Two or 3 Raid Tiers?

[Feali]

With the recent reveal of the next legendary quest step after 6.1 there's been a lot of discussion about if WoD will only have 2 raid tiers since Blizzard never denied it.

What do you think?
Do you like 2 raid tiers? Are you furious that WoD could be over again only shortly after it began?

Blizz wants two raid tiers. Means they can force a new $50 expansion down your throat.

I'd prefer 3 tiers, because this expansion so far hasn't been worth the money paid for it compared to the previous ones.
But i'm unsubbed anyway, so it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
WoD should end though, it was a semi-okay idea that they flatout destroyed.

I've been pretty sure for a while that WoD would have 2 raid tiers, and I'm okay with this. The only thing I'm not too keen on is the PvE content outside of raids. If Blizzard want to keep a 2 tier blueprint for future expansions, I would like meatier non-raid PvE content, and post-launch dungeons.

[Thelxi]

Yeah I think it will have 2 very, very VERY drawn out and stunted raid tiers.

have you seen WoD? raids are the only PvE content. WoD is the formula blizzard plans to use for yearly expansions

[GreenJesus]

I want a thunder isle-esque type of content. Story driven with scenarios, and dailies, and rares, group world content, natural world PVP, and server wide progression. But, the interns working on WoD probably don't know how the MoP devs did that.

I suppose I'm okay with it, but it's also not going to happen. There will be three because it will be two-ish years in-between this expansion and the next, per usual. In order for two raid tiers to even be a thing, we'd already know all about the next expansion. And for both good or bad, Blizzard never gets anything done fast. I suppose at best they could go for a year and half release instead of a year but that would still mean drawn-out raid tiers.

I suppose if you hate the entire theme of the expansion like a lot of people did with MoP, that's one thing, but I see no point in wanting to shove more money for new content when you could get more content for free via patches instead. I've always liked the two-year model myself, they just really need to work on their pacing with patches.

Don't honestly care if there's two or three raid tiers. Just as long as there's not a year of squat after the last one.

[bmjclark]

3 raid tiers. The expansions don't feel worth $50 with less. Especially with 6.1 being as small as it was.

[Backjauer]

If we only get two raid tiers per expansion I'd be done with WoW, as I wouldn't be getting enough value for my money.

[Ukon]

I don't really have any strong emotions related to this topic to be honest.
It would be nice, with more than two tiers. But I don't really want another SoO or DS tier in terms of how long it's lasting.

This. Especially when the first tier has already been stretched out to fool people into thinking it was 2.

[MrExcelion]

I would have liked 3 equally spaced tiers, 4-6 months apart

[Zantos]

I am not ok with only two tiers. At the start I was ok with it, granted they could pull it of and we get a new expansion really soon. However, that is not the case. At this point in time, if we get only two tiers for raiding, we will have an even bigger gap between the end of WoD and the next expansion. We need an announcement asap with them starting alpha soon. As we don't have that at this point, it would suck big time if they only had two tiers.
