Serpentshrine and Tempest Keep - Open

"After a lot of thought and deliberation, we’ve decided to remove the attunement requirements to enter Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep: The Eye. While many of our attunements in the Burning Crusade have been good progression checks, a few of the attunements have turned out to cause unnecessary stress on guilds either doing the content or attempting to do the content. With Black Temple and Battle for Mount Hyjal thriving, we want to encourage (rather than prevent) new guilds and raid groups to attempt Serpentshrine and TK. We are going to leave the current attunement quests in the game so that players can still engage in the challenge and the lore of those quests should they choose to. At a later point, we are considering adding a final reward step to those quests as well (that way those who have already completed them would not miss out on a *new* reward).

We’re listening to feedback from you guys constantly and your opinions are important to us. We want this game to be the best possible MMO experience for our players.

Enjoy Serpentshrine and Tempest Keep =)

Yay for grinding hrs of rep and shit... NOT!

I think this is shit for the people/guilds doing countless hrs of trials etc.

Lame imo.

Funny, guys like Furor gave Verant/SOE so much shit for the lame keying timesinks and grinding in EQ. Yet it apparently appears to be infiltrating WoW. Just goes to show you the more things change...

(Note I've never played WoW. Just have seen people complaining about timesinks. Maybe they don't even exist!)

The terms timesink and cockblock have been replaced by progression path.

You Sir nailed it. So I had to quote it.

PS: Furor designs quests... not creating raid content. Just fyi (or so Im told...)
