They were repeatedly streamed well past when they were first released, and that has never happened with any other piece of content. No other piece of content has the longevity Ultimate does.
This is what gets me...I've seen this to a lesser extent with Savage as well. So, casuals claim there is so little interest from other people in endgame and yet... as is said here, the twitch viewers shoot up about tenfold when Ultimate comes out. Why is that, if raiders are a vanishing minority? Why is raiding still a big thing in WoW, the MMO that, despite declining numbers from its prime, still holds the most subs? People here keep acting as if adding some raid content would somehow be detrimental, but can someone tell me where all those interested Twitch viewers come from then if there's not people wanting to participate in these raids and see more of them?
