I go back and forth on this. On the one hand, I really like the work of said “attunements” (because I enjoy Questing and “attunements” is just another form of “Questing”, to me), at the same time, depending on what the “attunement” is for is pretty ridiculous. For example, the Onyxia Attunement. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done that attunement, multiple times. My problem with that “attunement” is…it’s for one boss, ONE!
I get it, the Lore is fantastic but from a progression standpoint, that’s a lot of work for just one boss. When, I feel like that would be a great Raid for PuGs (still is, but it’s heavily dependent on players doing the “attunement”, in the first place). I feel like that “attunement” (Ony) should’ve awarded a title or something. The one “attunement” I’m OK with (for Classic, anyway) is the MC one. That’s embarrassingly easy. If you can’t be bothered to pick up a log, inside a dungeon, you shouldn’t be allowed in the MC Raid, in the first place (IMO, ofc).
That’s my stance on “attunements”.
Now, what I (also) didn’t mind was PG (Proving Grounds). This way it forced you to prove yourself, ALL by yourself. With Attunements, it allowed for outside help. With PG it was completely solo. That’s me, though
