After a lot of thought and deliberation, we’ve decided to remove the attunement requirements to enter Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep: The Eye. While many of our attunements in the Burning Crusade have been good progression checks, a few of the attunements have turned out to cause unnecessary stress on guilds either doing the content or attempting to do the content. With Black Temple and Battle for Mount Hyjal thriving, we want to encourage (rather than prevent) new guilds and raid groups to attempt Serpentshrine and TK. We are going to leave the current attunement quests in the game so that players can still engage in the challenge and the lore of those quests should they choose to. At a later point, we are considering adding a final reward step to those quests as well (that way those who have already completed them would not miss out on a *new* reward).
We’re listening to feedback from you guys constantly and your opinions are important to us. We want this game to be the best possible MMO experience for our players.
Enjoy Serpentshrine and Tempest Keep =)
(Please note: This change will go live later today -- it's not yet active)

We created our current guild after our old one fell apart about 6 weeks ago. Thanks for wasting countless hours of ours getting majority of the guild through their trials only to have the attunements lifted.
I seriously hate you right now for all the Shadow Labs and other trials I've had to help out with. Jerk!

Worst idea ever... if people cant kill Gruul, Nightbane and Mags, they dont deserve to be in SSC/TK... Its not like doing 4 heroics is hard either. If the heroics are too hard for more casual players then nerf the heroics again not the attunement line.

Wow thats nuts! Grats to everyone thats not attuned yet! I hope we get some decent rewards for that final reward step that they're considering on adding later...

Q u o t e:
I am outraged. You're a terrible company and I am considering leaving this game.
All of Blizzard needs to learn how to please their customers. Attunements helped us. Thank you, so very much, for wasting many guild's countless hours clearing Karazhan, Gruul's, Mags, etc. for nothing. I thought this was a joke, if you do not keep these attunements, I guarantee that you will lose a decent amount of the raiding player base. Attunements were goals, now there is nothing special about getting in. Thanks so much! You guys plan to give a "reward" oh, ha ha, funny. Nothing is a greater reward than being one of the few guilds on your server entering these instances, you've now ruined that feeling for so many people. I am utterly outraged by you now, Blizzard. Just outraged, I'm sad this isn't April 1st.
Please, oh for the love of God, put the attunements back in. Put thought into the please.
You got loot from Kara, Gruul, Mag. People want to see content, there are more non-raiders than raiders, they pay the same amount to play this game.
People will still have to do Kara before they are doing The Eye, it won't change progression. But it will remove the artificial barrier that keeps guilds from progressing.

Good change.
I don't raid any longer but changes that allow a larger amount of people to play a larger amount of content and have more fun is a positive change. Very cool
