This guy is gonna get nerfed halfway first week. They will also build GY right on top of him so rushing him will be easier.
Sorry but Connected realms won't do much, let's asume they start with the lowest realm populations and merge them.
As the lowest populated realms have between 100 - 300 active lvl 90 players (http://www.wowprogress.com/realms/rank/eu/lang.en)
If they merge 2 of them, that makes 600 active players compared to a top realm like Twisting Nether, Kazzak, ...
600 active lvl 90 players vs 14k
They would basicly have to merge the bottom 23 realms together before those realms become "an active realm" like TN, Kazzak, ...
My Question: Do you honoustly see Blizzard merging 23 realms into one?
And back on Topic: As far as I know the pvp item only works if someone else has the pvp item active.
I doubt people are going to use a 90% health reduction item on Ordos
Only problem is that its very hard to get more then 40 ppl on a openraid because you keep getting phased to diffrent servers so too keep 2*40 man raids on the same server is hard.
What's your point? These legendaries had RNG involved too (on how fast you'll get them) as did the rest of the legendaries...So again, what's your point? This expansion's legendaries were definitely easier to get than previous expansions (mostly because you could get legendary mats from LFR).
That person, though, is in your party... they can't attack you. And on PvE servers, no one outside the group fighting to kill the boss would be flagged unless they manually switched targets to the "newly flagged" person.
And you must also remember that no one can enter the plateau after the fight has started. So a whole new raid couldn't just roll in and take your spot.

Words to live by.
It doesn't look that hard. Stack with 25+ people and heal through approx 200k raidwise damage, run out with Burning Soul, set up an Ancient Flame soaking rotation, and move the boss with the fire pools he spawns.
And it's gonna be zerged down anyway so w/e.
On realms that at 99% one factions they will just zerg him down like every other world boss.
Aye mate
OP's post reads like bad fanfiction.
Not really when you consider that world bosses were a much larger part of the game in EQ than they are in WoW. Ordos is one boss and there are 14 of them sitting in the new raid instance for you to kill and not get butthurt over. I think it's a great design, a world boss that actually adds a challenge and doesn't just feel like a weekly quest that you turn up, tap it, loot it and move on like all the rest do. People keep saying they want things to feel "epic" again, well what is epic about flying around on 4 alts per week dropping in to punch Sha and Nalak once and getting loot for it? Make people work for that shit, and if it sparks a bit of world PvP, all the better.
Ordos is not going to be nerfed, because there is no reason to.
You can buy, from vendors on the Isle, items that can:
Proc 100k extra damagr onhit
Proc +8k mainstat
Reduce all Fire damage by 50% (obviously all damage by Ordos is Fire damage)
Buy those, make sure the whole raid has them, the fight becomes Sha difficulty.
The only "hard" thing about Ordos is to meet his Enrage, nothing more.
His Abilities are:
Stack up to counter a Meteor
People will turn into Geddon like Bombs
Dodge a Fire Orb
Not staying in the fire
The loot of his Ilvl is 559 (NHC Warforged) i STRONGLY doubt that you need Heroic Gear to kill, he has merely 436Million Health even though his Enrage is at 5 Minutes, if you come up with enough people he will fall rather quickly.
Just from reading this thread it sounds like wiping a group killing Ordos will be 10x more fun and interesting than pulling dinos in the middle of a Oondasta kill.
THIS is WoW's secret Cow level! You heard it here first! (Ordos is a sub-tauren race = Cow. Fire Cow to be specific.)
Ordos a.k.a. THE FIERY COW FROM HELL!!!
He'll likely get nerfed but unless they nerf his loot as well then they can't really nerf it to the same degree as Oon. The DoT is the main thing that will cause wipes. People aren't very good at simple things knowing when to get out of a group. LFR Feng P3 comes to mind.
