So far I'm of the opinion that Blizzard has made things too easy. Every level 80 I see is in full level 80 epics. Quests so far have been STUPIDLY easy at times. Droprates on quest items have been pretty much made 100% for most quests (which I'm not against, because I dislike the "grind" of the game) and group quests are mostly nonexistant and when they do exist they're not really group quests because they're so easy.
Basically, Blizzard is trying to make the game more "casual" friendly but they don't realize that "casual" doesn't mean "retarded." I'm all for making quests and dungeons take less time, but I don't like that they're making them so easy that you can faceroll through them.
Heroics are a complete and utter joke in WotLK. They are nothing, and I mean NOTHING like BC heroics when they were first released. Top end guilds couldn't get through heroic Shattered Halls. People DREADED when CoT heroics were the daily. With the new emblems being so easy to acquire you can obtain...
Neck
Belt
Trinket
Tier 7 Gloves
Tier 7 Chest
All epic, not to mention all the epics you get when rolling around in the heroics themselves. They are being AoE tanked straight for level 80, and only get easier. Blizzard did the most idiotic thing IMO when they removed the attunements. Where you know, people were actually required to try. The first 80's on Llane did a 10 man naxx pug and cleared it. Currently the hardest fight right now is Sarph with 3 drakes up.
(not the best video, but at least you get to see it)
For being the hardest fight it is kind of a let down, we did attempts with 2 drakes up and failed only because we needed another tank. It just requires some patience from dps, and some quick maneuvering from your tanks.
If I could ask blizzard to one thing in the entire world it would be to bring back attunements. I'm sick of these shitty ass players in my guild QQ'ing because they don't get to go to Naxx. They expect to much free loot. FU blizzard... that is all.

in reply to Kazilla's post starting "fix't"
I don't see how attunements would fix anything. They need to make the content harder. I'm fine with it taking less than an hour to do a dungeon, but I'm not fine with it requiring no skill to do it.

Here is how it will fix anything.
Back at 70 on my hunter I needed the Sonic Spear from Murmur. So I got me a damn good group, everyone was in tier 4 and 5 and we were blowing through it. We get to Murmur and things just stop. Not a single idiot I was grouped with had any knowledge of Murmur and we werent able to defeat him... Player sin tier 4 and 5 shouldn't have any trouble with Murmur, it is one of the easiest fights. None of them had to go through the attunement which required you to kill Murmur.
Having attunements won't stop idiots from getting into end game raiding, it will just slow it down.
