An ironman challenge for each class would be great as something for next year. That way there is no one class is stacked by players to win. Everyone can build a unique gameplan. The first one to finish would have high praise of course.
Yes, Elderin, we got that the first time you complained about how the Iron Man challenge couldn’t possibly be any fun for anyone involved because you wouldn’t have fun doing it. Clearly they should call the whole thing off because they’re deluding themselves into enjoying something artificially difficult.
But then, people play games in the first place to be challenged, so…
Yes, I’m a stick-in-the mud. Perhaps it’s just me, but I look at the final results of a “challenge” and the point of the overall game.
If someone accomplishes the Iron Man challenge, what do they get? Another level 85 character. In fact, they get another level 85 character that is extremely under-equipped. And, they accomplish this feat by the hardest method possible. (And, yes, I don’t understand most achievements either).
Like I indicated earlier, driving backwards in a lawnmower down I-75 from Atlanta to Savannah is also a challenge. But at the end, you still just drove form Atlanta to Savannah.
At the end of the “Iron Man” challenge, you still just have another level 85 toon. GRATS!
It’s a challenge, not a requirement. Some people like to do it, others don’t.
There are thousands of different “challenges” held around the world and most of them, if not all, are virtually “pointless”. Don’t like that? Then ignore them. It’s not hard.
Sometimes, I like to pick stuff up with my toes. It would be easier to use my hands, but it’s just fun knowing I can do it. This is how I view the Iron Man Challenge. The same concept is used in various traditional games every day. Why go to first, second, and third base when you’re just trying to get to where you are anyhow? Why have the floor be lava when you could stroll your way to the kitchen instead of climb it? Why climb a wall when you’re just going to have to go back down it?
In the end, the point isn’t the end goal, but to look back on what you did and say “Hey, I can do that.” Otherwise, Life is only that you are born and then you die. It’s the journey, not the destination.
Congrats, Kripp, on making the journey interesting!
Truely epic!
Kripp is truly an inspiration to all hunters everywhere.
/salute
hahahaah love it! “what do we say to the god of death? %^&* you…
Well done!
Was expecting “Not today.”
What a twist!
That was fast, though. I was expecting the ironman challenge to take longer. I want to try it when I get back.
Now do it as a Priest.
The God of Death is Yogg-Saron.
Truly a worthy monument to dedication.
nerf Hunters!
>Now do it as a Priest.
This.
Ooo, priest!
Thats a fun challenge, might have to take up the cup myself.
Good Show!

Grats to Kripp.
Awesome!!!
Congratulations! Now to start raiding in White/Grey gear xD
I want to see a mage do it. That way Chris’s campaign to have them buffed will be destroyed forever!
No offense, but I’d rather have my eyes gouged out than do the Iron Man challenge.
I’ve already leveled 5 toons to 85. Why would I want to level another in a fashion that is as hard as possible?
Thats why it is called a challenge
@Unfy
So is driving from Atlanta to Savannah down I-75 in a lawnmower in reverse.
That doesn’t mean I want to do it.
@Elderin
“So is driving from Atlanta to Savannah down I-75 in a lawnmower in reverse.”
And why on earth would you not want to do that?
brb, buying a lot of snacks and a lawnmower in Atlanta
Lol @Falos!
Oh, and as for Hunter being the best class for the Ironman Challenge: Feign Death ftw!
Easy answer there then Elderin, don’t do the Iron man challenge
And leave the people who DO want to do it to their fun
“Well, I never!”
Kripparrian: Me neither! BWAHAHA!
Needs more Ice and Fire.
@Elderin: Y’know, paint up the lawnmower like something out of Mario Kart and gimmie a load of bananas to throw at people and you’ve got my attention!
Yes, Elderin, we got that the first time you complained about how the Iron Man challenge couldn’t possibly be any fun for anyone involved because you wouldn’t have fun doing it.

On a less sarcastic note, hooray for Kripparrian!
To everyone.
