Dear Blizzard,
By adding this new rule 1 month before cataclysm launch, you legit killed all the 10 man guilds even before the expansion starts.
with 10 and 25 format looting the same gear, it’s obvious that 25 man guilds will be overgeared compared to 10 man guilds.
You were the first acting in favor of 10 man guilds few monthes ago calling “some changes about family guilds about the guild level system.”
But hey, there’s still hope.
I think one big change that might allow people to raid in 10 or 25 format in depend of what they appreciate the most would be to simply give people 2 ID / week.
let me explain how is it possible and how easy it would be :
- Stay with the same 10/25 system
- Clean your 10 man raid
- In 25 man raids add a NPC at the entrance allowing you to “scale the raid on 10 man format” including all rules (2 loots / bosses, raid will allow only 10 people to enter, HP and dmg of trashes and bosses…)
Even if you talk to the npc, all bosses clean on this ID would count for your “25 players ID” so you have to choose if you do x1 10 man + x1 25 man OR x2 10 man raid.
This way, 10 man guilds will be able to reclean their raid a second time and now having a chance to get geared as fast as 25 man guilds.
For a lot of people the fact that 10 man guilds was viable was a really good opportunities to come back on stay on cataclysm. Now you just force people to join 25 man guilds destroying people hopes for legit no reason.
In hope i won’t have to quit cata just because of this foolish change called 1 Month before the realised, i was really hyped to slay this expansion with my 9 friends in 10 man format.
