Quote:I guess that the main issue here is WHO you are running with. My mates and I jumped right into Heroics when we were able, but we're all on the "pretty good" side of the skill scale (if I may say so myself). But...I've done some PUG's, and it's not pretty, not at all. Sure, with my friends/guildies, the runs can be a joke. But with 2-4 other random folks? I begin to see why they call this "heroic". Therein lies the problem, as I see it. We are looking at the non attunement issue through the rose colored glasses of having the backing of a very good guild(s). Try doing some pug's, and I wonder if folks thoughts on the difficulty and lack of attunements would change.I think you're both right. Heroics are easy. Pugs are dumb. I think Blizzard did a reasonable job with attunements in the original release, maybe some were a tad LONG, but they were all more or less pugable. It was a way to show you cared about your character enough to move up in your level of gaming. They screwed it up in BC big time, requiring the hardest fights in the game to get the attunement to move on to the next step raid wise. This also forced many guilds to frequently backslide to do these fights to keep people attuned so they could raid. This rightfully so brought an outcry from the community and in typical Blizzard fashion they overcompensated.
