just as the title says changing the TOTC lockouts cause blizz thinks that people stopped running ulduar “prematurely” is just asinine, any guild that is serious about raiding and pushing content kept running ulduar solely so their healers could get val’anyr. Changing the lockouts will only screw over the players and character power. This is just them catering to the casual crowd just like how they changed drums in tbc. If you dont want to run something you simply dont run it. I want to run totc 4 times a week cause i have the time to be able to dedicate towards it.

Yeah, especially since I heard that TotC doesn’t even take that much time to complete. I was told that doing TotC 4 times wouldn’t even take 2 hours which is most raid times.
who cares, its just a video game? why do you give a shtso muc
Discussion about a video game on a forum dedicated to that video game? This is pure insanity.
Someone should really do something about people having an interest in something they find interesting.

Four times a week? are you in some casual guild?
Serious guilds be running it 8-12 times a week. Should blizzard do something about that? Yeah, probably. It’s not good game design.
Lock outs are necessary.
i meant per toon yeah ill probably end up running it 8 times in a week and i want that, it’s not bad game design the raid itself if you’re not a total shiitter it shouldn’t take more than 45m to an hour to finish one run and most serious raiding guilds are already raiding for 4 hours a raid night. If you wanna just be a casual then be one and don’t run it multiple times but don’t screw over everyone else that actually wants to push content and enjoys raiding with friends
It doesn’t take long but it’s f’ing boring and you’re not doing it 4 times a week - it’s 8-12. Wotlk is an alt expansion - trust me you’ll be doing raids multiple times.
I’m fine with that, I think it’d only be boring if your guild/raid group is only there for the loot and nothing else but if you have a guild that meshes well and has a fun time then spamming TotC will fly by.
YOU might be fine with that but that doesn’t mean your other guildmates will think the same way. There WILL be attrition and you WILL be affected by it, albeit indirectly. A lot of people check out for ToC pretty early, it’s a crappy patch due to how mind-numbing it is. This is why you shouldn’t be designing raids to be invalidated when the next tier comes out.
