World of Warcraft's competitive dungeon mode is struggling

Players are dropping out of World of Warcraft's hardest dungeon mode in droves, and Blizzard is changing everything from class balance to dungeon mechanics to try and stop the bleeding. Public testing of the next Mythic Plus dungeon season is underway this week, with the first versions of many of those changes in play. That season is likely to launch early in March.

"The health of the M+ system ecosystem is a top priority for us," senior game director Ion Hazzikostas told PC Gamer in an interview.
