    In Cata, Halfus heroic... We 1 shot him with a poorly geared DPS in his off-spec as a tank. Similar story with that hunter boss in Firelands on heroic. Morchok heroic in DS? Same story.

    I haven't raided MoP heroic at all, but the first boss in a tier on heroic being easy? That has happened for years now. There isn't one specific group of people in WoW called "heroic raiders". There are different guilds, each progressing at their own speed. Some of these blaze through certain portions of content to reach the content designed for them. Back in firelands, only Rag heroic was designed for the harder guilds (with Baleroc being an exception due to gear constraints for a week or 2).

    Having superhard encounters that take weeks to kill was something people looked forward to in the past, but the playerbase as a whole has changed. When they released the wall that was Heroic Ragnaros, many guilds stopped raiding due to lack of motivation. When they finally killed him they felt a sigh of relief, not a epic feeling as you described. I to remember that feeling, but I think WoW has moved too much away from such an environment to have such encounters again.
    IMO I consider myself a "heroic raider". I finish the content in time and I am most often completely heroic equipped which defines me basicly as an heroic raider.

    Im not saying that i am a Hardcore raider, or a progress raider. I propably coul be one if I wanted to invest more than 6 hours time into raiding but I just dont want to.


    Now the curren't problem I have with these content races or World First or something like this is that they are plane boring.

    To be honoust... I don't think thats an achievement at all to raid 16+ hours a day for 2-3 weeks to get the content clear. It has nothing to do with skill at all. ( I am not saying that the top guilds in the world don't have skilled players, they propably have the most skilled players they can get) But with so much time and dedication its no a miracle they down these bosses so fast.

    I really think rayding should be time limited per day or even per week. Give raidguild just 10 hours of raiding per week and you will see the real difference in skill.

    If I remember correctly they stated a few times that while they were very happy with the ulduar model it is very difficult to implement for multiple raids. And now that they have heroics and normals it would be weird for one tier to have hard-modes instead of normal/heroics.

    Sorry, your ilevel needs to be higher to derail a thread kek.

    Keep on topic mate! Down with Heroic modes!




    You should be able to clear the hardest mode in a game without insane levels of time commitment. A competent guild that raids 3 days a week should be able to clear it in 1-2 months. Let them farm it for 4 months then release a new tier. Not so bad,

    This post should've been about why LFR is not necessary at all, since it never was.

    You don't have to be an elitist to take offence at someone asking for contect you enjoy to be removed so they can feel better about themselves, which is exactly what the OP is after. For the record I have not once asked for any so called casual content to be removed: I don't use LFR myself as I don't enjoy the experience and don't need the rewards from it but as far as most of the rest of 'casual wow' goes I use it as much as anyone (a quick glance at my armory and ach list would prove that isn't just hot air).
    I don't know the recipe for success, but I know that the recipe for failure is trying to please everyone.

    Forum stupidity at its finest:

    There is too much guess in it. It's not true. Strange enough I find some of you guys loving calling others stupid while you guys don't understand the nature of doing it is just stupid.

    There is 4 difficulties for raiding atm. pick one and keep doing that if you want to.
    99% of normal people don't care what you are doing, just have fun and don't post stupid shit on the internet about removing features from the game.
    Goddamn internets! Why the kiddo age has become so wide allready, you can't even tell if they are 12 or 20.
    I guess internet does that to teen's in todays world that they just don't learn how to behave untill they hit 30+ or something.

    So what exactly are you doing besides bashing elitists? Or are you saying that "remove LFR" threads don't get the same amount of indignant responses from casual players?

    Take that into consideration.

    I agree, heroic raid content isn't necessary, I'd be perfectly fine with the way raids were in TBC, difficulty-wise. Maybe still have both 10 and 25 for all the raids, but no other modes. Wouldn't have to do LFR, Flex, 1st week normal clear (possibly with multiple raids mixed with alts and mains, feeding the mains with gear), you could jump straight in to progressing. Also there would be a real sense of expansion-level progression, as from Karazhan to Sunwell, and you couldn't just jump to the latest tier with a fresh alt unless you had a guild that needed the class and was willing to boost. That would also get rid of the afk-to-win-raiders that LFR has brought us.

    PS: Also, heroic mode raiding hardly requires you to "devote your life-time to knock down a boss", just look at Group Therapy from Ravencrest-EU, for example. They raid 2 days a week, always have, and have cleared all heroic modes from Ulduar to currently being 8/14 HC in SoO in 25-man mode. Spending your friday and saturday evening raiding is hardly a life-time.

The first reason is that it doesn't contribute to any kinds of gaming experience but separating players into different levels and make bunch of so called elites. This game, as a game, doesn't need to be so professional and cutting-edged that requires players to devote their life-time to knock down a boss. Yes, I know Blizzard is elitism, it is always the case and this elitism is rooted deeply in their designing mind.
    Yes, because wanting to play at a higher difficulty level is solely because of "elitism"...nope, people don't want a challenge, they just want to feel "elite". Totally.

    And no, heroics do not require you to "devote your life". Back in cata, I was in a casual raiding guild that only raided 2 nights a week for about 3 hours each, and we still managed to get 9/13 heroics in T11.

So wow, we are so happy to have so many raids but unfortunately it is all the same faces and all the same contents. This alone makes this game much more boring than any time before while at the same time Blizzard is happy in cutting off the budget so he could save some money at the cost of sacrificing its fun. Strangely WOW has became a game that designers cuts off game content for saving money. Don't you tell me it's a smart way to run a company rather than committing suicide.
    I have no idea what you're trying to say here, but it sounds completely biased and wrong by the words you're using.

    Yes...that's kinda what "higher difficulty" entails. Harder bosses and higher level gear.

    Sounds to me like you're just mad because you can't play well enough to get into a heroic raid.

    PvE has been the most important part of the game since Vanilla. Not sure where you've been. And tell me, how exactly is "25 people getting together to do a raid" anti-social?

    Oh yeah, this is totally the wrong way to run the game. That's why WoW pushed back up over 10mil subscribers! ....wait....

    "No communication or interaction" ? Where are you getting this from?

    OP, your post sounds like a load of whiny, ranty crap with nothing to back up your statements other than anecdotes. I'm gonna go with RickJamesLich and ask you, "what did you smoke tonight?"

    Heroic Mode should definitely exist.

    Raidfinder or Flex however should not, I'd pick Flex to stay cause Raidfinder is just not any fun at all, most people don't really care if the boss dies or not and they are pulling absolute shit dps/healing that combined with bosses where you can just ignore all mechanics is just no fun.

    If there wasn't any heroic mode, normal mode would either be way too hard (sunwell) = casuals who are better than Raidfinder and Flex but not quite skilled/dedicated enough for heroic would have a tough time. Or it would be too easy (Naxx25) and hardcore/semi-hardcore would just steamroll the content in a day and then have nothing new to do.

    I do however think Blizzard usually are a bit too lazy when it comes to designing a heroic mode encounter. They increase the boss health, damage and add 1 new thing to the encounter. Say for example if they had made Paragons HC by having all of the bosses up at the same time and not increase health/dmg or adding one more mechanic, that could be interesting.

    hc wouldnt be needed,if bosses on normal would be as hard as naxx 40 and sunwell were at their representive levels and patches. But if blizz would do that, people will complain that they cant get to see all the content aswell

    Yeah, it sounds to me like OP is just mad that he can't get into a heroic raid, so he goes and makes this big whiny rant about "Heroics are antisocial and segregating the community! All heroic raiders are just elitists!" and other such crap.

    So the solution is to remove content?
    I dont get it :/
    I'm not raiding hc. I wont get there anytime soon. But why do I care if people are raiding it? Just gives me something to strive for. I suck at pvp and will never get any of the high end titles/mounts from pvp but why should I care if people get them. Good for them!
    Besides, the content is there. There is nothing barring you. There is no special key to enter it or some attunement of some sort. Its all up to the player. His time and dedication. If you dont have either then raid something that suits you better. heck you have 3 other modes to choose from.

    Ahaha good laugh, not trying to derail, just saiyan.

    And yea, that's what guilds can do. Good competent people can play a little bit and still clear the content since that's what it's made for. These super high end world first guilds aren't the target audience for Heroics, it's the '5%' guilds. The top 5% roughly in ranking are the target audience for them and they do just fine. It's extremely rare for them to say a fight is too hard but really common for them to say stuff is too easy.

    I very rarely see indignant responces from casual players, most of them defend their content and just want to be left alone and they don't bother the hardcore raider. I do say rarely because there are people like OP of this thread who are doing the same things that elitists are doing but from the other side of the fence.

    As far as bashing elitists go, we don't shame people who behave shamefully enough in our society. If you don't tell people that they are behaving badly then they just continue to feel that they can justify any behavior because it turns out okay for them personally.

    Thankfully Blizzard does not listen to all these people who think others don't deserve to enjoy the game.

    How? you being higer level than me makes you more powerful than me and you can do more in the game at higher level and have access to more spells!

    If anythign level disparity is a greater variable in segregating the comunity than gear at max level is!

    Same pay same power no? so why have levels in your model?
