Thread: Wow Raiding

    Wow Raiding

    Do you guys find it sad that the best guilds in the world are able to down the newest content, on the hardest difficulty, in just a few months. I remember all the way back to 2009 when the new content would with out a doubt take some time to down, even for the top guilds at the time like Paragon, Vodka, and Blood Legion. Now I read a blue post claiming the "top two guilds in the world will race through the newest raid content on the hardest difficulty" during some convention. I used to be addicted to PVE, now it just seems like some simple task to do, and the only real challenging thing left is PVP. I'm not saying I wanted a chance to be world first, but if the top guilds are downing this content before the actual expansion releases, then whats the point of it? Do you people feel the same? To summarize this post, I feel if the top guilds are able to clear this content without breaking a sweat, why should I even be interested in entering this new content if its that easy.

    Also back then there were no teleports, corpse run took a lot longer, plus other QoL such as CDs now reset on wipe, back then you would wait for BL/Hero timer before going again.

    So now they get more tries within the same amount of time.

    And dont forget addons. First time we did aq40 and naxx40 we had no timers telling us what was going to happen. We had to wing everything. A guild like paragon at its finest in MC when it was fresh with addons. They would wipe the floor with rag in less than 1 hour and half. 1 try per boss.

    You misread the Blue post. They are live streaming a mythic+ dungeon (5-man) run.

    lol @ you for thinking you are on the same level as world first guilds.

    if you wanna live vicariously and pretend you are as good as others at the raids then im not going to convince you of anything but quitting. just leave wow and move on.
