Quote:The reason I'm sure is that Blizzard QA simply don't have 25 people as good at playing WoW as these guilds so even with a free selection of gear and consumables they can't test bleeding edge adequatelyApparently, Blizzard does have a dedicated raid test team; which does have the added benefits of unlimited access to consumables and near-0 lag. Apparently, by the time any dedicated raiding guild has trounced an area, they've already done it several times.
This, I gather, is Nihilum's point: Blizzard claims that they have a raid test group, but if they did then they really should have picked up on the problems with the encounter. The raid boss respawning near-instantly isn't a little hiccup in the encounter that needs some tuning. That sort of thing should have been hammered out before any live player got there, unless you really want to believe that Blizzard's raid team was lucky enough not to encounter this sort of thing in all the time they've allegedely been "testing" Lady Vashj.
When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.
