This is something that sprung to life in a discussion on our guildforums, about that you need to be fully buffed with consumables and potions to even have a chance to kill the bosses in the 25-man raid instance “Serpentshire Cavern”!

Blizzard are aware that consumables is starting to become a problem since people really don’t want to spend all the time they are paying for, to run around farming reagents for consumables that is going to be wasted in the end anyways by inevitable wipes. “Great, I had pots worth 500g and they all got wasted on this one single boss“. That doesn’t sound very fun does it?

The developers knows that this is killing the experience for players, since they’ve had enough of this and in the end can’t simply afford consumables. Then what do people do do? They go to the ever so clever gold-selling services, just to afford consumables. Suddenly you are paying real money just to get ingame money for some stacks of virtual items to boost your performance, which shouldn’t be needed, as skill doesn’t come from consumables!

Wonderful side-effect of making consumables essential for raids, Blizzard! Feed the goldsellers and their vermin (bots)!
