It might not be spring, but World of Warcraft players are in the midst of a season of discovery. With the launch of the Shadowlands expansion in November, players are calling for more 10-man raids.
That’s because 10-man raids feel more personalized and allows players to progress without a large raid team. As players master raids, taking them on with only 10 players helps them to experience the content at a higher level.
This type of content also allows players to explore and develop their own strategies for the content. Because the group is smaller, with fewer stragglers, players are more capable of experimentation. With a larger 25-man raid, compositions for a fight often more rigid and don’t require the same level of finesse and coordination.
The demand for more 10-man content in WoW is threefold. Not only does it give players a chance to work on bosses with a group they are specifically invested in and connected to, it also allows guilds to run two different strategies at the same time. It gives players more opportunities to speedrun their raids.
10-man raids also allow players to keep track of achievement progress more easily. Achievements in a 10-man raid are more attainable and make some of the more difficult content less intimidating. For players who are unfamiliar with this type of content, 10-man raids provide an opportunity to learn the ropes without being overwhelmed by a larger group of 25.
WoW players argue that 10-man raids are a valuable part of the game and that adding more of this type of content would be beneficial for the community. Players are looking for more opportunities to challenge themselves with a smaller team and tackle more difficult content without the need for a bigger guild or raid team.
Overall, WoW players are embracing the season of discovery and calling for more 10-man raids to help them reach new heights of success. These raids provide a unique and personalized experience, allowing players to work as a team without a large group. It’s a chance for players to perfect their strategies and challenge themselves in the world of Azeroth.
