Pre-MoP Raids No Longer Require Groups

Unread post by Magnakilro »

In Patch 5.1, it was announced that you can enter any pre-MoP raid without a raid group. This should help a bit with snagging those new mini pets!

Finally! You'd think it's pulling teeth trying to find someone just so you can make a raid group to enter. This'll make things so much easier.

Yesssss.

My weekly Tempest Keep/Onyxia/Malygos runs just became that much more convenient.

(Also, due to a screwup on my part I found out you can now gun down the first massive wave of whelps without severe risk of pet death.)

This is such good news. No more dual-boxing with a Starter Edition account just to get into an instance I could clear in my sleep.

Very happy to hear this news! I love farming old raids but I'm always too shy to ask people to group with me.

Yeah, you'd just have to grab a friend (or bribe someone) for that one. Shouldn't be a problem after 5.1 since people will want to go there for the battle pets.

Same here, I'd feel like a nuisanse asking guildies to group with me just so I could do mount runs. I am ridiculously happy about this! Thank you thank you! :hug:

It is soloable... But it needs a lot of practice with Razorgore... Fireball volley the adds, sleeping the other dragons, kiting etc.

Seen some videos do it, you should find them on youtube.
