You guys never learn that raids should never be worked around those 0.5% sweaty world raid first guys.

As long as you keep on doing that your raiding scene will keep on decreasing.

Mythic is for the sweaty world raid first guys. There’s four difficulties, if mythic is too hard then do an easier mode.

If people want the best rewards then they need to step up their game…

Tell that to heroic wrath raids. They were still hard but on the level of mythic raids today.

And around 2% actually killed LK heroic back in day yet nobody was screaming that LK should be killable by every peacebloom gathering Joe either…

I can only begin to imagine the howls of outrage if they put in a “Defile” mechanic in a raid today…

Oh I loved the “Noooooooo!!!” over the mic when someone started spreading it. It was enough to make Chuck Norris cry.

This should be the initial start settings be for the encounter and not nerfed to that level.

Its a joke, when someone died with a ghost, then you had a wipe, cuz you had a chain reaction of death.

And its stupid that u had to guess which ghost was yours. They could move 1-2 meter before you even checked it was yours and this could lead to a wipe chain reaction.

How about taking more time for your encounter design or generall design and stop rushing the content? everyone are seeing the cracks already, not only the world first raider, even ppl which just do the new labyrinth delve with the broken quest design, which can softlock your run.

'nam-memory unlocked.

Back in the day I was a peaceful Resto Shaman, whose only purpose was to be an AoE healer or a ‘Tank’ Healer. To spam chain heal or to spam Lesser Healing Wave. (The ‘Lesser Heal’ Era was so funny and stupid at the same time)

I remember Defile… and how it grinded down the soul even before it started to spread wildly out of control…
