Heroic Dailies- Constructive Criticism

TLDR VERSION-- Despite the good qualities of heroic dailies.. something needs to be done to spread out the number of people constantly looking for 1 instance. More heroic dailies would give choices, allow for people who need gear to find a group easier and allow for more badge acquisitions If someone did a heroic daily early but needs badges and wants to do another. Also, instances need to be scaled more properly in regard to badges.



With the introduction of heroic dailies, one instance a day is generally packed with people constantly looking for a group for that instance. The reward is very decent! Extra badges and very handsome gold reward.

HOWEVER.. The system CAN be CHANGED for the BETTER!


Currently there are a few problems with heroic instances....

PROBLEMS

--One instance a day is generally clogged up with lots and lots of people. [/b] This causes Other instances to not have ANY Looking in the group for other places.

WHY is this a problem?
-People who need gear or a quest are immediately at a disadvantage. If the instance they need is not a daily..GOOD LUCK finding a group for the instance that is needed.

--Instances do not scale properly!


WHY is this a problem?
--If badges are needed, people generally look for the easy instances... Heroic Mechanar... Heroic Slave Pens.... WHY in the world would I go to Heroic Shattered Halls when I can get easy badges in Slave Pens? Again, this creates MORE PROBLEMS for people who need a quest or gear!!



Oh Mr. Wise Greenfox! What can be done to fix these problems?


FIXES



1.More heroic Dailies!! How many regular dailies can you do outside of instances? 25 a day? WHY ARE THERE ONLY 2 (TWO) Instance dailies? And one of them has no significant rewards for a level 70 anyway!
-Perhaps 2 or even 3 heroic dailies per day.
Ask Yourself this question... How many times have you done the heroic daily really early and then can't seem to find a group for any other place? 1 Heroic daily causes this problem on a “daily” basis.
-What would this do? This would create two or three instances daily that people could venture into and get badges!! More instances, More people in the looking for group! More people NOT UNHAPPY they can't do an instance they like!!
CHOICES-Who doesn't like choices? If the choices are botanica and mechanar..and u ran mechanar the last 9 days... you can just run botanica!!

2.Scale instances Properly- How in the world Do mechanar and Shattered Halls (Heroic ) reward the same number of badges? Clearly it can be seen that Shattered Halls is much harder! (If you don't agree with me on this point--- Find 2 instances you think don't scale properly and list them, NOT ALL INSTANCES ARE THE SAME DIFFICULTY—this is a fact even though my earlier statement may be an opinion).
-How would you scale instances properly?
--Simple!!! Give more badges to specific people-- 2 badges for the last boss or last 2 bosses of Shattered Halls..
--HEY WAIT! Some raid bosses give 2 badges!!!
--Thats why it would only be the last boss or so.. first few bosses would just give one, like normally now.

(I'm just using Shattered Halls for an example-- There are other occasions where this is seen)
Post on what you think!!

I like constructive threads. Just remember to separate the suggestions from the constructive discussion. I.e. post them in the Suggestions forum.

Thanks and we appreciate the thought that goes into these.
