When challenging a Kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.

Funny how that works right? Like...how the game used to be? Challenging....what a stupid idea.

You need to change your signature Makes me giggle reading it.
Also - what I said above. You don't need to gate content if the content is already difficult.
Player power needs a nerf, gear needs a nerf (epics should not come from world quests, blues should 90% come from dungeons, quests give greens). World quests/mobs are harder to complete/kill.
Creates content that you can't steamroll because you don't outgear it instantly when hitting 100. Player power is too high, we're insta-gods after the first raid tier when it comes to world content/heroic dungeons and ALL of that is instantly worthless.
Because every game that has content that actually lasts more than a week has it time gated or else everyone burns through it instantly.
Lets take a look at WotLK, where ppl said "most subs best exp":
1. Naxxramas was out at the start, it was cleared 2-3 days after release.
2. Ulduar: dont remember if it had time gated wings.
3. ToC and the Daily hub was time gated. The raid was 1 boss per week and the dailies were locked by reputation levels, which were locked behind the amount of dailies that you could do a day.
4. ICC each wing was time gated, 1 wing per week.

At what point does "isn't free" becomes irrelevant? Sorry but no company in the history of humanity is going to take a profit loss. It is dumb, actually no outright moronic to even think it.
Every company in history: We could do X but it will give us less money, so lets not do X
Things can be grindy without timegating them.
Jsut thought i would inform you on that.
Grinding is a part of any mmo.
Timegating is taking away player choice of how to play the game.
So you have all saturday off and can grind all day so you can catch up to your guildies? To fucking bad LOL. You can grind for 20 minutes and then you have to wait 24 hours before you can grind again.
Are we having fun now?
Time gates have been around since Vanilla. Ony scales for Nefarian were aquired and capes distributed pretty slowly. Initially Kael and Vashj only dropped one vial per week for the BT amulet forcing numerous runs before you could even set foot in BT. Wrath introduced time gated raids in the argent tournament and ICC. Cata had gated raids as well. MoP had dailies and reps that might as well have been forced time sinks.
I don't know which methods you don't consiter time gates.
I loved the attunements/keys, and i sadly never got my Hand of A'dal title, but the whole point of the gated Legion is because Blizzard has stated they want you to take in the environment and story, learn why you are here and doing things. Which is also why they came out with Chronicles Vol. 1 and the Illidan novel. Just wanted to say I agreed with you whole-heartedly.
