They're making the Raid Finder at the Derp Difficulty, and you'll get tier pieces from it. Just lower ilvl, but if you're doing Derp Difficulty raids, do you really need the same gear?

What does the ilevel for gear even matter? If you're going to do Raid Finder dungeons, it's geared towards clearing it with Raid Finder drops. If they make the gear better, they'd have to make it harder. Oh wait, that's called Normals. Heroics are the same thing.

iLevel shouldn't matter, I thought people just wanted to clear the dungeons and get the loot? If you want to do the harder things, then find a better guild. I really don't see the problem. If you can't clear hard modes with your guild/friends, then your guild/friends suck, you should be happy they're adding in the new difficulty so you CAN complete the raids.

Raid finder with 25 PuG turds is a bad idea anyway, no matter the difficulty and gear level.
Why not 10 man?

It's sometimes already hard to deal with 4 others in 5 man dungeons when you're unlucky and land with a bunch of turds. I just can't imagine this working well with 24 others of the same kind.

Does this remind anyone of separate drinking fountains? You know, one for the Casuals (blacks) and one for the Elites (whites). The Casuals drinking fountain is just fine and puts out the same water, so please pay us 15 dollars per month to get treated like a second class player cause you don't have the lifestyle or take the game seriously enough to play hardcore.

How is it their fault you're bad at the game and can't clear normals? Heroics are for the hardcores, the normal modes are quite easy and have been since Cataclysm started.


I just don't understand what people are complaining about with the current raiding tier. Casuals can raid now, if you find a casual guild. You can clear Firelands in under 3 hours once you have it down, on normal modes.

While everyone is entitled to their opinion, the vast majority of people disagree with this.

Then you're in luck--

Normal difficulty

• Shannox, Beth’tilac, Rhyolith - health and damage reduced by 15%.
• Other bosses - health and damage reduced by 25%.
• All adds’ health and damage have been reduced in the same proportions as bosses.
• Hellhounds and Unstable Magma deal much less damage.
• Alysrazor’s Fiery Tornados move slower.
• The Wings of Flame buff duration on Alysrazor is now uniformly 30 seconds.
• Alysrazor drops 1 additional feather for 10-player mode and 2 additional feathers for 25-player mode in all cycles.
• Wrath of Ragnaros in Stage 1 now knocks targets up, but not back.
