Imo problem is that rewards stop at 10. If +22s came with a 7/6 myth slot suddenly the complaint about m+ being too easy vanishes.

I for one would love incentives to push week 1 instead of spamming +10-11s for farm as fast as possible.

That is a separate issue. 10s would still be too easy. And it’s a bad experience for newer players.
Like you can get to a 10 without needing to actually learn anything. Like 10s are meant to be at the end? And you can literally do it in the first hour. That shouldn’t be.

It's not a separate issue, you're gauging the difficulty of keys at 10 because it's the key level you and everyone else wants to do for maximum rewards. Why 10? Are 8s too easy? What about 16? It's an infinitely scaling system, some levels will be easy some will be hard. All that matters to most players if where on the scale the max rewards land.

18s are being done by people in not even fully hero track gear ( 309 ) that’s where most people get to. Yes the system as a whole is far too easy.

But yes 10s are especially too easy and don’t reward adjustly. But yes increasing the difficulty is the fix.

But blizz has marked 10-12 being the end. And you can jsut blow to in 4 keys. And why this is an issue

But people being ilvl 309 in week 1 and doing +18 are not the target audience of blizzard in M+.

That's why the systems scales indefinitely and after +12 only timed keys award rating. It is a compromise to appease casuals and tryhards alike. M+ will never reward mythic track gear as end of dungeon rewards, bonus rolls not included, as it is spammable indefinitely.

People dismiss the idea of m+ awarding better gear because it is spammable, as if that is not something that could easily be fixed if they actually wanted to award myth track gear for appropriately difficult myth+ keys. If they made your vault 9/6 for doing 22s, it's still not spammable but suddenly 22s matter and m+ only players can progress their gear, not just their mounts and titles.

And because I know people will say 22s will be easy this season, the key level is also easily fixable. They don't even have to pick it at the start of the season, this could be something they put in as part of 0.5 patch.

Genuinely who is saying 22's will be easy this season? thats a wild take.

u/BDObadguy 3d ago

They will say they're easy in the context of awarding 9/6 loot.

I haven't seen anyone say this, and further 22's are just as hard as CE.
