Word has been travelling around regarding the player who already reached the level eighty cap on Wrath of the Lich King recently. Yet more surprising is the fact that all the new PvE instances have been beaten by the joined forces of two guilds; Nihilum and SK Gaming, and it hasn’t even been a full week since the expansion’s release.
The Raiders had this to say on the matter:
We are proud to declare that all WOTLK PVE raid content has now been cleared. This is both a moment of triumph and a cause for concern. The question in all our minds right now is if we could do this, how soon until the rest of the top guilds in the world clear all the raid content that WOTLK has to offer? Did Blizzard miscalculate in the tuning of these encounters? Or is this Blizzard folding under the weight of a large casual player base that demands to be on equal footing with end-game raiders?
I don’t think Blizzard will adjust the difficulty of these instances as it’s more likely that the guilds in question are just too good. I mean come on; Nihilum and SK Gaming are among the most well known World of Warcraft guilds. If anyone was going to rape these instances, they’d be on the usual suspects list. Still, beating all the instances within three days, talk about dedication.

It should also be taken into consideration that both these guilds were in the beta, and thus have done the learning of the encounters before launch. Naxxarams is also a re-used raid so they already know it.
