Several US guilds last night completed a 7/7 clear of Firelands Normal content and are already on Heroic content come the reset!

Enigma did it first according to wowprogress with Vodka close behind.

The logs show these times of kill:

Ragnaros   Jun 28, 2011 22:41 (+2hrs 8 mins)
Majordomo   Jun 28, 2011 20:33 (+29 mins)
Baleroc   Jun 28, 2011 20:04 (+23 mins)
Beth'tilac   Jun 28, 2011 19:41 (+23 mins)
Lrd Rhyolith   Jun 28, 2011 19:21 (+16 mins)
Shannox   Jun 28, 2011 19:05 (+10 mins)
Alysrazor   Jun 28, 2011 18:55 (first kill)

Does anyone want to bet that they had a raid team on the PTR during testing? :P

As heroic 5-man dungeons turned into facerolls, this was expected. These top guilds have been "testing" the encounters for 3-4 weeks already on PTR.

Prediction:
There is going to be a major QQ in all forums about PTR raid testing, and the current way of doing it will come to an end.
In a few months, Blizzard will start hiring new "GMs", the most active testers, that will execute the testing from inside the Blizzard system.

I don't know how quickly that was cleared - I wasn't raiding at that point.
But to clear naxx, you had to be 80 which means you need a while to level, then get a little gear, then go clear naxx. Or am I wrong here?

To be fair, progression isn't meant to go T11 Heroic > T12 Normal. Its is suppose to be normal to normal and HC to HC. So all of these top guilds have full 372 gear and as Teaell probably had full raiding groups on the PTR so I don't think it is any reflection on the contents ease.

Postal started raiding when the server came up yesterday and by the end of the night had cleared 7/7 normal.

Sorry! What do I miss here? Where is the fun in that!

It completely depends on how you enjoy the game: in a more relaxed way or go for server/world first.

One guild did 7/7 and decided to faction transfer, created a new guild and exploit the faction transfer to start on heroics.
