I think the times would be more approachable if they were 2 minutes faster than the current platinum times but nope! the devs decided to cater to the 0,00001% Good job

Iâll just buy it in the shop when MOP ends and we get a character boost on retail for our efforts. EZ when you got a job.. super EZ.. Blizz.. listen up.. 25 a pop.. 100 dollar bundle.. huge win!
Iâm all for exclusive rewards, I believe people should have something to work towards and to truly aim for in order to grow as players and to bring them together with people that share that same goal.
The inclusion of platinum times is good, and giving people something to aim for over the gold times that werenât overly difficult to begin with is a good thing. However, the way this is being implemented is a slap in the face to anyone that has anyone that isnât keeping up with the news. Weâre now given two weeks to accomplish something that effectively none of the community as a whole outside of <10 people have done, and the times these are currently set at are practically impossible for a large percentage of classes and specs in the challenge mode meta. If youâre a tank that isnât a Brewmaster Monk, a healer that isnât a Disc priest, or a large percentage of the DPS specs, youâre extremely unlikely to be able to make the current times at their current placement. There shouldnât be achievements for exclusively rewards that you arenât able to earn if you arenât a certain class, and this is especially true when we are only given 2 weeks of notice before the rewards are taken away.
I sincerely hope the that the rewards donât come out with these current times set. Creating exceptionally rare rewards with such little notice is asking for community outrage.

doesnât seem to be accurate, just looking at scholo, the wr as far as i can see for scholo is 5:18 while the timer is 7:15, that means you can be 28% slower and still get the title, i wouldnât count a 2 minute timer head start in a 7 minute race to be nearing WR time, the times are very tough especially in the time frame but they seemingly arenât close to WR times
Exploit early exploit often wins again here too remember. Highly rewarded for using bugs.. lol..
Remember when using a bomb on LK would get you a ban.. well in 2025 it gets you a mount and title.. lol..

Videos for which CM dungeon do they go under the map in specific? Legitimately asking.

every moment reading about this it gets worse - which is funny because I was excited when I saw the headline
I canât dissect this better than others already have, but I echo that the timeliness as well as rugpull/reqs are just awful and biased
have fun I guess

Please change the requirements to maybe 1 dungeon for the title and mount. This is extreme for such a last minute notice to need every single dungeon. These times are not possible outside literally a handful of groups in the world and only possible for a handful of classes. Whose feedback decided that we should need all of them instead of one anyways? The few people in the world who already have all of them? The original title only required ONE server first title at the end.

The Xuen mount is arguably the one people want the most, and your only giving us a couple weeks of heads up (also during a holiday week in the US where lots of folks are traveling). This seems pretty last minute. Maybe move Xuen to end of Season 2 and only give the title for season 1, or extend the deadline till January or something. It is a lot of dungeons with some very tricky times, I donât think people mind the challenge if there was reasonable time given after its been announced.

While I agree with your sentiment about the lack of notice, being flexible and rerolling into whatever class is necessary and best for the content has been a part of all speedrun content in WoW since the dawn of time. Itâs just how it is. If you are willing to do that then yes you deserve exclusive rewards, not a consolidation reward for playing an off-meta class.
Yes, I definitely agree that rerolling is a nature of speedrunning. It would be less of an issue if the times werenât at such an extreme to where you absolutely must be running the optimal classes to meet the times, and we had more notice to have those classes prepared for these times. You can achieve the platinum times on every class, but these times are too extreme with the limited time we have available left in the season for the notice. There are zero tanks aside from Brewmasters that have the current times 9/9. Asking people who have been playing the other tanks the whole expansion to get a Brewmaster ready in a two weeks notice, especially over the holidays, is way too short of a notice.
You can look at the MDI and see class imbalance for speed running dungeons, but even those have better balance most of the time than we do in MoP. I like having the challenges to push for, thatâs why I went for the Plat times and raid mythic in retail. I just wish we had more time to know this was coming.
