Molten Core Anniversary Dungeon

The good news:
"The 10- year anniversary celebration will begin in-game on Friday, November 21 and will last until Tuesday, January 6, 2015 at 10 a.m. PST."
Hopefully that'll be enough time for everyone to get in. I'm still a *tad* grouchy, but it's nothing like a rush.
.... except when one gets to the bad news:
".@FunkFreshHill @TheCrafticus Repeat MC runners will have a chance to get Hatespark the Tiny and the Flames of Ragnaros enchant illusion

"
So I'm not sure what 'repeat MC runners' means, how often we'll have the chance to run, and what the chance is. So there *is* some anger left over here. >:( I don't want to have to lose my chance at a pet forever and always simply because RNG doesn't want to cooperate.

Yup. Perhaps Wain should merge the other 10th Anniversary topic since it will be in WoD?

again, in my opinion, a stupid decision on their part. The new MC should have been level 90, with people levelled down to 90 if they were higher. This way people might actually get to start DOING the raid the day it comes out, instead of having to wait until they've levelled enough.
as it is, it's barely a month and a half of availability for the raid.

Oh! Is there another? Sorry. I didn't think to look; I was considering 'It's a WoD thing, therefore....'

At the time of the other one, we didn't know if it'd be WoD or not. XD So I had it in wow general. Now that we know it is, a merger to your topic may be in order.

You have until January to get to level 100, and the game releases in November-so thats roughly two months.

I still might rush to 100 on some of my characters (or at least more then the two I will be leveling for the mad DMF bank!) Plus it seems like a fun idea (the MC raid again) And I wanna watch most of my old raiding buddies to have MC flash backs with me <3

You know, if you buy the expac on release date, which I'm quite sure well over half the subscribers won't. Most won't get it within the first month.
They NEVER should have decided to make it a level 100 MC. The event is celebratiing the LAST ten years. Honestly, if it goes live at level 100, I won't renew my subscription.
It's a slap in the face to loyal subscribers. I don't give a crap if they think it's enough time. I didn't play at level 100 for the last 10 years. I will genuinely not renew my subscription. I dodn't even know if my computer can play 6.0 and on, but if it can, I won't be able to afford Warlords for a bit, and for me to miss the anniversary event because they decide to release an expansion 8 days before it starts is bull.

I don't understand the hate for it being at lv 100? Like really? And I feel your pain on getting WoD, I might not be able to get it at this rate (yey bills!)
But anyways, its ok being at level 100 since everyone in the WoW player base is going to level in a different way most will grasp their class really quickly others might not. But I'm sure Blizz has taken that into account when making this a level 100 raid meaning it might not be to hard since the MC bosses are easy (not back in vanilla I mean like in the here and now). I think that's why it will be going on for a long time, like my only hope for it is not to be a weekly thing like I can just que for it when I like and still get a chance of these random dropping items, since yeah if it is based off RNG then it would be nice to save MONTHS of farming to get it when you could just do it in a week when your still getting use to the changes to your class (Even then some of the changes are going to be live soon in 6.0 so we have some time still to get use to them before WOD is even out!)
Maybe this MC will be more of a training dummy then anything.

Everything from the twitter feed to the beta says it will go live at level 100... soooo, I hope you find something else to play.
I personally have no issues with it. For me, 8 days is more than enough time to get to level 100 so I can run it until I am sick and tired of it (yay LFR...), which will likely be by the second time through. lol
I wish the hints Muffinus drops could be a little more precise on the possible drop rate though. Do I need to start buying cases of energy drinks and push multiple toons to level 100? :O

All I can say is /popcorn
Really, rage quitting over that? Slap in the face? A slap in the face would have been 2 weeks. It's an anniversary event for crying out loud .
We need a return of the zombie invasion, but we'll never get that because it interferes with someone turning in 10 boar ears.
Mmmmm buttery. ...

It took me 3 months to go from 85-90 the first time. I like to enjoy the questing experience, do everything I can.
It's not okay to punish me for trying to actually take in the content Blizzard made for us. I shouldn't miss out on something celebrating the last 10 years I played simply because I didn't rush for 2 months.
They have level and gear scaling technology. They employ it in Challenge Modes, Proving Grounds, and Battlegrounds. They could SIMPLY make it so that the MC LFR scales all level 90-99 people to an average ilvl for a level 100 character, and voila. But instead they choose to punish people.

What I'm worried for is the lack of people at level 100. Many people won't rush, so even if you're done in a week or so you've got to wait for loads of other people to get to 100 too

I could perhaps get to 100 with plenty of time to spare, but I may not get MC done simply because others may not be as worried as I am over the mount.
For those of us on EU, Draenor is coming out on the 14th. Good thing about that is it's a Friday. I think I'll be nicking some of your energy drinks, as I won't be leaving my room much

How incredibly ironic that one of the most common phrases spoken by Pandaren NPCs is "what's your rush, take your time".
now Blizzard wants us to rush and hurry and just level, level,level.
I'm one of those who takes the time to read quest text, sometimes multiple times. I want to get a handle on what I'm doing, why I'm doing it. I am emotionally invested in the characters I play and in their part in the story.
Not everyone wants to rush through new content.
I won't "Rage quit" because of it, but I sure as hell will lose a HUGE amount of respect for Blizzard. They're starting to sound a lot like Squeenix.

I personally think anyone 'rage quitting' over this is being a tad melodramatic. It only took me a week to get from 85 - 90 and that was questing with my fiance with his schedule in mind since he had to go to bed early and we did read the quests.
