Why cant the old content be easier as a solo player or 5 group to farm mounts and the transmog gear that exist in warfronts Heroic, want this content to be more accessible for solo players that are 60 or 70!

It can’t be easier because the players would them finish their farming goals faster - and then be at risk of moving to other games faster. It is all about the player retention.

Honestly, even if you could solo them, without tweaks it would take maybe close to two hours to complete since your progression is gated by resource generation to complete buildings.
Really I think that’s why warfronts were a failed feature. Players want to run around killing stuff, not gather resources. I don’t think the majority of today’s WoW players played the Warcraft RTS games so even if it tried to have some nostalgia appeal it simply fell flat.

For the exact same reason you can solo old raids only once a week. To encourage you to keep your sub active.
I don’t think you can so easily run out of things to collect in this 16 years old game with all the content added over the years. What this does instead is make people not even try the content at all.
Finishing old content a bit faster is better for maintaining players rather than the playerbase completely ignoring it.

There’s so much to do in this game dont think the content is gonna be steamrolled so i move to another game if this Warfront hc is solo que, so i atleast can do this content! The big issue i cant find people wanna do this 1 per week to get transmog gear i just wanna play it by myself then or 5 man party instead of 15 random people who dont want to do it
Make it come back as a BG change the people req or make solo que and tweak that would be awesome blizzard!
This is so true.
Many of the technigues to drag out an expansion are a False Economy. I take a look at a grind and decide that it’s not worth even starting it as it’ll take way too long. People’s thresholds are different and mine is quite low but I think Bliz often seem to think more people’s thresholds are much higher.
The Anima drought in early SL put me off Anima collection and Sanctum buildings altogether. So even now I only have a rank 1 of the buildings in one sanctum. I saw WQs giving 35 anima and that to upgrade a building was more than 15,000 anima and I dismisses the Sanctum as something I was going to engage with right from the start.
Because its old content and blizzard have a near pathological hatred of old content
Try tell that to Blizzard. They are the ones who are into making legacy content as grindy as possible for us collectors. Also Blizzard seem to have put a hard line between Legion and BfA, where Legion and earlier content is to be soloable while Bfa and later still is to be group content.
I know we got soloable island expeditions, but that should only be considered a cheap carrot for player retention than anything else.
