Seems pretty sudden to me...It'll certainly make recruiting a bit easier for those of us not getting TK scrolls yet though.

World of Casualcraft.

Why? Its not like these attunements were hard or anything.

So is this a positive or negative reaction?

Fixed that for you.

link in case you're doubting this

Next up: pages of posts complaining Hydross "is too hard".

Who saw this coming? Im kinda suprised by this move and now miffed that i went through all of that for nothing now

I wonder what's going to happen to the epic FR ring that's only available by killing Magtheridon for the end of the TK line.

Wow, that's pretty awesome!

What's not awesome are the first salvo of replies from the More Hardcore Than Thou crowd. Thanks for this.

I vote anyone who completed them pre 2.1 nerf get special in game titles.

I guess they're doing away with scrolls completely then too? A guildmate suggested they unattune someone so they are forced to do the questline haha.

Wow, such a simple change, but a tremendous help to guilds trying to get through those instances. I can't tell you how new recruits we've had to run through all the heroics to get keyed to TK. At first we had to get most recruits through their SSC attunements as well, but most people seem to have gotten that done by now.

Oh yes, my Shadowpriest and Rogue will be grabbing up all kinds of goodies.

I guess that it won't speed up anyone's progression by a noticable amount, since you're probably not going to kill Hydross if you can't kill Gruul (although you might be able to get Void Reaver down before you beat Magtheridon . . . ). Doesn't change anything for very high-end guilds; we have more scrolls than we know what to do with. I suppose the only real consequence of this change is removing some tedium for those who haven't seen SSC/TK yet. Removing tedium is always a good thing. Kudos to the devs for a good change, albeit a completely unexpected one.

I have mixed feelings. I'm a bit bitter that I had to go through all that crap to get attuned but on the other hand, having more people available for TK (in our guild's case) is definitely a boon.

And lol @ the "reward for finishing the Trials". It'll probably be some crap blue we'll vendor for 9g.

I don't consider it entirely negative, however I think the fact that thousands of people have had to do it just to have it removed later on is kind of ridiculous.

But then again when does Blizzard not severely reduce the difficulty/time of anything in this game?

I'm not pleased.

For reference, I'm in a guild that's struggling against Gruul. The last thing I want is my guildmates to want to charge into SSC so we can rocked there too.

I think they may have needed to do something to make it easier to attune alts and parts of the guild. And a real multi-boss 25 man raid instance in the tier 4 content would have been nice.

But it seems to me there were barriers of entry for a reason. Now the reason hasn't changed but the barriers have beem removed. Doesn't this seem like letting the toddlers out of the kiddie pool and letting them jump into the deep end before they've learned to swim?

I hope this is a joke, first pvp casuals get gear they dont deserve, and now the "heroics are hard" folk gets free acces?

Edit: In response to Navaash, #9.

Now if only I could figure out a use for a fire resist ring.

Kind of sudden considering they just made Kael and Vashj drop attunment scrolls. Not sure if it was needed either.

I liked the idea that you had to work hard to get enough people attuned to be able to enter and complete the zone, as a reward you'd be able to attune your new recruits right away.

In addition SSC and TK general chat will become filled with 13x more spam from excited newbs.

I think blizzard is following that tried but true strategy of theirs to nerf things as guilds go further along. This does follow that timeline pretty closely.

Doesn't bother me in the least, although I think Magtheridon still could have been tied to TK attunement in some way. Overall it makes it easier for more casual guilds to get into SSC/TK and that can only be a good thing.
