Hardcore concerned over Lich King content

Are Blizzard ignoring heavy users at their peril?

One European guild has successfully negated all the raiding content added to World of Warcraft as part of the new Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack.

While the TwentyFifthNovember guild are needless to say proud of their achievement, their rapid progress through the new content has raised concern among hardcore WoW players that the new content released by Blizzard might pander too much to the 'lighter' tastes of casual players.

"We are proud to declare that all WOTLK PVE raid content has now been cleared," the guild reveal on their site.

"This is both a moment of triumph and a cause for concern. The question in all our minds right now is if we could do this, how soon until the rest of the top guilds in the world clear all the raid content that WOTLK has to offer?

"Did Blizzard miscalculate in the tuning of these encounters? Or is this Blizzard folding under the weight of a large casual player base that demands to be on equal footing with end-game raiders?"

More on this controversy soon.
