Could Flex Raiding Be Coming to Season of Discovery?
When Molten Core was first released in Season of Discovery, there was a bug that allowed players to enter the raid with parties of more than 20 players. Since players could enter other raids such as Azuregos, Lord Kazzak, and Onyxia's Lair with up to 40 raiders, players assumed that this feature was also available in Molten Core. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a bug and not a feature.

About one week after its release, Blizzard reduced Molten's Core's raid size down to a maximum of 20 players. Many raiders were upset with this change, stating that they would now have to bench some of their Guild members to fit this roster. However, after receiving this feedback, it appears that Blizzard is looking for ways to add variable raiding to Season of Discovery's future phases.
Thank you for the feedback and interest in variable size raiding in Season of Discovery. The bug that allowed more than 20 players access to individual instances of Molten Core at launch resulted in unintended design and technical consequences and needed to be fixed.
We’re pleased with how this system is playing out in the Onyxia, Kazzak, and Azuregos encounters and are excited to find ways to continue incorporating this system into more raids in future phases of Season of Discovery.
Thank you again for your feedback on this.
