Q u o t e:
Why was there not an item level check on this like there was in ToC? Arguably the most important encounter in the game and you do nothing to help the 10man strict guilds hold to even a bit of glory? As WotLK as gone on you have been marginalizing 10man guilds more and more. Whats next? Are 10man going to drop blues in Cat?
Q u o t e:
So even with the "thousands of hours of work" you put into the Lich King, you're ok with people cheesing him?
Q u o t e:
It's quite a feat that blizzard released a final expansion boss that was killed within 1 day of it being released. That says more about the folks who created the boss than the ones who killed it. If it took you thousands of hours to make something that was beaten this quickly, then you need better designers.
Q u o t e:
Funny thing is, that fight had a 100% chance of dropping a special mount, just like this one does. You don't think heroic Lich King is going to have something similar in terms of difficulty?
Q u o t e:
I'm looking through the loot tables, and all I'm seeing are loot appropriate off a final boss in a raid, as all the bosses save ToTC dropped.
Q u o t e:
No Invincible.
No Trinket of Uselessness.
No tabard.
No minipet.
Not even a goddamn shirt that reads "I killed the Lich King in 10 man Heroic, and all I got was a shirt".
So please, point me to this "great loot" you claim exists, because I'm not seeing it.
Q u o t e:
Zar, as you seem to be trite with the 10man raiders I've got a few questions for ya pertaining to this...
ZA bear mount. Why can't I get it anymore? Does it have something to do with marginalizing the 'effort' of others by overgearing an instance?
Champion of the Naaru. Why can't I get this title anymore? Does it have something to do with marginalizing the 'effort' of others by overgearing?
Q u o t e:
My complaint is specific to the LK. Its to the disparity between 10 and 25 throughout the expansion. When LK started things were equal, more or less the same rewards, just with differnt item levels due the fact it is harder to get 25 people together. It annoyed me that 25man could get the 10man 1st achievements, but I didnt think there was anything you could do about that.
As the expansion as gone on you have added more and more to the 25mans without adding anything similar to the 10mans.
At this point all I can now conclude is that, after reading your responses, is you just dont care about 10mans. You dont view 10 mans as real encounters and see no reason to try to preserver the achievements for the 10man guilds. They are noting more then 10 man heroics, not raids.
If the developers arent going to treat me, my guild, and our progression like it matters, whats the point?
Q u o t e:
I find it interesting that this one encounter, according to this poster, found a way to bend reality. To change the way mathematics works.
Every single encounter in the entire game, from Jergosh the Invoker to Anub'Arak v2 can be trivialized to an extent by overgearing it.
Except this one, it seems.
So, no tanks, heals or dps are necessary on Arthas, is all I can assume from this post. Because simple additive mathematics say that 10x 264 geared people will have an easier time beating this encounter than 10x 251 geared people, sight unseen.
Q u o t e:
Cute. I ask you two questions point blank and you don't answer either one.
The questions were, why is it that I am unable to get an achievement and a mount? Why were they removed?
The answer is that Blizzard didn't want to marginalize those who got the achievements with the proper gear.
How that doesn't relate to a thread in which the OP was upset because someone who overgeared an instance got an achievement seems to have gone over your head.
Q u o t e:
Are YOU trying to say that using 264 gear doesn't make 10man content any easier? Can we laugh and quote you on that?
Q u o t e:
How many nights a week to you expect people to play this game?
Q u o t e:
U sound annoyed Zar. Does this mean ur gonna hulk out and lay some killer smackdown moves on teh trollz.
Q u o t e:
Geez Zar why are you even responding to these idiots, these people that haven't even done the encounter are already complaining about it. Just let them %*@!% and moan until they actually do it.
Q u o t e:
To have a blue come into this post and say "arthas10 isn't any easier if you're in 25-man gear" is laughable.
Simply laughable, and offensive.
