Mythic

Coming soon to the PTR is a big surprise: World of Warcraft's patch 6.2.3, which features Cataclysm-era Timewalking dungeons (plus a new Timewalking dungeon for both the Burning Crusade and Wrath eras), the chance to get a new Infinite Timereaver mount (above) from Timewalking bosses, cross-realm Mythic raiding, Valor points for Heroic and Mythic dungeons (which can be used to purchase ilvl upgrades for gear), a Grove Warden mount for defeating Heroic or Mythic Archimonde (meaning it will not be a store mount), Arena Season 3 (with new gear ranging from ilvl 715 to 740), and rewards up to ilvl 695 for players in Tanaan and 725 for players running Mythics.

If you're interested in raiding Hellfire Citadel on Mythic difficulty, you probably want to give a look to these guides on Wowhead, created by Method, the guild that completed world first Mythic Archimonde.

After a few harrowing weeks and raid resets, Method has come through with the world first Mythic kill of Archimonde, the final boss in Hellfire Citadel.

When I left my progression raiding guild and settled down into my current 'raid when I can get to it' guild, I realized things had changed for me and World of Warcraft. It's not that I love the game any less -- after eleven years I think it's safe to say that WoW and I are officially a thing -- but I just finally lost my taste for what it takes to raid content at the highest level the game offers.

One of the biggest (in terms of success) raid guilds in the world has decided to step back. Blood Legion, a US raiding guild on the Illidan server, has decided to scale back their raiding hours.
