I didn't read anything from the staff about ToT HC, as you know they planned to release SoO with loot, and that would be the case if the community didn't react and said that it's too early for the loot. And I remember one sentence that Yami wrote, we will disable loot for a couple of months, but not too long, we should wait for guilds to progress and then release it, and if Im not mistaken, he mentioned September. Mybe after release of Lorderon? Waiting for next devlog...
