Players will no longer require an attunement quest to enter Hyjal.

• Players will no longer require an attunement quest to enter the Black Temple.
• Players who have completed the attunement quests for Black Temple and Hyjal will be granted the title of "Hand of A'dal".
• You may now fight Prince Kael'thas and Lady Vashj without first killing all the other bosses in their respective dungeons.

Despite the difficulty of Vashj and Kael'Thas, that Blizzard has removed the attunement requirements from Patch 2.4. Naxx, Blackwing Lair, and even Molten Core still require people to become attuned. Now seemingly, two of the hardest and most revered raids do not.

While the removal of the attunement is obviously a way to get more people to see their new raid zone, the Sunwell Plateau, all is not golden. Many, many, many raiding guilds and players who have already made the brutal trek through Vashj and Kael will be quite upset. On the other hand players, who are not yet able to, but perhaps ready for, the first few bosses of MH and BT, will undoubtedly rejoice.

It has less to do with a 'private' playground and more that people seem to honestly believe that the best gear and the major lore characters in this game should not be hard to get or kill. Give me a break.

It relieves some unnecessary stress from guilds that are just progressing through Vashj and Kael (just like mine). This will allow us to down Kael until the patch hits the live servers, but we won't be doomed to kill him (and Vashj, though Vashj isn't such a big problem anymore) many times just to get that stupid quest item for every single player.

Getting all the active players through this attunement quest is quite stressing for guilds with a rather large pool of players. Glad to see that won't be a problem anymore.

And for those who're going to cry "they're getting something for free that we had to fight for!" Hey, you got in there way earlier! That's your prize for going through the quest the hard way. Be happy, keep your frickin' elitism to yourself and let some more players have some fun now, too.
