Stop with the Hard Modes

Blizzard has stated in past interviews that Ulduar is designed to be a challenge for the higher grade raiders. Why can't they just make fights intrinsically hard? If we wanted to kill KJ with all the Hands up, we would have done it. I just find it an stupid gimmick.

Thoughts?

Ulduar is intended to be enjoyed by everyone that wants to raid, not just hard core raiders. Hard Modes are intended for people that want additional challenges and rewards. You might view them as a gimmick, but I assure you that hard modes will test the mettle of the most seasoned raiding guilds. The choice is yours, my friend.

With that said, we have no intention of stopping with hard modes.

Can we have hard mode loot then?


Hard mode rewards will be the best in the game.

With that said, I want to be sure that everyone understands: Hard mode is hard. Some hard modes are harder than others. Then there's Algalon the Raid Destroyer. He feeds off of your tears.
