In the past they always released content early and because of that people lost interest due to bosses being bugged or too strong or something like that. I honestly miss the old ZA = SWP item system, it made things more balanced for non donors even if it was repetitive and boring. Better than no PvE at all. :-(
Yea, it did balance things out alot. What i was thinking is that we can have some items drop in ZA, and a few others in SSC or Gruul's Lair or something like that.. Not making it just repetitive. That way there are some variety in Raiding. Or you can make that you HAVE to have t6 to raid those instances or something :) just to keep the tier 6 alive and not letting people jump straight from t5 - SWP

i posted a suggestion that we made some daily quest that offered badges for completing a random 5 man instance(changes every week) or something...and swapped the quest to be things like BT (OR EVEN SCARLET MONASTERY :D) on busy weekends like March break and christmas.

...the idea of it was to get players to progressively learn various instances, building the PVE foundation.

I was wanting to do like daily heroics like that; however, the real question was: are the instances even working fully? That's what stopped me.

Making ZA drop SWP loot was a pain in the fucking ass. Never again.

It made things a bit fairer for people without S4 though. The constant spam was a pain in the ass.

Heroic SM would be a lot of fun imo. Would add a bit of variety into a potential Heroic Rotation.

Maybe they can atleast up the difficulty or something to get the SWP items. Make it SSC or something to get SWP! that might be a good idea :) Its not too hard. I am part of a PVE guild, but another thing that holds us back would be the Kara Raid ID. At least remove that.. That way we could do kara more than once a week.. It makes getting a group for Kara alot harder to form.
you forget, we can't clear Kara in SWP gear. what makes you think we could take on that DAMNED boss that requires a warlock spamming searing pain? Where are you going to get the fire resist required? Leotharis was a freaking BITCH, thankfully he's towards the end. Then the Water elemental that the tank(s) needs frost and nature resist for. I don't even see us making it past the lurker, honestly. Jump in the water before you're blown across the map? Yeah, probably not. I've done all this, years ago. I still remember the strats and all that, but it ultimately depends on people following orders. We can't get them to do this in trade with English only, we can't get it in BGs with taking or returning a flag. I'm sorry, but the harsh reality is quite simple. People will not listen to you, regardless of the reward on the other side.

Perhaps, I'm being harsh. Here's a test for you. Down Gruul and submit a screenshot of it. Or Magtheridon, even easier. Can you do it?

Better off asking Henhouse to make SWP gear drop off MgT regular bosses. That's about the extent you can expect, and even that has its consistent failures as well.

@Henhouse. As far as I've seen with the clomping around with my brother in TBC dungeons, they function. There is a few quirks at times, like I've saved Thrall ten times and still cannot enter Black Morass. Though, I bet I missed the quest. So that might be invalid. The only time I face problems, was when I visited vanilla dungeons like UBRS and BRD, where events do NOT work at all. (eg: Rend in UBRS, Arena in BRD.) On that note, bring back Sulfurous Slammers. Yes, slammer. the amazing beer that catches you on fire. I so badly miss the taste of it... I may have a problem. >.<
