Zomg! And I’ve have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for that thieving lolknight! Back in a month, will see this new instance for myself then.

Totally ripped you off om me own blog on the theme for this post

And yea, seems bout right that the new instance will come after summers over, it will however have NO TRASH, at all. That should be interesting on its own. But will prob mean that it will be an instance that is over and done with qiuck. 5 bosses and no trash? ‘hello’ two hour raids.

That’s been one of my biggest gripes in Wrath – the lack of content, although I think Blizzard are getting better at fixing it. Naxx was out for a LONG time before we saw Ulduar, and doing Naxx again but with one hand tied behind your back for the same loot and 10 more epeen points was NOT interesting. I was a bit worried about the news that Ulduar would feature Hard Modes as additional content, because again, doing the same boss a different way is not new content. However, there were enough tough and interesting bosses in Ulduar, and the next content patch is coming soon enough, that I think they got it just about right.

I don’t think we’re going to see multiple instances like Gruul/Magtheridon, SSC/TK and BT/MH again too soon, though. People complained too loudly at having to run multiple raid locks, although like you, I enjoyed the diversity. No doubt Blizzard’s dungeon design team will evolve their approach further in the future, but for now I think we’re stuck with the one major multi-boss instance and one or two single boss instances model for the time being.

They’re certainly getting a lot better at removing the mindless trash slog from the instances, though. Remember the trash in Molten Core? Ahn’quiraj? Old Naxxramas? Karazhan? Black Temple? Or Mount Hyjal, and entire instance based around the trash, with the bosses almost an afterthought. Contrast that with Ulduar. They’re making big improvements.

6. Any chance of taking out some of the monotonous grind and reinstating some fun in the raids, or even a variety of raids to choose from?

4. Now I understand why you don’t find dwarf females *HOT*, your taste is sick and twisted. You are indeed the Gimp from Pulp Fiction (sicko!!) No wonder your taste doesn’t follow the norm.

5 Oh lord hell yes. They should make Thor do em!! (inside guild-joke), he would love to do it for free, and he would do a scarerely good job at it too. Just listen to him over TS whenever shiny purples drop, the 4 octaves his voice jumps, juuuust about nails it!!
