Quote:Well, I think we're using obsolete in different contexts. For example, pre-TBC, BWL loot never became obsolete. Sure, T3 was better piece-for-piece, but it wasn't obsolete because for the appropriate level of progression, BWL loot was the best available to boost you to the next level. Gear isn't automatically obsolete just because something better exists.That's not what I'm saying.
It's going to become obsolete because WotLK is on the horizon.
If people were to start running SSC/TK when 2.4 hits, they might get to mid-Hyjal/BT before WotLK. By skipping SSC/TK in progression, you're giving the "new" raiders the opportunity to experience the end-game content (Archimonde, Illidan and Kil'jaeden, mainly) before WotLK hits.
