Up to 30% buff to health, healing done and damage done? If that ever goes live, it's going to be retarded.

Shortening the fight also increases overall DPS, meaning you will see some people pumping out around 15k.

Making the entire game pug-able is not really a step in the right direction.

It is for the franchise. Why would a person keep playing if they are stuck not being able to raid? It's alot of work for some to get into guilds and attend raids blah blah...

Think about Halo 3 on Xbox live, all you need is the game and description and you can play whenever you want - hard battles and such - just log in and BAM!

To appeal to the world is blizzards focus - appealing = great revenue.

but i do agree - this will make it somewhat ez mode.

I'd suspect this buff is the same type of change they made just before WoTLK was released, so more people can see ICC.

Now if you really want to talk about what could make this game a train wreck, look at their post about making raids available via the random queue system.

Exactley, and Lortan of all people will agree this game has continually been changing its focus to be "Monopoly" instead of what most of us would want.

We'll still wipe. A lot.
