2x means more activity in the server. I like a busy server. FOMO w/e id rather miss out on a busy server than deal with 1x on a slower server. phase 3 felt like a raid log and boring. I want that Chaotic mess!
I think weekly lockouts are fine.The problem with the weekly lockout in P3 was there was no other content to go with it.People farmed out Ashenvale in p1 and STV event in P2.The honor tokens from STV were also no longer worth it after the cost change to 1 silver blood coin each, so people were done with STV after 1-2 runs in phase 3.Nightmare incursions were also not really worth it after hitting level cap.In phase 4, you will have a new outdoor event and Alterac Valley opening up, max level dungeons to farm out tier 0/0,5 (and also a new secret dungeon).For raids you have 2 world bosses, onyxia and MC. These being weekly is enough probably.
100% agree that going back to twice weekly raid lock outs is a bad plan. I like that its not so time dependant raiding.
remove lockouts entirely, let people raid when they want. if you want to just spam a raid until everyone gets their bis do it. if you want to just do a raid once a week for fun and chilling with friends, then do that.
I play heals and like to support my group so feeling obligated to raid twice weekly would likely kill the game for me significantly faster than 1 lockout would I assume a lot of healers and tanks will feel this way simply because our roles are harder to fill.The best part about being 60 is there's more content to do so I don't feel like extra lockouts are necessary.
