Finally a nice change for Altaddicted players like me. With 5 Level 70 Characters all the Attunements to Raidiinstances are a pain in the neck. Reputation, Heroics and all other crap made it really annyoing to attune all chars to Raid Instances.
I absolutely like to tank, but I hate Heroic instances, since there is not much difference to normal instances. It is maybe a bit more challenging, but its not more fun – if at all more annyoing.
Which means I welcome the changes Tigole just published in the World of Warcraft Forums:
"After a lot of thought and deliberation, we’ve decided to remove the attunement requirements to enter Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep: The Eye. While many of our attunements in the Burning Crusade have been good progression checks, a few of the attunements have turned out to cause unnecessary stress on guilds either doing the content or attempting to do the content. With Black Temple and Battle for Mount Hyjal thriving, we want to encourage (rather than prevent) new guilds and raid groups to attempt Serpentshrine and TK. We are going to leave the current attunement quests in the game so that players can still engage in the challenge and the lore of those quests should they choose to. At a later point, we are considering adding a final reward step to those quests as well (that way those who have already completed them would not miss out on a *new* reward).
We’re listening to feedback from you guys constantly and your opinions are important to us. We want this game to be the best possible MMO experience for our players.
Enjoy Serpentshrine and Tempest Keep =)
