Before the patch, Clan Meteoris was one or two attempts away from defeating him. After the patch, we brought in too many healers, apps that had never seen the fight before, and had lag and UI issues and defeated him on the first pull of the night.
Some may complain that the game is a "joke" now and things are too easy. I will agree, raiding is much easier now than before the patch. I see this as an absolute good thing. At least for now, the gates into content have been blown open to all different skill levels of guilds. No longer are the upper elite few able to see, experience, and benefit from the majority of development.
As many know, I've been very critical of WoW's raid direction over the years. Unlike many others in higher end guilds, I feel the game is too hard. I feel TBC was, for the most part, a horrible failure. Raiding has reached a level of dedication that leaves the realm of gaming and enters the realm of a job.
If Wrath continues on the path of this most recent patch (raid bosses not being incredible road blocks for most guilds), I believe Blizzard would have made a significant step forward in their raid game. Surely many raiding guilds will be disrupted, disenchanted, and just plain upset. If Wrath fails to innovate and brings back the mentality of only the upper .5% of players seeing end game content, Clan Meteoris will more than likely not survive long in the next year. If it does innovate, and releases the iron grip on the upper tiers, Clan Meteoris will thrive and most certainly survive the newest expansion coming up.
