Greetings!
As we’ve put a lot of thought and care into crafting the upcoming Mists of Pandaria Classic experience, we’ve developed two important updates, and we’d like to provide insight into them.
Raid Finder in MoP Classic
The journey through development of Classic expansions has given us countless opportunities to look back on the intent (and the outcomes) of decisions that the original team made about certain features. Fortunately, we’ve gotten to discuss those decisions with the same team members who made them (because they’re still here at Blizzard) and ask whether they were successful in accomplishing their goals.
We’ve also listened intently to players as they recounted their memories and experiences with the original content, which we’ve been given the incredible opportunity to bring to life once again, both for players who experienced it first back in the day, as well as for all-new players living it for the first time.
In 2011, raiding was a relatively niche activity, largely limited to organized guild groups that expected a fixed raiding schedule, and pickup groups doing current content were nonexistent on most realms. Thus, the development team introduced Raid Finder towards the end of Cataclysm to make raiding more accessible, despite recognizing that it would weaken some social bonds, because so few people were actually getting to face the Lich King or see Ragnaros after playing through Molten Front content.
In progression Classic, however, we’ve seen far, far more players participating in Normal raiding, and there is every reason to expect that to continue into Mists Classic.
Considering all points of view and weighing our options very carefully, we made the decision to develop MoP Classic without the Raid Finder system.
Classic Progression realms have evolved differently over the last five years than original WoW did in 2007-2012. Classic players have built a robust and consistent raiding ecosystem, and we believe that moving into MoP Classic without a Raid Finder system will set the stage for a stronger raiding community to emerge.
