Similar to rotating m+ dungeons from older expansions, why not do the same for raids? I feel like this alone could bring back many given the amount of nostalgia is much higher on the raids side of things.
Personally, I’m thinking I'd rather wait on buying the expansion until old expansion raids are added to the seasonal raids rotation or turned into solo queue raids.
I’d like to play the full game, not just a patch or an expansion. I already paid for previous expansions and it makes no sense to see it all deserted and made obsolete.
It would be nice if they could at least turn the older raids into solo or 5 man challenges at least with some interesting new cosmetic-only rewards.
Without variety and lots of choice, WoW PVE gets super repetitive fast.
Now that WoW's future is looking more evergreen than ever, I am already dreaming of the possibility that one day we will be able to queue for 5 man or solo challenge raid encouters encompassing all previous raid bosses from all of WoW's previous expansions.
There really is no reason not to be able to queue for solo older expansion raids (all of them, not just a few LFR level ones and from a single unified queue) especially when you can do so in almost all the competitior MMO games.
We are already soloing this content, except one shotting gets old quick and is super boring and unrewarding. There is so much more enjoyment when you feel both rewarded and slightly challenged as a solo player. I would even scale them to max player level and let solo players have fun given the quantity of content variety WoW has and the richness of encounter design variety.
Another possibility is to simply make available all older expansion raids at LFR difficulty setting through the LFR mode queue and we're talking real variety here especially when done in rotation. THAT would be amazing as an addition to current expansion LFR raids so people aren't doing the same ones all the time in the most accessible, easiest and most played raid difficulty setting. As for rewards, the usual TW currency is good enough especially if they add raid related thematic cosmetics to the TW vendors.
