Do you miss doing dungeon / raid attunements?

[Zephre]

No I don't.

I didn't like us cannibalising smaller guilds for members then running SSC and TK over and over to get people attuned, geared ect, less time spent in past content the better.

[Justin-Sane]

Neutral. I don't miss them, but don't care if they are brought back. They're a minor inconvenience to me at most.

[Deleted]

Yes, I love the idea.

I understand it was often a pain in the ass, but I wish they were still a thing, if only to make the game feel more like a roleplaying game.

[dacoolist]

I personally though they were NEAT at the time, but deep down... omfg. So lets set the tone like this - Roll yourself back to 2004-2007. The game was new, bright, great, nobody knew wtfuck was going on pretty much (compared to today when everything is given to you, or laid out - so at least in todays world you KNOW what you're getting yourself into with raids/etc).. So here it goes: You level up to the cap, lets say level 70. You have to get flying just so you can get a quest, and fly into Tempest Keep and clear these dungeons (On normal.. still when you're new they weren't fucken faceroll like it is now with OP abilities and shit, back then stuff INSTA killed non tanks, you had to CC every single pull, and you still fucking wiped..) Then you had to pay tons more gold allll this shit, THEN find a guild that was running KZ.. this is just the beginning, you had to also Kill High King/Gruul/Mags, then go alllll through TK/SSC (And these boss's are something else, next level business back then.. insane resist gear sets, and the cost of everything on a low pop realm.. just NECK yourself)..

The jist of this whole entire fucking story is that it was RIDICULOUSLY long, and then when you carried some asshole through it.. then He gets an offer from a better guild.. You basically just shit on yourself.

Today, you just walk in and fight boss's.. if you suck asshole, you don't down the boss (I'm looking at your LFR ragers), if you're PRO (like those welfare EU players [I'm kind of joking btw, NA vs EU jab TRIGGERED]) - you'll get Mythic down pat quick, and move on with your life. Today is 100% about skill over all the wasted time back in the day.. I've wasted probably more time running OTHER fucks through attunements, then most people have even spent IN THE entire fucking game..

[Ssateneth]

Yes. Added depth/story/meaningful reason to the later dungeons/raids other that kill boss -> get loot

I did the chain for the Kara key, schoolmance key and attuement for Black Temple. It was fun at the time because it was new but I would not want to go through every expac doing attunments just to access content especially for all the alts I have leveled over the years. It was fine for the time but leave the past in the past.

I mean't for future content, not as an entire return.

Not wanting to work to catch up, yes, you are lazy. Find a guild doing said content and join them.

Agreed. An attunement doesn't take very long. I would say people are lazy if they cannot be bothered catching up by doing a reasonably sized quest chain.

I think the karazhan attunement is the only one I've never done, simply because I always just went behind the tower and fell to where the smiley face was. Easy way to bypass the gate and also summon your raid there if they played races that couldn't fit.

Good times.

Depends on the type. Attunements in the form of rep grind for dungeons for the 2 dungeons in Legion, not sure I like it.

Nah I was thinking along the lines of the old format where it is a questline that will take you around the world and give you background on the raid.

[Serissa]

Doing them once was nice but doing it again and again and again for every new guild member? No thanks.

[Self Inflicted Wounds]

They have lots of pros... Attunements were fine imo.

I think it would make more sense to have it account wide these days. That technology wasn't really around back then. That being said maybe even just faction-wide because I'm sure they could make attunements faction relevant.

[Alydael]

I enjoyed the way they handled the attunements in BC. I am not sure it would work with the current player base though. People want you to have a 715 to run a raid that drops 710 gear.... I can't imagine they would help a recruit with attunements. People are already demanding to be able to inspect your artifact power/unlock. Why? because if you are not as unlocked as they want they will not group with you. So funny how a "social" game works.

More roosterblocks in the game? i'd rather eat my own sht.

Can you elaborate? I've never even heard the term roosterblock before in my life.

[Berengil]

a rooster is a male chicken, which also has another sort of name. I'm trying to be at least a bit discreet here.

[Pigglix]

Nope, never again. Unless, blizzard make it account wide.

[Doomislav]

my 2 cents - attunements in the form of clearing the heroic versions of dungeons before you can get into regular raids seems like a logical step.

[RedGamer030]

The idea? Yes. The amount? No.
