There isn't even much long term content in 7.35. Deep Dungeon with the new system is nice, but most people will do it once or a few times, then leave again.

I wish the new deep dungeon had the Quantum system in it but it is not. The Quantum system is for a special edition of the final level 100 boss fight that you manually queue for at an NPC outside of the dungeon. It requires a premade group and you then use your tokens to specify the difficulty. The new deep dungeon in 7.35 will be the same model as all of the previous versions.

If the new system works well for this fight, they will look at adding it to the future fights. Thats the official line but they are already fully commited to Quantum, what they will do with our input is tuning. They are going to use it heavily in 8.x as a way to reduce operational costs for the game.

Consider this a preview, nothing more.
