And they will all be cleared within the first month after opening....

That is so sad, this game is a hollow shell of what it once was.
No challenge at all.
So because one of the best raid guilds on the planet cleared the normal version of the first wing of T14, something which they practiced on the PTR for months...the game is a former shell of itself?
Correct me if I am wrong, but hasn't this always been the case with all normal mode raids...like...ever?
Heroic mode (the content made for raiders) hasn't opened yet, isn't it a little too early to complain about the game being too easy? lol
You stand corrected, and obviously never played during Vanilla when raids actually took large periods of time for guilds to clear.
I'm guessing you didn't start playing till Wrath or better, when the dumbing down of the game was already in full bloom.
Big shock here. Somebody doesn't know what they are talking about. *Gasp*
The truth is only a very small % will down the raid easily. In fact, most of the player base never will.
I'm an ex member of Vis Maior from Bonechewer, I probably know more about this game than you or anyone you associate with ever will.
There was a very clear reason why we called it quits to raiding in this game, and it wasn't because it was too hard. Do a google and see what we accomplished during our time in WoW, we were responsible for numerous world firsts and noteworthy accomplishments, all back when they actually meant something.
as long as the dungeon is still open by the time I get there in about three months time.
You make a blanket statement about me "not knowing what I am talking about".
I refute your statement by explaining some background on myself and things I was part of when I played, lending credibility to myself as an experienced raider who was very involved in the competitive vanilla raiding scene.
And you respond with a bitter, spite laced retort that basically calls me a "no lifer".
Thanks for proving my point completely...
You pretty muched confirmed my point with your sarcasm....there was only 1 mode in vanilla, which was =/- Heroic mode today. Wow introduced "heroic modes" in Wotlk, and believe me, normal modes were being cleared by top guilds in the world immeditly....that doesnt mean "content was dumbed down", it means there was a new, easier verion of the content, made for more casual players, that dropped crapier loot etc. It still took most, even world first guilds, months to progress though heroic modes (again, which is the targeted raiding for Raiders).
Just because Blizzard added an easier version of each raid, doesnt mean there is no challenge.....you are basically saying any game ever released is too easy, because you chose "easy" from the menu, instead of Hard.
Thats why Blizz managed to stay 9+ million strong almost a decade after release, there is conent for everybody, those who want easy quick fun (LFR/Normal), and those that want hardcore beat your head on your keyboard raiding (Heroic).
You really cannot argue with that lol
Raid was open for months in beta, to some guilds this is not new they knew all the encounters. End off.
I disagree entirely, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
No. the truth is, you know nothing about my own history with WoW. And your comments are very funny because of that.
Kael'thas Sunstrider was beaten on May 25th 2007 (the eye, a raid that shipped WITH TBC, which came out on 16 January 2007.)
Just food for thought on why people are slightly annoyed that this was cleared on the first day.
I dont play WOW anymore, but all I gotta say is wtf??? the expansion didnt even have a raid launch with it?
No, because they have to artificially stagger raid content because it's too easy and if they didn't, people would finish this games content in a month or two (though we both know even less for some).
They also know it's going to be ages until the next expansion. There's something inherently wrong with their designs when they have to resort to this.
Man, you can't just disagree with facts.

Which is why they jumped into the raid immediately, right? Because they're so sick of it :P.
I fail to understand what there is to disagree with in his post. Everything he stated is true???????????
You seriously read that and don't find an inherent contradiction from the phrase in red?
Haha don't waste your breat- I mean keystrokes buddy. If I've learned anything on these forums, is that people will attack you like a pack of wolves even if your criticism is valid and constructive. Heck you might even get reported for trolling. But I hear you. Raid finder while fun, was pretty damn sad to see what raids have been reduced to. I'd still love to try pandaria though. For even a fraction of that feeling I got when I first played WoW.

More like first couple days tops.
Its a shame a company has to throttle content like this because they cant produce enough. Not only do you have to put up with gear threadmills now they implement content throttling? WTF!
