Make mythic(raids) a challenge mode instead.

Honestly, at this point blizzards design philosophy with how RPG elements and covenants work clash with how the top .1% raiders feel.

If they can't choose the covenant/soulbinds/whatever they wan't due to the feeling of gimping themself blizzard should just make the current raid tier have a challenge mode(mythic) with pre-determined item lvl, soulbinds and covenants.

Then, the .1% can just hop in and raid

I have even better idea, how about you don't do that?

Mythic raiding is fine and will be fine with covenants too.

I have and even better better idea: Bring back Ulduar Hard Mode

I'm going to hit you with the hottest jam of the summer.
Any system that inhibits optimization has always been a problem for the *insert made-up number* people who raid and/or do arenas and or do M+.

Remember before dual-spec?
Remember when respeccing to take chillblaines on magmaw (and only magmaw) cost gold?
Remember when Artifact weapons made applying multiple specs difficult at the start of the expansion and playing alts difficult near the middle of the expansion?
