But if they want to experience the content, well, they can't really do that unless their gear is appropriate for the level. Otherwise they experience a faceroll, as soudrinker said. How about another solution: don't drop any gear in raids. Then people who want to see the content can continue to watch it on youtube, and those who want to experience it at the appropriate level of difficulty can do so no matter how late in the expansion you come to it.<br /><br />For bonus points, we could do away with levels altogether, or at least with automatic stat increases through levelling.Dàchénghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994982502333811797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-86892350097378186122012-05-17T11:02:51.401-05:002012-05-17T11:02:51.401-05:00I'm not suggesting that it is a perfect soluti...I'm not suggesting that it is a perfect solution. But it's surely better than not seeing it at all. With the lack of gear incentives, players aren't going as often, or as willing to struggle, as in the latest content.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-36611827592654529892012-05-17T05:55:54.057-05:002012-05-17T05:55:54.057-05:00You don't "see content" when you ove...You don't "see content" when you overpower older raids. You can 1-man Lady Vashj these days since cores don't immobilize. Is this "seeing content"? No, it's grinding for mogs.<br />I think that to "see" Lady Vashj you should at least be exposed to proper mechanics of the fight. Cores should immobilize, strider must be kited (if only a little), and if enough elementals get through to Vashj she should oneshot everyone in P3.souldrinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04763196121640763477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-1780131862001693482012-05-05T16:52:43.721-05:002012-05-05T16:52:43.721-05:00"I want to enjoy all the content as if I had ..."I want to enjoy all the content as if I had been here all along." Not even remotely accurate. This would not be "like they'd been there all along". It's not as if it is without precedent, given that we have several previous expansions of outdated raids which have been allowed to be overgeared to the point of needing only a handful of people.<br /><br />All in all it fits with the claim by Blizzard that they want players to see content.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-77523271675922309642012-05-05T12:18:29.843-05:002012-05-05T12:18:29.843-05:00Player: "Hi Blizzard.
