Making Heroics harder but keeping T4 content nerfed is NOT what we asked for

Who fudging asked for this please?

we asked for pre-nerf T5+ content. T4 would be totally fine post nerf.
But WHO asked for pre-nerf Heroics?

Who? - Nobody
When? - Never
Where? - Nowhere

TBC content this time around was already tailored for multiple alts. Your own changes showed us this. Account wide raid attunements, Heroic access from friendly for alts (when the main did it the normal way).

Most people would have idled at that gear level (preBis/T4) and decided from there to continue the journey. that would be the natural progression of things in this itteration of TBC.
And then either decide if ppl not clearing t5+ drop the nerf, or do it 2-4 weeks before the next content patch. That would have worked wonderfully.

but this… this is bs that nobody asked for, your you are not telling us everything (thats irretating either way)

You wanna know whats likely happening now?

Now you’re gonna get people on their low tier alts with way less gear than they would normally have, stepping foot into heroics earlier with worse gear then in 2020, scuffing and ripping in their daily HC lockouts.

I ask for pre-nerf Heroics.

Pre-nerf dungeons is AWESOME. Many people asked for this.

I agree with the sentiment of OP’s message though.

I would much rather have harder raids and a bit easier HC’s.

As it stands people will go into Karazhan with far less than Pre-BiS as gear will be much easier to obtain there than it will be in heroics + the majority of the gear won in Karazhan and Gruuls is far superior than what you get in heroics.
I don’t plan running heroic Shattered Halls or Blood Furnace in blue gear for 2hours+ when I can get more value from a Karazhan run that takes the same time or just a bit longer.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and I personally think that pre-nerf heroics is a step in the right direction. Harder heroics is a hidden “buff” to T4 content, because as you say people will have way less gear in Kara/Mag/Gruul - which will make it slightly more difficult.

Tier 5 is what really matters though - and I hope that a decision will be made to release SSC/TK in pre-nerf state.

For Dungeons - Prenerf for sure.
For raids? Have both difficulties so casuals can go Post-nerf, while others pre-nerf. Have pre-nerf drop a bit more gear. Thats it.
