But then all the stupid 20 man raiders bitch. For whatever reason Blizz chose them when they had to make a decision whether to cater to ten man raids or 25 mans for balance issues. They went with 20 mans.

I don't think your average BFA raider would be able to full clear Naxx because everyone is going to quit by level 34 after getting ass blasted in STV for hours by me because rogues are balanced

I bet they add the BFA pvp toggle feature to classic.

New heirloom armor casing that unlocks the ability to summon that heirloom on Classic Servers. 1million gold each.

I know they firmly stated that playing on the classic servers wouldn't unlock toys, transmogs, mounts etc on Live but I 100% expect them to fucking reverse course on that. It may not happen immediately but it'll happen.

They balance Mythic around 20 people, so that is how they make the raid tier. You can raid normal & heroic with 10 people if you like, and mostly succeed. You will struggle on some fights in heroic on occasion due to certain mechanics not being ideal for so few players.

I don't think 10 man mythic raids would be very good. It would be difficult to make them challenging enough. It would also make a few classes completely irrelevant, and I realize that is already the case for some, but it would just further exacerbate this issue.

I mean I hear what you're saying and you aren't wrong. However good game design can accommodate for this. If you've ever raided Mythic that isn't a top 50 type of guild you know that 10 people carry the other 20 anyway. I just find raiding in smaller groups way more enjoyable. I get this takes away from the massive feeling in an MMO to a degree as well but lets be honest, this game isn't that anymore.

I want 40 man mythic raids
Do you know how hard it was in classic to scrape together 40 people from your server who were available at the same time? "Bottom of the barrel" doesn't even begin to describe that. You obviously had 10 people who carried the other 30 mouthbreathers. This worked somewhat in MC, but once the DPS and "don't fuck this up" checks started in BWL it was obviously unsustainable.

They called him "Vaelastrasz the Guild Killer" for a reason.

Can't relate because our guild had like 70 raiders, and gave those not in the raid DKP for farming mats for the guild so everyone was relatively happy once they got in. Maybe it's the rose tinted glasses but there was rarely drama either outside of a handful of single people but.. that's every guild. Still kind of nuts to me.

also unrelated but I genuinely can't wait for Tauren heritage armor and I'm going to be fucking pissed if they remove the totem

I wouldn't mind 10 man mythic raids, I bet mythic would see a LOT more action.

I mean if blizzard can afford to just cut 800 people's jobs surely they got enough useless fucking engineers that they can dedicate a couple to balancing that.

The highmountain tauren heritage armor is pretty similar to that and has their totems on its back. so I don't see why they would remove that from this outfit.

Because it will block 100% of sheathed weapons and people will cry about it, the highmountain totem is pretty much only shoulder length

Also it's blizzard

realistically they should just artifact weapon it and let me use the totem as a big ass hammer if you're using melee.. one can dream

Maybe it's not a longshot right now, as managing a competitive 20 man raid feels a lot like a fulltime job. I don't know, maybe 15 man mythic raiding, between the 20 man golden rule and the infamous (at the time) 10 man raiding ?
