8 man endgame content should go back to the 2.x method (no baby mode) Hear me out...

You know why WoW was so successful? It's because it combined a known lore franchise, was a continuation of a known game franchise, came from a known & respected company (at the time), and was the 1st major accessible MMO where people did NOT have to group up, they could experience 90% of the whole game without being forced to group up. There is a reason why Hunter's were the highest populated class in WoW for many, many years - this was because it was the simplest class to play, and the easiest class to do stuff solo with... you had a pet to tank mobs, you could keep the pet heal.ed easy enough with Mend Pet, and you could frankly auto-attack and kill mobs.

Wow those are so rose tinted glasses. Need I link the thousands of old "why vanilla was great" threads saying so because it encouraged community through making the solo experience difficult? The class quests (warlock comes to mind) that needed a full party to take you through?

That aside: they added trusts so that solo players do not need to group. Perhaps one day they will add it to trials and older content.

Perhaps they will let raiders skip normal and go straight to Savage like every other game. Its all about choices and preference. I don't use trusts unless I'm doing laundry and want to farm pets and glamour. You can run all the dungeons with trusts exclusively and that means nothing to me.

I humor you and say, yes, you are still not reading my posts. Who knew wanting alternative options for different people meant I wanted to lock the story away only for me?

Edit: also while it is hard to determine how many people cleared content on WoW before AoTC, you can tell that participation isn't small enough to even say that solo players dominate the game. You can even see key clears, which are arguably more difficult on higher tiers, have more participation than raiding. Definitely not a "solo" experience.
