My guild is not earth shattering strong (f2p and up to 10k mix) but we tried heroic anyways. Didn't work out too well. We are ok with that.... kind of.....

My issue now is this: I and most others as well, don't have the time to grind on "normal" mode 7 days a week. The raid is crazy slow, the attacks have to be as good as possible because your guild needs all it can get. Spending an hour each evening on the normal mode just isn't going to work.

I'll hang it up and consider my 5k in the game a lesson learned. Can't put good money on bad money and expect things to get better.

What a terrible excuse for an advancement in the game.

Having waited months for this raid to come out my expectations were higher than this. It seems the lack of content has been bandaided by a monumental feat that will take the next 6 months to really master. Thus CG doesn't need to work on any other major advances in content? That's the only thing I can come up with. Just give them an elephant to eat, with only a spork to do it with.

If it wasn't for the friends in the guild I would have deleted it months ago. Hung on this long for the new raid..... just to find out it's a waste of time.

I'm in the same boat, I was delusional to think my guild (who can beat T7 Pit raid in 2 hours) would be able to slow grind this raid. I was hoping that after 3 days we'd be 1/2 way thru, not still in P1 with participation dropping.

I'm in @Waterdog01 and @JJBagger guild. We understand exactly where you're coming from. We can zerg a Heroic Rancor raid in 20ish minutes with about half the guild participating. Being caught off guard by the insanity of the new tank raid is an understatement.

The fact that EA may lose big money spenders like us should give them major cause for concern. How on earth did they believe they would increase their revenues solidly with this new disaster of a raid when they can't even fix simple game mechanics first?
