The former SK-Gaming PvE team, now known as 25 November, have cleared all of WoTLK's current raid content just two days after release.Forget record power-levelling speeds, 25 November (formerly SK-Gaming and Nihilum) have already cleared Naxxaramas and the Malygos encounter as of yesterday. With the expansion only having been released on Thursday, that's just over two days from level 70 to world firsts at 80.
A statement on the guild's website echoed the concerns of many hardcore raiders, wondering if Blizzard has pandered a little too much to the casuals: "...is this Blizzard folding under the weight of a large casual player base that demands to be on equal footing with end-game raiders?"
Although there is more PvE content to come, the community has been divided by the news. The fact that some raid members hadn't hit the level cap adds to the concern of PvE-ers who are left wondering whether the game really has gotten too easy. With the much anticipated Arthas encounter due in the next big patch, players have expressed concern that one of the Warcraft series' best-loved characters may be cheapened if the same thing happens again.
Whether Blizzard will run these instances through a re-tune remains to be seen. No mention of the achievement has yet been made on the official websites.

But to be serious, Blizzard really won't keep releasing new content and stuff just because 25 guys gave up their lives for 2-3 days and decided they needed to play 72h straight to be lvl80 and go through the content. While atleast 10 million other customers (read EQUALLY important customers) hadn't even reached lvl72 or 73.
It'll be some time before the new raid instance(s) will be released, and I can't say I'm disappointed about that. It's just mindboggling to see people actually doing something so pointless as this.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's an accomplishment to be that fast and clear the content that Blizzard made available at the start of WotLK, but what do you do now? Wait for a month or two untill new content will be released? How can anyone be excited about new content if you clear it at this rate?
I'd say: Don't let them beta test Arthas once that time has come, and make him so hard they will cry for GM's that it's impossible whereas the GM tells them that they should l2p.
Big grats and all, but seeing their statements made on that site of them, and I've seen it happen in the past.. bunch of arrogant muppets.
still i feel sad for them... that means that there life=wow
what happends if blizzard closes wow? they kill themselfes? man i love wow but still..
go and get a girlfriend or a boyfriend
1) THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
2) This is *only* as ridiculous as Gruul and Magtheridon being unkillable by anyone other than the top 1-2% of players for months after the release of TBC. Too easy, unfortunately for 25Nov, is much better for everyone than too hard. =/
