Just a thought on how to make mythic raiding accessible to the player base. Cause it’s kinda on the ropes. Based on the post by BDG. I kinda wonder if it’s a dumb idea. Cause I only had a very short stint in mythic raiding. Then got fed up but would be interested in what people think.
Move raid utility to an external spec. Call it path of the titans. All melee have access to one path, all ranged have access to another path, all tanks have access to another path and healers and so on. Each type has 10 nodes, and you get 5 points. So that 2 of each type can effectively bring all the buffs. That way you balance the game around 8 man or whatever. You change the way buffs function lore wise. So if a priest is bringing mark of the wild, it changes to blessing of the wild. Because you entreat the titan of life to bless your party with its blessing. If druid a druid is casting said buff, it still says mark of the wild. Trick is you don’t scale bosses based on players at any level. You can zerg at any level/mythic boss with 15 players, but you won’t get the achievements or mounts. You do it to farm items and experience. This has the added bonus of making blessings stack. Making mythic content easier. Groups got low dps. Have two blood lusts and so on. Buffs don’t stack in M+. You have a tournament mode without having to make a tournament realm essentially. Do it across the board. Normal heroic as well. One thing I would do, is make it so that race to world first opens up the zerg mode for everyone. Once they clear the last boss on mythic, heroic and normal. Race to world first becomes a community event. Just because I would like that last boss kill in mythic to still have meaning to the community. Kind of like Ahn’Qiraj, where the people who rang the bell got a specific title and mount after it opened. Where the first 30 guilds to clear that mythic boss within a week of it being downed first time. Get that specific title and mount in the hard mode. Making it incredibly difficult to sell that title and mount as well. Modes still offer a mount but only 30 guilds max per region will have that title and mount. It can be a very subtle difference in the mount. Feathers around the neck are a deepish purple rather than a black. It just means when u see that version of the mythic mount or title in game. It’s like wow, that player is the mad top 1% of players and he is chilling in my M+ group. Like bumping into a Hollywood star moment but with wow. Whereas now you see a player with a mythic mount/title and think. How much gold did that cost. It just means that there are titles and mounts in the game. Where you have to be good at the game in order to get.
I then began caring what I do.
And something that should be looked at. Either remove them entirely, or let us have old scrolls back that provided it at a decent level.
