads to turning game into MyLittlePony. Wow used to be HC, ESO used to be HC too, not anymore. I’ve seen that too many times and it always ends up the same way.
Meh, meanwhile there are bots getting kills in Chaos Gates in South vern.
Yeah i ve seen communist republics fall apart, until EU came which is basically it.
There s a first time for everything.
Yup I’ve heard that too, everytime new wow expantion was about to be announced Blue posts on wowhead promised it’s gonna be like TBC again. I’m too old to be convinced that easily.
But don’t get me wrong, I respect your POV I just don’t want that to happen.
I think you are just afraid of change because you like the game as it is now.
If that is so, i completely understand you.
Its just that i fear that without those changes, it wont Survive much longer.
Thats the difference between us
if you read alittle more careful, its telling you, they lower raids, will be more new player friendly. while the latest raids stay as they are.
we all need content with high dificulty, or we get borred. but for those learning (while low populated in the ilvl gap) they need some help.
worse the 10 seconds limit between purshase and not being able to buy more than 500ish destruction stones every 10 seconds when you need 80k for a honing session
@Roxx
Only have time to skim your post right now, but yes, this is massive. They nerfed honing gold cost, but took away our gold for everything else, and that’s a key reason I’m feeling down about playing currently.
If you have a Gold earner at 1445 yes you get 3-4K less gold now then 8month ago BUT:
The Leapstones (now 20g 8month ago ~100g)
The Guardianstones (now 1g before 4-5g)
Destruction stones also 1/4 or 1/5 of the price.
Then Honing Cost reductions (multiple Times)
So all in all it’s much cheaper now to hone then before.
Yes we had more gold but also way more cost to upgrade.
People only complain and complain about the gold nerf but don’t think about that aswell. Or they want with their 1472.5 alts still the free gold without effort.
Gold nerf was fine, don’t get me wrong. And your analysis of purchasing power is also fine. But it’s not much cheaper to hone now as the raw gold per tap is still the same, and we get less gold per week, so…gold is still the bottle-neck. Granted, it’s the ONLY bottleneck left, but it’s still there.
I feel kinda sad earning 40-50k in 1 day and then just spending it for the rest of the week until it reaches 0 and then all over again, but I have to. Until I’m not caught-up with th new content, saving is not an option, I have to keep honing and investing.
I definitely agree that your analysis should suffice to silence the doomposters. But we’re not quite out of the dead zone, I’m afraid.
So it’s 3-4k less + even less as mats that alts WERE selling too are cheaper now. So cool!
Seriously, seeing those quasi arguments all the time just makes me sick.
People who already have their alts parked don’t benefit from honing cost reduction anymore. They paid the full price and now they just earn less. Doing guardians on alts is pointless now, as leapstones are dirt cheap.
That’s why I said that. People like me who parked alts before Brel release at 1490 are not affected by the gold nerf only that I now hav to do Vykas statt Valtan
Most of us did the same, sure. But this issue won’t go away you know. Do you think you’ll be able to make them akkan ready too? Yeah good luck with that.
Currently they are 1560, 1541, 1540, 1540, 1530, 1515. so yes step by step I get them to 1580
not to mention that all the cost from stones and leaps when to orehas… so, you get to pay the same for honing while getting WAY less gold
HAha and step by step equiping them all with level 9 gems too?
Keep dreaming.
