Everything that is fun in life is either bad for your health, immoral or illegal!
I cannot remember where I read it, but they wanted to make doing old raid content harder. If they nerf our health, damage, and heals it will accomplish that goal. Recently I have enjoyed farming the old tier sets from the old raids. If they made it difficult to run ancient content they will lose some people. Those old raids are good for farming gold as well. What would the point be if they just wanted lower numbers and used the exact same percentages based on our current stats? The goal is to nerf us. Time will tell what they decide to do.

How cool would it be if AQ, black temple, ICC, etc etc would all be tuned for the cap level ... plenty of old content I never saw would become very attractive to raid again. I don't really see the fun in 1 shotting mobs. Maybe they should just keep the original instances the way the were so people can keep farming, but add an 'elite' mode were numbers scale with current raiding content.

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.
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.

If you look at the first and second charts in the link earlier in this thread and compare the vertical distance between level 60 and 85 content/gear, you can easily tell that the "squish" they are talking about would be an absolutely huge nerf to high-level characters running previous content.
I know I'm running every single raid I can think of that has decent transmog gear 4-8 times per week now so if they "squish" our ability to run anything in the future, I'll already have all the cool gear I could ever want.
Plus, running all the old raids and collecting great looking gear is super fun![]()
