Before, after doing all my math, it would have taken until the middle of November for anyone in our 10-player team to receive the staff. This is with us 7/7 each week for the last 3 weeks, and doing heroics.
Now with the Smoldering Essences nerf, it is going to take 12 weeks to finish this, from the 6 weeks it would have taken.
Our first week we went 2/7, second week 3/7, third week 5/7, fourth week 6/7, sixth week 7/7, we are progressing at a moderate rate and we are already on heroics.
I am currently 356 / 1000 for the cinders, still needing to kill all 7 bosses again, with some on heroic.
We aren't a hardcore raiding guild, but we are capable of killing a few bosses on heroics. Why is this staff going to be impossible for us to achieve?
Patch 4.3 was guaranteed "this year", meaning on or by December 27th, we should have 4.3. With this recent change, we will not see the staff until maybe late December.
I felt it was slow to begin with, but now I feel it is impossible for many guilds, like my own, to even see one.
I realize the legendary staff must be legendary and hard to obtain, but for a guild able to kill bosses on heroic and also have rag on basically farm mode, why should we be unable to see it?
Please give me an honest answer, please no trolling or anything else. I really only wish to see well constructed responses, please.
