Today's RWF Recap video covers the exciting events of the start of the race — splits, of course! All RWF guilds began with splits, mostly focusing on clearing Normal first on all of their characters before graduating to heroic, where bosses like Nymue and Smolderon began to cause wipes for guilds making use of community helpers to get extra gear. Whether the extra time spent with these helpers to get more loot is worthwhile remains to be seen, but Dratnos thinks it probably is still very worthwhile due to the amount of ilvl that the guilds need to acquire.
Mythic Gnarlroot has also fallen to <Blue Shoe> and <Honolulu>, with more guilds likely to begin killing it as they finish their work in the lower difficulties.
The boss seems tuned to be a good bridge between the later heroic bosses and the mythic difficulty, but much remains unknown about how quickly the difficulty curve ramps up afterwards.
Dratnos and Tettles also cover the controversy around Dream Wardens renown exploits, including characters in RWF guilds that were rolled back and had the rewards removed from their inventories. Dratnos thinks this is a fair and proportionate punishment and hopes that Blizzard will work to establish a consistent pattern of enforcement that makes it very predictable which types of exploits will be actioned and which will be allowed.
