I'm new in this server and i was wondering what will be the future of this realm after reaching "Fall of the Lich King" patch. I mean, i have nothing against that patch but it broke progression through raids (talking about the catch up mechanincs with vendors but mostly dung that drop ToC gear and so making naxx and ulduar and part of ToC useless except for achi purposes) and i think many players did not liked that.
I Would like to know if there are any kind of plans towards this topic, like make so that people cannot progress through content if they had not done the previous patch (for example: you cannot do ulduar until you cleared naxx, also you cannot do patch 3.2 and 3.3 dung until you cleared naxx and ulduar, otherwise you could just do 1 naxx and spam dung which i don't think solve the problem at all) or any type of features that counter the catch up system.
I really really don't want to make the server a fun realm or "not blizzlike" but from what i've heard (and experienced) the progression is a strong point in making a mmorpg good and 3.3 kind of broke that. And i know the server is still young and did not realesed even ToC yet but i would like to make this server my home for the longest possible time and this catch up mechaning kind of keeps me thinking twice about that especially because i am not a hardcore player and will not compete in ulduar/ToC raids ( when will be released) anytime soon.
As my last point i want to adress to all people that will say "if you're not an hardcore raider why do you even care making the server a long progression one" and to them i say that it's not important to me ( and many other players i think) doing ICC, but it's really important passing from one raid to the other one even if i wont reach icc, having always something to strive for. Wotlk it's really my fav xpac but 3.3 ruined it for me, making so that you do dung and in a month( or less) you are in icc 10 and you don't even care to progress that much because is the same raid in 4 difficulties.
I'm really sorry for the rambling, and i don't want to offend anyone if this kind of server is what they want ( especiallt the GM since the decision is theirs) but i just would like to know if these "changes" are a possibility or it would never be implemented something like that.
Thank you for reading, sorry for the bad english and have a good day!!
