While on the overall I have thoroughly enjoyed SoD and we have all been waiting for P4.
I am concerned now that the population will drop off a cliff, with people just raid logging alts once or twice a week.
Going forward into the next phases, finding dungeon groups etc i think will become a lot harder and the game will just start to feel dead.
What i would like to see, is a Hard mode of the dungeons come in, that reward a currency, that can be used to buy phase 4 raid items.
With the speed of the phases (tbh we dont know release yet of next phase) I thnk it would be cool if we can focus main spec gearing during the actual phase, and then give us the ability to grind dungeons in the next phase, to buy the off spec tier from the previous phase.
Yes, i know you could just keep raiding MC while in Phase 5, but given the state of people already moaning about 20 man, setting up multiple raids on multiple nights with 20 people, will just make some of the population lose interest. It would be cool, to be able to team up with a few lads and just grind a harder versions of the dungeons, actually being challenging, in order to earn very good gear.
Maybe just use the current dungeon currency, but make the hardmode dungeons reward more than once a day so you can farm, and then just slap a fairly substantial price tag to them, like 200 per tier or something.
If something like this came in, it would encourage guild activity in smaller groups, gives you a chance to gear up in your offspec, in your own time, instead of just raiding once a week and hoping you get stuff.
and it will be last phase gear, so not affecting the new raid etc.
