Not looking forward to this...

I keep hearing they're trying to nerf us so we can't solo content. Who is "us"? Multiboxers or single
players? Last time I checked as multiboxers we aren't soloing content with a single character. We use
teams of 5, 10, or some other mixed number greater than 1. I'm pretty sure what Blizzard is trying to stop
is something along the lines of players soloing the Lich King or possibly... soloing Deathwing once MoP
releases. They don't want players at 90 (with retardedly high stats) to be soloing some of the newer Cata
raid content that shouldn't be able to be solo'd.

Why any of you think that a drop in stats and a normalization of stats between expansions is going to
crush your hopes and dreams of farming the same shit you've been farming all this time (T1 - T6) is going
to change is beyond me. Were the naysayers really thinking that they'd be farming Heroic Lich King for
Invincible, that Firehawk from Firelands, or whatever Deathwing is going to drop? With as far as
multiboxers have gotten in this expansion's raid content I would say the answer is doubtful.

This is the same THE SKY IS FALLING type of post we see after every single BlizzCon. World of Warcraft
will continue to dominate the MMORPG realm with or without you.

What reason would they have to want to stop that? As in what objections could they have against those solo kills? besides that it's not like half of the game is able to solo LK.

They way it looks now items from vanilla raids would out gear all of BC. That's kinda dumb.

It is and it isn't. I say, if someone is willing to take the time to farm all of that raid content for the gear
then the time they spend doing so should help them progress to 70 better/easier/faster. Of course, no
one in their right mind would farm T2 gear at level 60 to progress to 70 at this stage in the game.

Vanilla T3 (not obtainable) would in theory bypass all BC leveling gear and carry you to BC T4 content.
Then BC T6 would bypass all of Wrath leveling gear and carry you to Wrath T7... and the cycle would
continue on like that.

Blizzard stated that T13 from Dragon Soul isn't going to be obtainable through Valor vendors. Who knows
if that will change but, the people with the top tier heroic mode T13 shouldn't have to work their ass off
at the end of an expansion only to have their gear mean nothing 2 levels into the next expansion.

Not currently, no; but what happens when stats double again? I don't care if people can solo old content...
I really don't. But people are throwing around the terms "we" and "us" as if Blizzard is in their meetings
saying, "Well, we really hate multiboxers specifically so... let's normalize gear so they can't possibly do this
old content by themselves." <--- That's exactly how Blizzard meetings go down.

I don't know what the real true secret underlying reason why they want to normalize the gear but, why
does there have to be one? Ghostcrawler explained right in the blog article what the reason was...
because stats are inflated and are ridiculous and that's not what they want.
