New Raid system...no

Why Blizzard? I can see that you really really really want to encourage more and more bad players into this game as their were in Wrath, now i do know the difference between bads and casuals here
Casuals being not necessarily bad players, but players that are good but don't raid as much as elitists and pros
and bad players being that really detrimental player base that believes all content should be faceroll easy

Here's the thing: there is no reason you should be making the first tier of content faceroll easy, i would prefer you having a non-casual game and it's quality being vastly greater, i mean, don't you have pride in this game? why would you create content that people will now just regard as a nuisance to the next tier I.E. Firelands, it will just exist at this point, instead of being a learning tool to PROPERLY prepare you for the next tier which will be harder (hopefully, unless you are following your wrath mentalities) and more rewarding

what ever happened to that rewarding feeling? certainly making 359's available through justice points in 4.2 doesn't give that rewarding feeling that i got something EPIC

EPIC is EPIC, and you, for some reason, like to make EPICS seem like greens, just common, it really is disappointing, i would prefer this game go back to the way it was in TBC, just with the new fun boss mechanics, just... the design if the game is... flawed... i do hope blizzard wakes up and realizes it should be quality over money, which, in our modern time isn't anymore...

PLUS this content was never hard, it took minimal brain capacities, its just these bad players that post on the forums (which is the majority of the people who post on forums, not all but most) that were engineered by Blizzard in wrath to be bad... because of its difficulty

Blizzard, you do how little people post on the forums yes? how about doing some in game polls to really see what people want, and not what the idiots on the forums want

This isn't a new raid system. It's been the raid system for quite some time to nerf the previous raid.

You want them to not be nerfed, you're on the forums...

Just saying.

By looking at actual stats, actual progression, time spent playing, where, and to what extent, we can see that most people are looking for more accessible raid content, so yes, we absolutely are able to tell without a doubt that the plan we're enacting is actually what players playing the game want and need, and are not just listening to people on the forums.

Any plans to keep the Title and Mount in the game? If so, that's one hell of a "slap in the face!" to everyone who did it before you gutted the place.


Can you list those off for me? I'm not super aware of all the titles and mounts given out in Cataclysm Normal raids.

I said Title (not plural) and Mount (not plural). Obviously I was referring to the Defender of a Shattered World title and the Dark phoenix mount. This isn't a case of players outgearing the content and going back to do them (which they will), you are also nerfing the content to an extreme extent. What do you feel that says about future tiers of raiding?

Should I just wait until 4.3 (or 4.4) when the Firelands receive a 20% nerf before I bother?


If you want to go back and run The Eye for Ashes of Al'ar you're welcome to do so, and I don't think you'll need a 20% nerf to help.
