Lets just state some facts here and maybe it will make sense to people.
Fact #1 Ensidia cleared Grand Crusader on Magtheridon
Fact #2 Ensidia immediately took a free realm migration after they already cleared the instance on Magtheridon. They went to the Tarren Mill server.
Fact #3 Free realm migration off of Magtheridon EU has been available for MONTHS.
Fact #4 Ensidia immediately cleared Grand Crusader after the guild was migrated to Tarren Mill and received A Tribute to Mad Skill.
Fact #5 Ensidia has performed more tries than any other top 20 guild in the world. Them saying others would have done the same is just trying to soften the blow. The fact is no other top 20 guild has cleared Grand Crusader and then immediately took a realm migration
Fact #6 Ensidia now has a major advantage going into the next reset. They have extra clears of 10 man, 10 man heroic, 25 man, and 25 man heroic. We could be talking about 50 pieces of gear easily. Some of them huge upgrades from 226 all the way to 258.
Fact #7 Anything that Ensidia does from this point on is tainted when it comes to a fair progression race. They have more experience and more gear than any other guild that is capable of competing for world first kills and or achievements.
Fact #8 If Ensidia cared about a fair progression race they would have taken the realm migration before they chose to clear the instance. This fact alone should make it obvious as to what their exact intentions were.

All of that aside. In my opinion their Crown Prince of Dubai was probably very upset about Paragon and Stars getting kills before them. I would not be surprised if he forced them into doing this honestly. Money talks and BS walks. All of the above actions come from a guild that threw a fit that you could do hard modes in Ulduar without having to clear the instance on normal first. I don't understand how a guild can make statements that clearly promote fair play can then turn around and do what they did. I myself play for a very good guild. Were not that far behind Ensidia around top 30. My whole guild is upset about this. Regardless of what reasons Ensidia gives the facts above are true. And there is too many of those facts to call coincidence. The playing field for top10 guilds is now skewed. Ensidia will have a major advantage until a Tribute to Immortality is complete. They will always have more gear and more tries than any other top 10 guild out there.
If you too believe that the race should be fair might want to do something about this.
Email the administrator for WoW Progress about this. Explain your thoughts on it. Personally I think their score should be adjusted for 7 days. While I do not think this will solve the issue of them having more gear it will at least make a small attempt at making things fair to other guilds that will get Mad Skill this week using the same amount of tries that Ensidia had last week. The fact is nothing can be done about the gear. But at least this will be something. I also believe that every achievement they get in Grand Crusader should be adjusted 7 days. This can and should be done to somewhat make it fair to other top 10 guilds capable of competing for world firsts. You can email the administrator of wow progress at

EDIT: I also feel that any guild that clears an instance first and then transfers for more tries should be penalized by having their score adjusted 7 days. Not just ensidia. The playing field should be as level as possible without people doing things like this to gain a major advantage over others weather its on a world basis or even a realm basis. Everyone should have the same amount of tries as everyone else.
