its a wonderful thing
Which makes the "Search" button that much more invaluable to those.
I agree with pretty much everything peregrine said on the page before this. Make it hard, make it challenging, but make it retail like. Keep the ICC buff, its there for a reason, if its as blizzlike as it should be it will be needed. You have to remember that people are going to be going into ICC with the lower tiered gear, there wont be people in "full donor" gear carrying anyone. People wont even have managed to get full gear from the previous tier if this time frame is anything to go by.
I would put gear / raid releases at 4-5 months per tier. With one or maybe two raids a week (10 and 25 man) people will take time to gear up. Especially if they aren't doing a full clear of naxx until maybe 5 weeks after naxx is released (despite what everyone says, naxx IS hard when you go and raid it with almost everyone in blue / green gear, i know, i was probably the first raid leader molten had when it first opened back in '09, and getting 25+ people to farm heroics and reputations prior to naxx was a massive challenge).
Frankly im hoping every single raid is as hard as ICC heroic when it comes out. because it should all scale with the gear you have
Yea, all addons for 3.3.5a works on the PTR, so they will do that on live as well...
The icc buff was only implemented as a nerf lol. IT IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE THERE WHEN IT RELEASES + naxx is easy with or without gear if they do not buff naxx guilds will clear it in the first 2-3 days and then afk until ulduar releases.
If they release the original wotlk-naxx it will be hard, if they release the 3.3.5a naxx it will be a walk in the park with greens xD
Yeah it was moderated prob because it was pointless and just drama i suppose. Also I hope Naxx will be harder due to the HP/DMG buff they consider :)
My point intends to address a more general context [member-member/staff-member]. I believe it would make the forum much more productive if we justify our statements as good/clear as possible. In the particular case you mention, I don't mind if staff wants to pull a leg now and then, we are all humans after all, and there are really no hard feelings kept by members who have lived/experienced this life long enough.
Regarding the disclosure restrains to provide explanations that you mention, I think saying it will be announced officially in the near future IMHO works much better than saying nothing at all; or similarly, it is an executive decision not open for debate at the moment in the case of explanations for axiomatic features. Of course, there could be members that would not understand the logical reasoning behind these type of explanations, complain about them and whatnot, but at the least there would be much less misunderstandings among the ones that are able to do it.
Cheers!

I think you are taking it too seriously.
green_dev was just having fun giving not-explicit statements.
If you just thought a little more about them, i bet you would be able to understand theyr meaning :D
But i know, the hype for this server is really high, and you want to be sure about any information you are getting.
Just dont make it too long mate :D I was having fun reading the questioning comments to his statement xD
Btw...people still asking for rdf/wipe... seriously...
Uhm. I heard a voice that from 6th Sept the realm would be opened for some betatester.
If this is true, and there are some who are reading this, can you tell us something we still don't know? Is it going all fine?
Dude, that event with green_dev you mention is just an example, perhaps not a very good one, and certainly it is not important in the bigger picture. I was trying to point out a common communication issue in the server's forum, from which most of us [member-member/staff-member] are responsible for (a.k.a. something in a bigger context). I thought I was clear with what I wrote. Maybe, I should just give up trying to bring the server's forum closer to reason. Anyway, enjoy the hype and I wish you all the best!
