Many of you will recognize the image to the right as none other than the Spine of Deathwing.

After doing a dozen or so pre-nerf pulls and reaching the third plate, we quickly came to the realization that we’d sooner castrate ourselves with a rusty icecream scoop than be subjected to this abortion of an encounter. It is little more than a glorified trash pull that requires almost a quarter of an hour to complete.

To that end, I’d like to offer my condescending congratulations to all you pathetic souls out there who raided over Christmas, New Years, and the Superbowl just so you could be bested by Koreans on what is undoubtedly the worst fight ever put into the game.

We’ve always known we were better than you, but now we also know we’re smarter.

I just want you to know that I look forward to depriving you of every ilvl 416 best-in-slot trinket for the remainder of the instance, opting instead to confer them on hunters and feral druids. Kindly end your own existence, you pathetic excuse for a human being.

We finally brought him down. It was an excruciating 220 attempts, but it’s finally over, so that’s a relief. I think everyone realizes it should have died 100 attempts sooner, but we just couldn’t get our act together this tier. Ah well, the reset button’s not far away.

I would just like to congratulate our competition, Insomnia, for successfully trumping us and snagging a kill before we could. You were the better men this time around, and you deserved it. And a belated congrats to Ropetown for handily beating us this tier as well.

Lastly, so long to all those guilds who perished or are in the midst of crumbling to the Firelord: Adept, Tsunami, Juggernaut, Tupan Techno, dozens of Euro guilds, VANQUISH… 10-man LOL!
