Blizzard before S2 starts do this

Based on what? The decline in M+ runs this season isn’t out of the ordinary compared to other seasons.

it is mate look at the numbers in Raider io and other similar websites

That’s what I’ve done. There is always a significant decline. The further in in the season, the less runs performed. That’s just how it is, with regular dungeons, raids, M+, and rated PvP.

Had a discussion with others about this.

First raw numbers are missleading. They depend on total player count which we dont know. You could say that S1 of TWW has similar numbers than S1 of DF. But DF came after the dumpster fire of SL. So if I tell you that TWW has 4M more players than DF, but get the same M+ runs you would not reach the same conclusions.

Unfortunatelly, the total player count is something we will never know. So we can ignore it for now.

From teh data we do know from Raider IO, the problem IMO is not the raw numbers. Because if you look at Raider IO raw numbers across different seasons you are 100% correct.

The problem IMO is the distribution of those numbers across key levels. What you want is a gaussian curve, with most people (the mean) at some X key level. And you want that X key level to award Mythic vault.

Instead we got a uniform distribution between 1 and 10. Which means that the lower end of the spectrum are squished to higher keys, and the higher end of the spectrum are squished into lower keys.

That means that while the M+ system satisfies the “normal” (if that even exists) player that just gets his gear and vault… it leaves a significant chunk of people dissatisfied and frustrated (those at the lower and upper spectrum).

And that generates a ton of discontent.
