Glory of the Icecrown Raider

Looks like Blizzard changed the Glory of the Raider achievement by removing the Neck Deep in Vile requirement in 3.3.3, so we only needed All You Can Eat (sindragosa) for our GotIR achievement. As of tonight, mission accomplished!

Grats everyone on their drakes!


On another note, it's been interesting to see how big of a difference gear has made to our raids each week. Clearing ICC10 with 245 and 251 gear is a vastly different experience than doing it with 264 gear -- which we're now getting access to, but every 25-man guild has had from the start. ICC10, both normal and heroic versions, seem very well balanced if you attempt it without 25-man gear. Many encounters are trivialized with 264+ gear though.

Obviously we still have 1 more fight (H:Arthas) to finish until we "beat the game" (again), but we're quite proud of our accomplishment to date. While our wowprogress rank doesn't appear all that special (World 673, US 205 at the time of this writing), considering we accomplished that against every other 25-man guild in the game who were getting 2x the number of badges each week and started with 20ilvls of gear more than us I think says a lot. I'd bet money that the number of guilds who have done the same can be counted on one hand. This is by no means a whine or rant. It's a nod to the extraordinary group of people we have that not only keep us competitive despite being overwhelming underdogs, but make it so much fun to play this game week in and week out.
