Inferno Raiding

[Crimsonclaws]

OctoWoW has inherited an issue, a big issue from TWoW. In TWoW, its no secret that the inferno population began to steadily decline as time passed. Players favored immortality over inferno mode. The longer things went on, the greater this preference became culminating in the complete removal of the inferno questline. OctoWoW has made inferno the default state. This is a step in the right direction to be sure, but not enough. As things are, there simply is not enough incentive pushing people to participate in inferno raiding.

My suggestion is as follows...
1. Add titles that are rewarded the first time a player clears a particular raid. Not only will this incentivize raiding but it will also give players a measure of how familiar their fellow players are with raid mechanics.

2. Massively incentivize raiding, and when I say massive, I mean MASSIVE!!! Seriously ,while its less of a concern for the SC realm, in the HC realm players need some EXTREME incentives to justify taking such extreme risks. Even the most hardened of players can be mentally and emotionally broken if they die enough times. As things currently are, in the HC server Its not a question of IF, its just a question of WHEN a player will decide to give up on inferno raiding.

The risks simply outweigh the rewards by too heavy of a margin to justify it, and just to further clarify....
Separating the HC and SC communities did NOT help this. In fact, it made EVEN WORSE! Because now the dark portal is simply sitting there as a way out! Who the fuck wouldn't take it? As if that's not bad enough already...people choosing this are being ridiculed and mocked for doing so in the world chat! In fact the amount of mockery leveled at these people is EVEN MORE EXTREME THEN DEATHS!!! This is creating yet another problem, a horrific and toxic world chat that nobody wants to be part of...don't get me wrong a toxic world chat is nothing new, but we can at least abstain from actively throwing gas onto the dumpster fire!
