Nothing about mythic raiding is fundamental to the game. Actually nothing about raiding is fundamental to the game either as it was basically never on most people's raider. And actually for those it was it was for a very long time only one difficulty and quite frankly piss easy.
All of this is to say that for most people if they removed mythic raiding for the game nothing would change and no one would care and nothing would be lost.
No it shouldn't. You are thinking of single player games. Gear is not more important for world content because gear doesn't matter for world content. You are thinking of single player games again.
All through this thread you have said that world players, also known is single game players, should have some sort of progression. And to have this progression they have to have the highest gear.
WRONG.
The single players progression is leveling. Finished leveling? Find a group or quit. Those are you're two options.
No one takes you seriously. Especially when you say stuff like "people who do group content shouldn't get gear. It's about the challenge" while also saying nonsense like "world content needs the best gear because that's where it matters most". People are literally laughing at you. My friend is texting me right now laughing at you. Wow isnt for you.

No you haven't. You have never set foot inside LFR let alone any other raids. At this point I do not acknowledge Classic raiding as raiding. Retail LFR is harder than Classic Naxx. Thinking some elite in the maw is harder than raid bosses proves it.
I am not making presumptions, I am deducing. There is a difference. I am basing my conclusions solely in what you have said here in this thread. What you say is nonsense. Mobs in the maw being harder than raid bosses. You obviously do not know about raid bosses, because you think they are easier than maw elites therefore you have never raided.
Its not an assumption, when you put a maw elite and raiding on the same level, you basically tell everyone that you either dont raid at all or your raiding experience is poor af aka LFR tier, maybe normal and im being really generous here, its just laughable.

I cured cancer and won the olympics in my dreams too.
You said soloing mobs in the maw is equal to mythic raiding. As I'm sure anyone who has done even normal would agree, this shows you are either delusional, or more likely, being completely dishonest about your "raid experience".
This is why Blizzard don't "listen" to you - you are completely confused.

There ya go. Eat it up. It changes nothing. When you can't debate the point, you attack people's credentials. And it's pathetic.
Have none of you even tried soloing elites in the Maw with a full Eye?
You say Raiding is hard. What a bunch of bullshit. Please don't try PvP because it would make you cry.
Finally, congratulations on completely derailing the thread. Troll elsewhere.
Armory must be bugged - all I'm seeing is a toon with 3 bosses down on LFR, and 0/10 on normal, heroic, and mythic. Might be the wrong character I guess.
The more i look into it - the worse it gets. The kill counts are beyond suspicious - for example, that character has identical kill counts per boss for multiple tiers - and countless tiers have EXTREMELY low kill counts - like 1 kill on every boss, or 2 kills on every boss, from the first to last. This is a dead giveaway of someone buying runs. Thats not at all how progression raiding works, we would expect to see much higher kill counts on earlier bosses from re-clears.
Like i said though, there is no way its the correct character, it has only done 3 bosses on LFR and literally nothing above that.
For all intents and purposes, I stopped raiding after Nighthold in Legion. As I said before, I play casually these days.
But here is my point. None of this has anything to do with the topic of the main post.
Trying to vet people's experience in game in an attempt to win a debate is bad form.
