Quote:The removal of attunements is a slightly different beast, and it seems like we've reached the point where guilds only halfway through SSC and TK are killing Rage Winterchill.The only people who liked attunements were those who got an epeen thrill from being in a zone that "nubs aren't allowed to go in to." They were silly from the start, and I think Blizzard has finally learned. We'll see in the expansion.
You handle attunements via hard boss encounters that prove whether or not your guild is ready. Like Razorgore in BWL, and now Kalecgos in Sunwell. Blizzard's mistake with Hyjal was that the early bosses were so much easier than Vashj and Kael'thas that they almost had to lock people out for a while to stop them from trying to run four raid instances in a single lock. But that's a whole separate issue regarding raid release schedules that's also been beaten to death on other boards like EJ.
Then again, the trash in Sunwell drops a number of best-in-slot items for different classes, along with epic gems and sunmotes, that's it worth farming by even ssc/tk guilds. So, I dunno what Blizzard's doing. :(
