Grinding currency... Current heroics or scaling

[Frinz]

What do you prefer to grind currency like valor in dungeons?

Current heroics: Pulling half instance, most mechanics are ignored, AOE fests, etc.

Using scaling technology: Dangerous to pull many mobs at once, targeting and CC may be neccesary, some bosses may have one-shot mechanics.


To avoid burnouts, only the first dungeon of they day would award the currency so you don't have to run dungeons all day

if i have to grind, i want it to be in dungeons. i want the dungeons to be stupid easy. i just want my reward. i dont want it to be particularly challenging. because i am lazy.

If you go with always scaling, you will run into people later on not wanting to run it. The reason is simple, even if you do one dungeon a day, they DO get old, and spending large amount of effort on a fight you already killed MANY times is simply offputting. I do recall the last fight of the Well of Eternity during Cataclysm. People simply refused to do it after a few months.
Sure, you could avoid this if you released new dungeons often, but that so far has not been the reality. Quite the contrary, actually.

I much prefer 7 dungeons per week cap than 1 per day.

I don't have the equal amount of time to play all 7 days in a week.

I hate missing out on something due to not being able to muster the time
I hate not being able to catchup on something when I have more time

What was wrong with 7/week limit?

if the dungeons require my 734 tank to be careful, use cds have people CC nuke down 1 target interrupt etc.

i want all 700 valor in 1 go, otherwise i'm happy obliterating the place mindlessly 7 times for all 700 valor.

Most honest answer I've seen in ten years.
