Raid Attunements for SSC and TK Dropped

In a massively random WoW post, user Tigole said that you will no longer be needing to do the attunement quests in WoW to enter Tempest Keep or the Serpent Shrine.

After a hell of a lot of thought and deliberation, Blizzard decided to remove the attunement requirements in World of Warcraft to enter Serpentshrine Cavern and Tempest Keep: The Eye. While many of our attunements in the Burning Crusade have actually been good progression checks, a few other attunements have really turned out to cause unnecessary stress on the guilds either doing the content or attempting to actually do the content. With the Black Temple and Battle for Mount Hyjal thriving, we also want to encourage (rather than stop) newer guilds and the raid groups to attempt Serpentshrine and TK. We are also going to leave all the current attunement quests in the WoW game so that all players can still engage in the biggest challenge and the lore of those quests should they choose to. Possibly at a later point, we will be considering adding a final reward step to those quests as well (that way those who have already finished them would not miss out on an all *new* reward).

This is fairly big news and pretty shocking WoW news at that.
