It’s even worse than that. WSOE in vegas. Method and it’s corporate cronies are literally hiring temp people as a job to level characters to fill out their raid team.

It’s organization with millions of dollars versus Blizzard entertainment and their millions of dollars. THE TRUE E-SPORT RACE !

Rags new meta is 25 frost mages.

All those positions must have filled up in the 8 minutes since you posted about it? There’s literally nothing listed on there about hiring temps to level characters… which btw, would be a breach of blizz’s ToS if those people weren’t playing their own accounts.

Na Rogues. Energy regen > mana.

If people want to go for it great. They can have their glory. Has no impact on me.

Everyone wants to zip to endgame in the snap of a finger, and before blizzard has a chance to count sub numbers, they are all demanding more content! :o2:

I vote we completely disregard Method’s kills in any world first race.

When you are playing a retro game that was already out there really is no “world first” because that happened 15 years ago by a guild that had no clue or knowledge of what they faced.

It’s more like “first to down Rag” for me.

Even hardcore raiders can end up tourists.

And more than likely they will be the second group to leave after the first that leave before they are level 20.

Cause once you “win the game” in classic it really is over.

Not if the target is dead before the mana is dry

I’d like to see high-end guilds not use any add-ons in raids. Until then, I won’t be impressed.

I feel sorry for them. Classic can be here for the long haul. They are blasting though it for 1 goal - First.

Classic First alt clear won’t have the same motivation

They’re playing a different game than you are. Thankfully Classic supports multiple game styles.

I don’t think Method cares; they are playing a very different game with very different goals compared to most players.

They will be. You cannot claim a WF kill for something already accomplished 15 years ago.

Im pretty sure they will spin it though… “It’s Reboot WF!” Or something like that

What I’m more curious about is whether they’ll stick around to try to claim “world first” in each phase in which raids are released (ZG, AQ, Naxx). If not, they’re even less relevant in WOW Classic. If so, that “forces” them to spend more time promoting each new tier, as it were.
