Super-guild has already cleared Naxx

[Sword_of_Doom]

I kind of like the idea of a hard push on a user adjustable difficulty knob.

Ye old timed Strat run was a great deal of fun. I did it a bunch of times when I didn't have anything to gain from it. I look forward to the challenges like 9-man 10-mans and such.

Most great games have some level of handicaps to make them difficult. Look at the number of Lurker Lounge people who had to make arbitrary limitations in order to make Diablo or DiabloII difficult.

I wish they had kept Naxx10 easy like it is and made Naxx25 Black Temple difficult. If you look at the Wowjutsu stats most guilds were in SSC/TK so to me a Black Temple difficulty raid zone to start wouldn't be a insurmountable object to the target market of Blizz. On my server 40'ish of the 200 raid guilds tracked were in Black Temple and only 14 had Sunwell kills.

I am somewhat dismayed that 3 weeks into the xpac my guild has killed all T7 content. Yesterday we did a poll and asked how many in our guild had done Naxx40 before. Only 4 of us had. So a very inexperienced Naxx group can roll through it in 2 nights. Is that good for the raid game? It was embarassingly easy. A lot of one shots with some wipes on Patchwerk, Sapphiron and Kel'thuzzad.

The next patch better be great because i think Blizzard may have shot themselves in the foot on this one. People want challenge and there is none to be found. Of course people are going to bring up achievements but that is cheap tactic by Blizz to recycle and make content interesting. How fun is it to farm a zone for 3 to 6 months? I guess we will get the answer with the shape of the game in the next patch.
