Sadly, I expect that Blizzard is going to ignore these questions for a few days and wait to see how many guilds kill Illidan compared to last week. I'm not expecting any comments or hotfixes until tomorrow or next week.

Q u o t e:
Well Tigole made it explicitly clear at Blizzcon that he and others at Blizz were not happy with how easily guilds were downing Illidan. Take a look at wowjutsu.. the % of guilds who have downed the council is essentially = the % of guilds that have downed Illidan. IMO there should be some noticable drop in % here.
Blizz has stated that they never intended 2.2 to take so long to get pushed to live. Had it been released last month, when it probably was expected to be released, at least 50 guilds or so wouldnt have downed Illidan yet. I'm assuming this change was something that couldnt be hotfixed, but I obviously have no idea.
Now coming from someone whose guild is extremely casual, I guess I dont see the problem with having to farm all the other bosses in BT + Hyjal in order to get your raid sufficiently geared so that dps is bettered. We guilds who arent nearly as skilled at execution as you bleeding edgers have to make up for this via more farming of bosses before being able to progress. Just sounds to me like Blizz just added a gear check for you guys at the end.
It just sounds like many of you are complaining that learning the strat and perfect execution should guarantee an Illidan kill, and completely discounting having to take time to farm up your raid for a few weeks-- which prior to the berserk timer wasnt necessary
More comments from level 5 alts who will never be in black temple please.
And why dont you think before you speak, you should go look at wowjutsu:
Illidari Council
0.85%
Illidan Stormrage
0.62%
And thats only a percentage of guilds who have completely cleared karazhan.
I really have a hard time believing blizzard isn't happy with that small %

This was perfect timing what better way to keep people busier till sunwell, then by making bosses that already exist harder.
But in all seriousness buffing a boss that all the top guilds have had on farm for a while now is pretty retardalicious. If he was too easy why wasnt this implemented 3 months ago.
It would be nice to have endgame raid bosses that were tough when they came out but still beatable and didnt take 15 patches to get em right. Maybe they need to drop some of our monthly fees into quality raid boss testers.

Q u o t e: we're checking this out
Nice. I think there are some good suggestions in this thread. Hopefully, you guys will make a change so guilds just getting to this encounter will have a fighting chance.

Only thing I worry about is any changes they are going to do won't go live til like 2.3 in a month and a half. =/

Q u o t e:
whoa, back from the dead
haha, no we've been around. patch 2.2 took longer than expected on the PTR and that has held up 2.3 and 2.4 which are going to be great patches for evereyone. between 2.3 and 2.4 we have a new 10 person dungeon coming (zul'aman), a new 5 person dungeon coming (with heroic difficulty), a new 25 person raid, lots of new daily quests, new pvp honor and arena rewards -- really something for everyone. while voice chat is an awesome feature (and going to get even better over time), there's not a whole lot to say about it just yet.
everyone is working hard on getting 2.3 on the PTR, polishing 2.4 and, most importantly, building an awesome expansion -- wrath of the lich king.
we'll get this illidan issue figured out and follow up with a post later today.

The first step is to admit we are powerless over Blizzard, then we can come to believe that a power greater than ourselves can restore us to sanity. We make suggestions and point out flaws then make a decision to turn our will and characters over to the care of the development team and hope for the best...
Then we just make due with whatever crap they throw at us :-D
