This is probably the result of them being hypocritical in supporting the protests.

What is this
Added in the latest WoW patch, sort of a challenging solo mode. You can do it with groups, but due to scaling, it's more efficient to go alone for most classes. You earn a currency which is used to buy skills to make the visions easier, and after maxing the skills you can buy cosmetics. You can also get masks which are modifiers that make the visions more difficult but give higher reward.

Basically it's the best piece of content in WoW since Mage Tower.

It is funny how they got so pissed about the hong kong protests, and never actually apologized for what they did.

Eh, "challenging" is kind of relative. Five masks is kind of annoying, but that's just because of the halved sanity of Long Night. I can four mask it in my sleep on multiple characters, but once I got the title and the mount for solo five masking them, I haven't bothered doing five since.

Of course its relative.

Visions have the same problem that the Mage Tower and all recent solo content has had: not scaling with gear. At the end of Legion when artifact traits were buffed like crazy, a lot of the Tower challenges were trivialized. Completing them during Tomb of Sargeras was an accomplishment; completing them after Antoras was expected.

I dont know how the gear scaling should be handled, like maybe copy the timewalking set up and set everyone to the same item level? But there needs to be a way to retain the challenge.

They're not comparable in that regard, since Visions came out in the last patch with the last raid tier. Even then, Mage Towers were more dependent on the difficulty of the actual boss than anything else. Assassination Rogues got theirs done pretty much immediately, since Sigrid was an easy boss and their toolkit was perfect for countering pretty much everything she did. Outlaw Rogues on the other hand had to deal with the Imp Mother boss and didn't have an ideal toolkit to counter her, so most rogues finished that spec during Antorus.

Visions difficulty is simply based on how mobile the class you are playing is, and how good its aoe is. Bonus points for Twilight Devastation, but the Focusing Iris worked just fine for my rogue.

I just did a 3 mask solo run today and it was pretty challenging, but I'm just a casual that doesn't even do M+ so my ilvl is only 449.

I doubt I'll be able to do a 5 mask solo at all, cause I did the 3 without long night or daredevil and still almost died.

I finally learned how the vials work though so that made things a bit easier
