People think Onyxia is bad, wait until they see original TBC attunements.

is the image link if that helps. In any event, yes. Attunements in TBC was a big gating, but made sure to weed out the casuals from the devoted. Onyxia being a short chain compared to pretty much getting keys for every normal dungeon and a few heroic keys as well to get more than just Kara attuned.

[The Shortest Path]

Eh, people tend to overstate the difficulty of attunements in TBC. Most of the stuff you needed to do were things that were done over the normal course of leveling and gearing your character for raids anyways, i.e. running dungeons a bunch to get the rep heroic keys and then doing each heroic at least once.

The quest chains for Hyjal and Black Temple were the only extraneous parts, really. It was a lot less tedious than grinding vanilla reps to exalted. Or non-dungeon TBC reps, for that matter.

Uh, the TK attunement in particular was fucking brutal. Hyjal/BT sucked ass because you had to keep attuning new recruits when dealing with player turnover.
