Either 25 man teams won't see a decent drop rate on these Thunderforge items, and go back to the 10 man groups that are easier to run from a logistical stand point... or, 10 man teams are going to be outraged when 25 man teams are gearing up (via Thunderforge items) insanely quickly... For this point, think back to T12 and the fun of Dragonwrath.
I will say that I give credit to Blizz for trying to fix the hole that they have dug themselves into, but I guess I don't see this working out the way they hoped. Honestly, I don't think there is a solution that is going to please everyone... One side is always going to be unhappy (those sides being 10 vs. 25 man teams).
I am going to take a "wait and see" attitude to all of this. Who knows, maybe Blizzard hit the nail on the head, and things will start to smooth out again when this goes live.
