Imagine you’re a returning player from P1 and you want to get back into raiding with your guild during P3. Wait just a second there, before you can start raiding with your guild you need to do a large chunk of the SSC map and half of the TK bosses (and this is IF you have everything ready to go for one fell swoop). The problem is a large majority of guilds are not going to be and do not want to be forced to do that content anymore just to attune a returning player. Many guilds while progressing T6 will straight up not have the time to go back into those previous instances to get new players into their team. This is going to force a new player to decide between pugging T5 with meh gear that may not even get them in, or quitting again entirely.
It’s fair to say Blizzard quickly realized how detrimental attunements were that required a completion of the previous raid tier. That’s why TBC was the only time they ever existed and why attunements completely disappeared the next xpac. It’s also likely why they already released skips to KT and Vashj this early in the game.
Instead of going 80% there, just go all the way there. Remove the attunement requirement entirely a week or two after P3 launches or just take out the SSC/TK raid requirements from the attunement process for T6. Heck even give players who got attuned before you remove it a nice little “Champion of the Ashtongue” title or whatever. But leaving this as-is for a long period of time may be more detrimental to player retention than even P2 was if guilds aren’t able to replace their players that leave.
You can skip directly to the end bosses to complete your attune. Also with how ezy T5 is now, a returning player, Or even a fresh 70 could easily pug T5 content and get their attune.
You need to get to Karathress for BT attune, it is absolutely an issue. Guilds aren’t going to be clearing that content (and they shouldn’t have to). Also don’t know about your server but mine only has 2-3 SSC/TK pugs a week, and they don’t really let in randoms. If you don’t see this an issue you clearly aren’t paying attention to the game around you.
Again also A’lar, not as huge a deal as she’s somewhat on the way to KT but it is like you have no idea what you’re talking about when you say it’s 3 bosses. MOST guilds in the game aren’t going to be doing this content and the shouldn’t have to. If you’ve spent any time with a new player to this game you’d know that they need some handholding, this is a massive barrier to entry for them.
I feel like you don’t really understand the community dynamics of this game. Maybe some pugs on your server do but on mine they usually require logs or in a GDKP a gold flash. Unless it’s a Gruul/Mag pug.
These doom and gloom posts are really getting ridiculous tbh. People are pugging SSC/TK right now and will continue to do so after T6 releases. Getting your Hyjal attune done is a bigger hurdle than killing Fathomlord and Alar.
Dude all you need is like 1 or 2 clears of a raid. If you aren’t ready to do 1 run of each instance from the previous tier, then you aren’t ready to progress BT/Hyjal with a guild lol. The attunements for this are easy af
you are 1oo percent wrong. tons of guilds will still be running t5. tons of pugs will. people still need gear and want their Tier sets. Hell man people are still running KAra.Gruul?mag. your so off the mark i really feel like you dont play this game anymore. not to mention GDKP’s still running it. its nerfed easy to clear content. you have a direct path to the bosses you need now. Like for real do you play? Not to mention all the people who have 2+ alts that are gearing alts so tons fo alt runs like come on man grow up or troll harder cause this post is irrelevent
