No. No alteration of classic formula.
World of Warcraft died for me because of “retail formula”
I wouldnt mind an epic difficulty with somewhat increased epic drop chance.
Absolutely not.
A heroic version or even a 25 man version of the same raid is bound to slip down the slippery slope of the hamster wheel of ilvl grind. Big yuck. Many ew.
The only thing I would be in favor of is challenge variants which are the same group number but slightly different just for variety’s sake, not difficulty’s sake. But that’s hard work as it isn’t just +X% in health and damage on enemies so I doubt that’ll ever happen.
And of course I wouldn’t mind BFD “scaling up” (no idea how that would work) to lvl 40 so it won’t be completely abandoned as something I loathe about retail is how it ignores past content and treats it as disposable.
All right op, seems like we are a minotity, so I will go with the main pack and agree with them from now on.
True, but also: runes might trivialize existing endgame.
MC was already easy in 2019.
Scaling raids down from 40 can be a good thing, though, and even considered hard mode. Wasn’t it Naxx where completing it with just 8/20 people was an achievement?
Then why do people behave like it’s not?
Merely to enable effortless speed farming?
(in all editions: link achievement, gearscore, show off top logs, whatever else)
In that case, I can see that those people will always choose the easiest difficulty. More exactly, the optimal one, like in D3.
Blizzard said in one of the interviews that they will buff raids somehow to compensate for runes.
However, it will still all be easy. They aren’t going turn Classic into Retail and they really shouldn’t. My main is in a chill casual guild that will be perfectly capable of downing all raids and I’d like it to stay that way.
I had enough of Retail difficulty hamster wheel, I’m too old for that sht.

The reward would be a hard mode parse that lets you show off 
I’m not too old for that sht but grinding gigahard bosses for 12 hours, when 1 dumbo is enough to wipe your entire raid, just doesn’t sound like a fun thing to spend my time on.
We dont need help gearing for next phase, players are already able to solo red quests?. We are more powerful then ever before in terms of taking on levelling to 40
I would be down if power wasnt linked to it. Just more content to do.
