What is the point now?
Sorry if I'm missing something here, but with the 3.2 patch what is the point in running Naxx 10 (or even 25), VOA, or OS anymore? With the great loot drops in TOC (H) and being able to buy most pieces with emblems of conquest by running heroic dungeons, why would anyone step inside these instances anymore? Not QQing just trying to figure out if I'm missing something here. tks |

Re: What is the point now?
a big sigh closer because you are absolutely right. our guild leader mentioned that same thing on day 1 of the patch. its quite sad really naxx is a great raid. but your right who will go there now. there is no point. you can get 2 7.5 tier pieces and 2 8.5 tier pieces just by doing heroics. so yes naxx is pretty much obsolete:( naxx was even taken off our raid schedule last night. we are only running ulduar for now till we get more people geared and ready for the new raid. its too bad blizz didnt think of thise before the patch. but then i guess in a few more patches ulduar will be obsolete. myself i dont need any gear from naxx but have ran it with the guild cause it is fun. but thats about it fun, if you want gear i dont think theres any point to going to naxx either :( ill miss that spider wing too, man those spiders hated me with my seed of corruption

Re: What is the point now?
Our guild's just using it to grind easy badges for our new 80s. It certainly makes it easier to get guildies geared for Ulduar, but aside from that, Blizz effectively killed it. |

Badges! 3 Hour Naxx run is a TON of badges! More than 3 hours of Heroics! |

No way! 3 hrs of Naxx is what 12-16 bosses; that's 3-4 Heroic dungeons. It shouldn't take a Naxx geared Lock more than what 30 minutes to run a H with a similarly geared group. |

Re: What is the point now?
VoA is still a good place to go for badges and pvp gear and even tier 8 and 8.5 gear if you are lucky. With the new boss coming with the new arena season you will get that seasons top gear as well as T9s.. what level of T9 I don't know though. I think it would be awesome if the bosses dropped one of those T9.5 tokens so you could trade it for wanted and so everyone had a shot at gear. I hate going in and seeing say Mage gear drop although we have no mages. What a waste. |

Re: What is the point now?
Naxx was out for 5 or 6 months before Ulduar... Plus it existed in Vanilla WoW. Be Glad you never have to go there again, I know many good raiders that quit the game because of having to wait so long for Ulduar.... I mean I guess if you are new you'd want to experience it, but after having Naxx on farm after the first few weeks because we've all played it before in Vanilla, and then having to wait 5 months to get something new, then maybe this badge system is good for something. Beyond that: OS 3 Drakes = Free Mount on farm.... plus the pennant cloak and the trinket are still Top Items. VoA = Furius Gear Naxx = loads of badges in 2 hours. |

Re: What is the point now?
I don't mind doing Naxx at all. We burn thorough it and everyone gets a ton of badges. OS same thing. A few minutes and everyone has a handful of badges and one lucky fella gets an extra five. Heroics are fine as well but we can get more people badges in the raid zones. If we stuck with heroics there would be several who wouldn't get in as easy due to uneven group role make up. There wouldn't be enough tanks, healers, or whatever for everyone. Given a choice, I'm not going to leave my guildmates to a PuG. |
