Raiders, why do you consider raiding just not memory games ?

[KillaKilala]

Yes, based on previous experiences and feedback.

The argument you have it's an old song people keep spewing and which is also highly disingenuous. You do realize somebody has to code the encounter yes? You realize there is no true RNG in a controlled system yes? It's absolutely impossible to have a great/infinite number of variations for every single mechanic yes?

If you look at the game since its creation, ARR, every single encounter had limited variations. This game NEVER had a lot of variation, and it will most likely NEVER have them. If the devs wanted to provide that (aside from being impossible) they would have done it already in 11 years.

Even if they sink in the time and money to make 10 variations for every single mechanic in this game there will be a point where people will master all and will end up at the same roadblock.

Anyway, please continue..

Oh yeah absolutely impossible… yet somehow WoW does that, many other games do. You don’t need a gazillion variations to make the encounter dynamic, you need a system that actually interacts with players and creates a threat, a system that isn’t just a striking dummy with mechanics. Anyway, please continue..
Devs can absolutely do more dynamic encounters but I bet they’re thinking something like “what’s the point of making the fights more dynamic if players will learn to adapt anyway”. They’ve said something similar when they’ve decided to homogenise the dungeons something like”we’ve decided to remove the optional routes from the dungeons because players always go one optimal route anyway”. But that just wasn’t true, every time I went to the old thousand maws of toto-rak it was a complete mess and I loved it
One thing I don’t understand though is why they’re trying to protect players from the every smallest threat? When games like dark souls and Elden ring exist and they’re very popular even among casuals
