That's perfect. We can now have Looking for raid, Normal, heroic, looking for mythic, normal mythic, heroic mythic, and mythic mythic. And then for the 0.1% of the 0.1% of the 0.1% we can introduce Mythic Mythic+ with keystones that deplete if you wipe to a boss once. Only obtainable from Mythic Mythic difficulty. Once per week.

There's probably some room to blend Normal and LFR together and then Heroic and Mythic together to just have Normal, Mythic, and Competition.

I think the general consensus outside of mouthbreathers is just delete LFR and normal, make heroic the defacto difficulty for every-day raiders and then leave mythic for the guys seeking the challenge.
Id be in favor of only having a mythic difficulty.

There's been two expansions with daily required wizard chores. So I'm not seeing that change now.
Also they consider world quests to be a "success"

A tournament realm for the world first race would be beneficial to the rest of the playerbase.
And to echo the 10 man raid size. That was the best version of raiding in any game I've ever played. It was the perfect size. Enough people to feel like a raid, not so many people that half the raid is being carried by the other half and you have to deal with cliques and other horseshit that comes with trying to herd larger groups of people to a common goal.

There have been way more than 2 expansions with daily required wizard chores. World Quests just gave you more options in your dailies and less travel time. World Quests admittedly are a better version of dailies, but they are still dailies and dailies will always suck, no matter what dress you put on them.

I don't think you can say Ion's direction only caters to top mythic raiders nowadays. Limit / Method put a lot of time and dedication to the "normal" patch progression (islands grind to 80 neck, craft BiS). The two things they did competition wise was raid splits to circumvent personal loot (hardly a decision factoring top mythic raiders) and alts gearing, the latter in my opinion being a class stacking opportunity which wasn't quite mandatory for the last world first races as we now know it.
Regarding raiding difficulty, nowdays there's "content for everyone". LFR is basically a raiding tutorial, Normal is "what happens when tutorial is over", Heroic is standard and Mythic is competitive. I don't think it takes them a lot of time setting different modes since most of them below Mythic is just a damage taken factor, where you can ignore anything because it won't kill you. You can of course blend both LFR / Normal together, but there will always be someone finding it "too difficult", which is a no-go for Blizzard nowadays.

The GM of Limit tweeted that they blew 250,000,000 gold in their search of a world first. That's an incredible barrier.

And as we all know, any mythic guild worth their salt will spend that much on every mythic progression run

250m golds on a 20+ player roster isn't telling anything: Draenor garrisons, Legion and BFA boosting inflation really made people loaded as fuck if one goes into daily goldfarm. Of course 250m is a lot, but regarding 8.3 it was mostly about buying BoEs, some of them (EU) having their value inflated by "brokers" leveling the price between Method and Pieces.
It shouldn't be regarded as a "world first fee", especially because "in debt" doesn't really mean anything. Both Limit / Method guilds need 2nd crew raid split players rather than gold sponsorship, especially when you're a profesionnal organization with sponsors and twich viewers in a game where buying gold is as mundane as selecting a character.

Being in debt does mean something to these people now though, they're borrowing gold from the Gallywix community with interest and as long as they pay them back, in the future the Gallywix community will loan them more gold. They now have basically a literal goblin bank funding their raiding.
Honestly it's one of the coolest things about the race for me is that there is a deeper economy now being formed around it. Partially because it's literally called the Gallywix community which is also lore friendly and fits the WORLD of warcraft itself as if it's just a 5th Goblin faction.
As a fellow Goblin, get me in on dat shit.

It's $33,000 in tokens, which might be a negligible amount if they are making decent money off their sponsorships etc...
