The devs not wanting people doing old content should be enough for people to refuse to sub. That content being rendered obsolete and useless by the devs is not cool. After all, we paid for it and it should remain relevant. No wonder potential new players aren’t recommended to play WoW by their WoW veteran friends.
No game other than WoW renders all of its raids completely irrelevant at end game, with the exception of the latest patch content, limiting its playable content to that of the most recent few months as opposed to all content in the game since the game’s launch in 2004.
People praising WoW for having years worth of content are simply liars because of this.
Solo transmog runs where you one shot bosses is not what these raids were intended for when they were experienced as part of the most recent patch content.
I would love to see them turn old raids into 5 to 10 man flexible mega dungeons with their own queue, dropping mythic 0 level gear using original loot tables as an addition to Chromie time for level 60 players or whatever the max level will be in the future.
Also would be nice to see all end-game heroic and mythic dungeons from previous expansions not currently available in Chromie time or TW added to the timewalking roaster of dungeons as well as enable old content endgame open world zones to scale to 60 during the TW event period for level appropriate rewards.
On the topic of reintroducing old expansions as standalone classic servers: It’s worse than using a “copy cat” of a system all other mmos have (which is the Chromie time/TW suggestion above), it’s reintroducing old content as completely separate versions of WoW running in parallel to each other and it will take years and years to even be able to experience a certain content after which these game servers will die as evident with classic, making it completely not worth touching since we know there is no longevity. It’s 100 times worse as not only does it briefly resurrect old content and kills it again, but it splits up players between different versions of the game.
