A Step Above The Rest

I was reading MMO-Champion earlier and decided to watch the Paragon World First 25H Ragnaros again. I wish I was 5% if the quality of player that comprises that guild. Their precision in the execution of mechanics and the calm they maintain with the immense pressure placed upon them really shows what is expected to be a top tier raider. I watched in amazement at the difficulty of that encounter, it's no wonder it took them 500+ wipes to down that bastard. Not that they'll ever read this, but, massive grats guys, you've earned it. Your raiding is honestly a work of art in my eyes and you have put in so much work and dedication to this game.

In other news, I also read some older blue posts regarding the return of Valor Points to Tier 11 raids. As someone who is now a member of the casual player base, I must say that I don't like not being able to pug Firelands content (Trash doesn't count, sorry). I realize that raiding guilds and hardcore raiding guilds want to each have their own defined place, but I rather liked being able to at least squeeze out the first few bosses back in ICC. I don't want to be able to pug the entirety of the content, I would just like to not feel like i'm a whole patch behind the curve. In addition, the pugs that do happen for the previous tier have such ridiculous ridiculous requirements placed upon their groups, that you pretty much had to do it before they nerfed it for the casuals anyway. I was running that shit with a 352 when I got into Exilèd anyway, Why do I need a 360 and have the achieve to do it now? It defeats the purpose of making it doable by a larger group of people, especially considering the loot in these raids is max 359.

After my last post I went and played some Team Fortress 2 (Seeing a pattern here, might have to mix it up a bit in the future), I decided that I wanted a new gun for my soldier, and initially worked towards the Liberty Launcher, however upon meeting the requirements to create it, I had a second thought and went with the Cow Mangler 5000. At first I didn't particularly care for the new gun, and thought i'd regret crafting it, however after learning some of it's nifty little tricks, I can honestly say I rather enjoy this new addition to my arsenal. If only doing ZA/ZG was as fun as getting "geared" in Team Fortress 2.

I'm done for the day, have a good one.
