I could have a point because I got my god damn hc weapon 2 weeks ago and I've been off for one week...
So yeah, delay it one more month so I can enjoy that darn sword xD

There's a mountain of difference between 8 bosses (that were retardedly easy on all levels) for almost 1 year, on top of that near enough slising everything in half in terms of dmg / hp across the board, and then having 16 bosses for 4 months.., using your own analogy, they might as well release a new content patch every month, because surely that would make perfect sense -.-
Try n' look at the rate of which things are being ptr tested.., does anyone want a buggy release just because it's new content?- or maybe that is what people want, so it allows for cheesing...
Do I think it is a little too soon? Yes. Do I mind the new content release? No.
As some said, I need to try harder next patch if I want to get all heroic bosses down...only 4/16Hc atm on my 25 guild.
It's tuned for 502+. Enjoy the inevitable wipefests if your group is geared below that.
Besides, Blizz should not cater to your kind who want to overload people with content, you're the reason why quality went down, because you want them to rush content. The game would be far better off if every tier lasted at least 8+ months.
the overall feeling in my guild is that it is a shame 5.2 is coming out already. we're 12/16hc atm and had liked an extra month for more progress before starting on the new content.
we aint complaining that it is too early, but if it was a tad slower we wouldnt be angry about that also.
If T15 normal is tuned for 502, most guilds will not be ready for it. Go to wowprogress.com and find the guild rank where most raiders are 502, or close to it.
All signs are pointing to a coming collapse in raid participation in T15. This could get extremely bad for Blizzard.

Its exactly because of this. YOU whine that other ppl whine, and YOU don't have an opinion. People gave you stats that a 7 boss tier content lasted longer than this one that has 16 + 2 world bosses and yet there are enough bored people willing to troll the ones that actually play the game.
At this point this whole discussion is divided into 2 camps.One that have people playing and not no-lifing trying to finish the current tier, and the other group is consisted of players not raiding at all, or only clearing LFR. Now that this patch is about RAIDING, why can't you give some credit to the people that actually raid and get into their situation.
There is evidence to suggest, in lower activity and no increase with the Wrath China launch, that falling Western subs during T10 were masked by new ones in China when Wrath launched over there. Also, 4.3 saw a drop of 1 million players within six months there is no evidence to suggest that players would tolerate a lack of content for so long again and that the game would not bleed subs with eight month long tiers.
complainers will always find something to complain about. and no it's not coming too soon for the people who have played since launch
That's the point, yes. For that reason, tiers need to last way longer.

You can't really compare it to 4.3, as that raid wasn't even nearly as high quality as the T14 ones, and only had half the amount of bosses. Most people enjoy T14, and would still do so for the next few months.
my Guild is Atm at 14/16heroic, so when the Patch goes in middle of March online its Perfect and we have Content clear with 3 days raiding in a week
I think it is generous to say that the guilds working on Heroic Heart of Fear are in with a shot of completing the Heroic Raids according to WOW progress there are 915 25 man and 5355 10 man guilds that have killed the 2nd boss. Even if we discount that many of these players will be running both 10 and 25 man on different characters that is at most just over 76k players.
Do you expect roughly 4 million players to continue to pay for the game without anything new so 76k raiders can earn a Feat of Strength?
Haha, nice try.
The truth is, only 450 guilds killed Sha on HC yet. That's between 4500 and 11250 people. It would be more than fine for 11k people to wait a few months so some more can catch up.
11k is only about 0.12% out of 9.5 million, and that's generously assuming every Sha HC kill was 25man, so the true percentage is actually way lower.
