We are more than two months into World of Warcraft's latest expansion, and one of its signature features still feels like an ugly duckling waiting to become a swan.
Delves, The War Within's new mini-dungeons, were supposed to be an exciting way for solo players to achieve the highest levels of gear and content in WoW. Don't want to raid? Don't have 35 minutes for a dungeon or a group of friends who want to join you? Delves were supposed to be an alternative track with scaling difficulty like the Legion expansion's Mage Tower challenges. They were supposed to give terrific rewards for a short investment of time and skill, but Blizzard can’t seem to figure out how to balance them in a way that makes everyone happy.
