They're not interesting. The point of the fucking game is to acquire items and gain character power. This is the exact opposite. I'd rather bedeniedcontent by cockblocking guilds than do content like this:

We didn't clear our CMs for time we just did them for Gold. A couple, like Stormstout Brewery, just suck and we made the threshold with about two seconds to spare. Once they were done though I can't say I have the urge to 'continue' them even if they offer the best risk vs reward for Valor cap each week. And as for difficulty, it varies. Some are laughably easy (e.g. Scholomance/Gate of Setting Sun) others are downright retarded (Stormstout). Actually, Stormstout is the only one I considered assbeat challenging. The rest of the dungeons we completed in about 7 hours with a single run-through on Bronze or Silver to get an idea of what to expect.

I loved those... my guild vs death and taxes with/versus a horde guild. Was a nightmare of griefing and some of the most fun I've had.
People calling those epics "free epics" reminds me how much I hate the average WoW/MMO player these days.
Seriously though, I don't think any WoW player who actually knows and understands what progression means has ever sat there in raid loot and looked at someone in 'free epics' 20 ilvls lower than anything worth getting and said "Oh what the hell, I should have just gotten those." Way back in vanilla when they introduced the 0.5 dungeon tier, people got all upset about those 'free' epics without paying attention to the fact that they were mostly worse than blues you could get from ZG. As for now if you're getting excited (or upset) about a single piece of 480 gear, I have no idea what you've been doing with your time in WoW, but it hasn't been gearing up.

.I think Gold CM's are going to be my goal more than anything else this expansion. Nowhere near ready yet.

They have a definite snowball effect attached to them. Once you complete one, you'll understand the 'gimmick' behind them fairly well and completing the rest of them should be fairly easy, given that you put in the actual time to do so. Good luck!
On another note, I'm taking a break for a while longer. Burned out this tier of raiding after trying to keep my raid of 7 good 3 downies going. Path of exile provides a nice stress-free release 8)
I never spent much time on the Blizzard forums, were people really so retarded to complain about sub-par tier .5 epics which required much more effort to get than their T1 upgrades?
The hard part is finding a group that isn't guild on a dead server. I am on Undermine and talk about dead. I am going to start working on ilvl first and then hop onwww.openraid.euand find a group that way.
