I remember at 20 I was running stockades and didn't even have a mount and had to wait till level 40 for one... oh all that time wasted walking and running ![]() Raiding is a joke now too. Like i havent found anything comparable to the old raids much less AQ40 or Naxx 40. I love how noobs were spouting out at first "omg Ulduar is hard like Naxx 40". i face palmed so much during those days. ![]() | ||

Hard modes are legitimately hard, Ulduar hard modes were "hard", many of the top guilds struggled with Yogg-25 Hard Modes with many claiming the hardest wasn't possible (sounds like AQ40 C'thun huh?). The majority of the whiners were people who were 6/9 BT before 3.0 and got spoiled by the 3.0 patch. Before oldies bring up the "world firsts took so much longer than nowadays" argument, yeah, because 90% of the bosses you faced you couldn't do without Resistance gear; it's like the hard mode bosses are any less technical than in vanilla or required looser execution. Farming gear didn't take skill. Ask any guild that did Yogg25-0 during that patch, that shit wasn't a cakewalk or remotely easy. If you're breezing through normal mode, go do hard modes, they're pretty solid encounters if you're looking for a good challenge. Normal modes will always be easier than anything that vanilla or BC had at its lowest levels. That being said, I do think that nothing will beat the 4H encounter in Naxx40. | ||

All my gold -and I have a decent amount - boa items, badges and all the items I have farmed. Plus I wont be able to buy fly mount (and tome for northrend). That's what's holding me back. Mostly that with no money for epic mounts and boa tome ^^ Does RAF work all the way up to lvl 80? Even with all the downsides I think I will start a char :D I don't know where CET is measured from, but I'm +1 GMT. And I have the option of being online from 1700-2200 (5pm-10pm) (+1 GMT) during normal weekdays and ofcourse a lot more in weekends ![]() Let me know if that is cool with you ^^ Edit: RAF is forbidden in Denmark (serious). Lets see if we can find a way to work around it when I make an account. I have no clue how RAF works. I guess I need to make an account first, right? You'll have to get a US account anyways - and it wouldn't be forbidden in Denmark ... if it's US, right? Not EU server? Hmm... | ||

Im still playing and i still fail to see your point. C'thun HAD to get nerfed to be killable. Your resistance arguement is also BS specially considering AQ40 and Naxx (besides Saph). Huhuran you only need like 150 NR and that was buffed if i remember right. 4 Horsemen was the encounter that took the longest for any guild to kill since their first encounter, which was 6 days (unless im misinformed). You didnt even need resistance for it. I doubt the top guild took 6 dedicated raid nights or more to kill yogg 25 only. | ||

I realise I need an account, but I'm a little confused as to which account. If I read it correctly on their faq I need a trial account, which will be recruited, and then I upgrade the trial account to a real account. Or can I go ahead and make a real account from the start? about the RAF. It's forbidden by Danish law, which is why Blizzard doesn't offer it to any accounts residing in Denmark (doesn't matter if I use EU or US server). I guess I can say I have moved country when I make the new account^^ That's what I'm planning on doing at least ![]() Edit: It's forbidden by the Danish government because they think it resembles a pyrami scheme... | ||

There were many fewer man guilds pushing content at 60 than there were at 70 and now 80. Content isn't easier, but RAIDING is. Wipe recovery, class balancing, consumables, instance design, etc have all improved drastically. Also, one of the biggest factors is how much better players are now. Not so much skill, but the wealth of knowledge and math behind all of them game is so well known that players are just better now because of it. People in raiding guilds in vanilla didn't know how to maximize their class like 90% of raiders do easily now. Hard mode encounters are just as hard and in many cases harder than many 60 raid bosses. Yogg+0 was extremely hard pre-nerf. From a mechanic and execution stand point it is more difficult than 4 Horseman in my opinion. 4 Horseman simply required the right raid composition and gear. Hope your guild has 8 prot warriors w/ t3, because if you don't then you're not going to down it. That's not difficult, that just means it's stupid. | ||

Giving both shamans and paladins to both factions was retarded and made things easier while taking out an uniqueness from each faction while raiding and pvping (well pvp is not the point). I agree that wipe recovery is much faster but also you dont take into account the things blizz to make the game easier. Yes more players are well informed on how to maximize their class but things like changing shield block from a 6 sec CD to a 40 sec CD basically just removed something from warriors that made them EASIER to play. Id bring in dual spec into this but it IS a nice thing, which makes raiding easier, i personally wouldve restricted the other spec for PvP only since that was supposedly one of the big reasons it was implemented. As for the 4 horsemen thing, then why do people say, "omg that fight is such a hard gear check" and now you come out that the fight was retarded. | ||

Apparently I can't use the online upgrade version because I'm not living in the states. It refuses to accept my creditcard with error 202 (wrong zip code - I don't live in the us). That means I have to get a physical copy of the game from an us retailer. But there will still be a problem, when I need to pay my subscription, because I still don't live in the states. Is there a way to work around this problem? | ||
