Maybe so but that doesnt make borrowed power the correct answer
Tbe correct answer is simply better optional content existing.
I will say tho. The people who will are the same people who do now.
You rarely see raiders or m+ players complaining about a lack to do ironically, these people complain about having too much to do.
The reason people dislike borrowrd power systems is simple. They rarely actually work to what theyre susposed to and to stack do punish you for days you dont log in.
These people dont wanna have to log on every day.
They wanna turn uptoo raid nights. Do a few activities with the guild in the week and outside of that not having to log on.
Its casual players who complain about a lack to do. Because a game catered to that direction leaves very little for rhose outside the scene to do.
If you think about it. Currently a casual player can only do
-
level alts.
-
level proffessions.
-
do achievements.
-
farm content such as maw / torghast.
-
old content raids and stuff for transmogs / mounts.
Which will appease completionists however the people who liked to log on daily to see if a legendary would drop in legion, roll the dice on getting a upgrade through titanforging stc etc…
These people are rhe ones screeching for more content. Because the progression of that system now is entirely determined by launchs of story progression effectively
Problem is, yoy cant appease both, you cant launch optional systems with power upgrades. Because it loses its functionality of being optional because the community expect you to do it.
But then you have a audience wanting power upgrades accessible.
I remember talking to someone about putting the valor system into raids i.e allow raids to all award gear that can be upgraded to mythic, it just takes longer and is weekly gated.
Sounds cool for raiding.
Til you reliese, raiding guilds would start raiding EVERY difficulty. To obtain BiS items to then level slowly to maximise the raids loot pool.
Imagine having to raid 4 nights a week to clear content on every difficulty. Thatd be insane.
So one side has to effectively win here, and someones gonna bite a bullet.
WoW is the only mmorpg of the big 5, that taking a break and coming back laterz is severely punishing to, and this is terrible and why the game sees the game bleed and have to wait for a new expansion launch to see a return.
Coming back to this game. Theres so much to catch up on and sometimes u gotta question why even bother
