Solo dungeons and raids!

[TheEnygma]

I wouldn't mind story versions of dungeons and raids though. Many quests force you to do either or and with upcoming expansion, I wonder how queue times will be for those who aren't caught up (like me). Without my guild, I would've been somewhat stuck waiting for the 2.1 quest where you gotta enter Qarn so can't imagine people trying to catch up and it's like "guys, I need to do dungeon to get into story, is everyone in expansion?....hello?"

Those dungeons will be available for the same reason as they are now. The Roulette. You can bet that the Low Level Roulette will still be around and people will be using it because it gives fantastic exp. This is almost certainly how other dungeons in the main scenario will be handled.

On the OPs topic, while I don't have a particular issue with the idea of solo versions (though they do tend to feel pretty anticlimactic compared to the real thing) my concern is the issue of how much work it would take. Your basically asking for a majorly striped down version all raids and dungeons with reworking of mechanics to accommodate for single play. Infact not just reworking. In many cases for the fights to be doable and in any way engaging your talking about redesigning from scratch. Everything in the game has story linked too it.

That sounds like a hell of a lot of work. That's work not being spent on making NEW content. Not just new raid content. New content for everyone.

I certainly understand your disappointment and I think their efforts to create a two tier difficulty in Alexander is a way to accommodate that. However I don't think the effort required to make raids and dungeons solo playable at current difficulty levels is wise used of resources.

When ever you have something like this you want always consider what portion of the game that you personally enjoy and play would you be willing to give up to have it. That might give you a sense of wether it's really worth it. There is always a give and take in this.
