Do Not add Raiding at ALL for 4.0

This is a troll thread. Stop replying to let it die. This bad suggestion does not deserve attention.

If you are not raiding you don't need the best gear. Therefore there is no need to be able to obtain the best gear in other ways. Problem solved.

Blizzard managed to add another way of obtaining gear that is on par with raid gear through keystone dungeons in Legion. Personally i enjoyed them alot more than the current tier of raiding and higher keystones are no means easy (lvl 10 and up)

I understand where OP is coming from with having more options but then the optional way of getting gear should not be any easier than the hardest raid content in the game at the time.

I think... (I hope) he means horizontal progression.

raiding is probably the only time it ever feels like you need to coordinate your efforts (i.e., communicate). In DF dungeons, there MIGHT be a hello at the beginning and a thank you at the end, but that's it. it's otherwise mind numbingly quiet.

This old chestnut si spouted in every MMO forum I visit .. and my reply is always the same: no it isn't so let's make 'raid gear' only usable in a RAID, outside raids 'raiders' can use the gear the rest of us can get in the content we (and they) do together.

Not a raider myself but I'm against discontinuing types of content.
More endgame options would be nice but raids should still exist for those that enjoy them.

That would defeat the point of the content. May as well make Hempen Camise/Hempen Undershirt boost VIT/MND/DEX/STR/INT by 50,000 points.

No, raid gear isn't needed for anything outside raid content. All story content and optional side content - outside of the 8-man and alliance raids, and EX Primals from the current patch cycle - can be completed in story gear. Players who do not raid, or do not want to, are absolutely NOT forced to raid because the gear is unnecessary for their continued play.

Players that enjoy raiding, need raid content to keep the game interesting for them - and supply the gear they need to progress through the raids.

Two sides of the same community, we need both.
