Gearing up in Icecrown Citadel - By: ameliewang

In Icecrown Citadel, Blizzard used a gating system. The instance's four wings were opened one by one, and only normal modes were available until the Lich King had been defeated. This made for weeks of farming for Paragon.
"We knew the normal modes would be easy, so our goal was to farm gear with multiple raids. Gating sucks though, because guilds have to get alts to raid with multiple raids to gear mains for hard modes," Lazeil says.
Each week, Paragon had three 25-man raids going in order to gear up their mains. The raiders in the guild were divided into three buying wow gold groups. In order to make looting as optimal as possible, each of the groups had more or less the same amount of buy wow gold mains needing each of the three different tier tokens. The raids were then filled up with mostly primary alts, but also with some secondary alts.
"We didn't force anyone to level an alt. Everyone did that out of free will, well, not everyone. Some people didn't even have primary alts," Sejta admits. Most of the members did have at least one alt character though, and others again chose to level another in order to try raiding with a specific class.
Paragon started their alt raiding back in Trial of the Crusader. With alts that had gotten the Tribute to Insanity achievement from 25-man ToGC, they had a very good starting point as their alt characters were very well geared. With three 25-man ICC raids going each week, they could funnel loot onto their buy cheap wow gold mains. On top of that, they ran six or seven 10-man groups to mostly gear up their alts further, and at the same time get those few pieces of 10-man loot that their mains needed.
Still, they ran into some problems. "Most of us probably had a decent amount of the wow gold cheap random loot drops, but we kept getting Protector tier tokens from every raid. At least for me, the Vanquisher tier was quite hard to get," Rakez remembers.
