Lol I would have to agree with pretty much everything fritter just said actually...I miss 40 mans :(. And yea atelo I'm aware I never tried a single Wrath hard-mode and that ulduar and icc heroic were quite difficult. I think maybe the biggest difference in over-all feel was they polluted the game with epics in wrath. Now that epics are acutually rare or "epic" again and not everyone is wearing them the investment in the raids suddenly feels more worth it again. Also, from what most of the top guilds who did all the wrath heroic content have been saying ie Paragon. This tier of raiding was all in all much more fun and interesting than wrath was.

Another of the big complains I've heard a lot of people have with wrath that I would agree with is there were too few unique raid zones for each tier of gear. Like just naxx at the beginning..and naxx was a *complete* re-use of a previous instance. Meaning 0 originality involved in that instance experience. With cata they came out with 3 different new dungeons all of a similar difficulty, so the progression was much less linear. Idk..I like a lot of the things they did with this x-pac. I will still agree with fritter that I loved vanilla...aq40 sucked..but outside of that it was <3

healing is pretty damned difficult nowadays, but it keeps me awake and i don't have as many..."i'm bored i'll throw my 1k DPS into the mix and /dance as a mini pirate" moments. I also hate everything they've ever done with 10/25 man raids...ever. imo they should bring back 40-mans i never had more fun in this game than doing BWL with 39 other ppl. ok you can throw 10 mans in, but don't put them on the same lockout. as gear gets better people with roflstomp heroics, it's already getting easier. as for lvling too fast, arch too slow, quests sucking, and 2 new races i don't care.

Again Killt, this coming from the guy who never even tried a single hard mode in Wrath and was only around long enough to do a few farm bosses in ICC.

We already had the discussion though. This video was just to show the results of a poll someone did with her subscribers.

I agree with the 10 man only progression now being a viable option being an amazing change. However, I have a question for sant...who are you speak of? Haha off the top of my head all the folks who *hated* warth of the lich king because it was pointless, ceaselessly, and agonizingly boringly easy, all feel that cata is anywhere from considerably less so but still pretty easy..too like well tuned and a good level of challenge/reward in line with bc or vanilla wow. I can't think of any god awful wow players..or as other people trying to be nicer say.."badies"? who bitched about how easy wrath was..I thought they all loved wrath cause they got to pretend like they were good at a video game for once? I could be wrong though. That's just what I remember. All the people like guka, me,..you? who hated wrath seem to love cata from what I've seen...I can't think of anyone I know who thinks cata is hard hahahahaha lolololololololol...who thought wrath was easy at least heh.

To summarize my post, WoW is easy. It has always been easy. Vanilla was the hardest incarnation of this game because of the newness. BC and Cata were both good x-pacs..with a skill level relative to that of wow. Challenging and easy are synonymous words in my world btw. Something is challenging while you are learning it, most fights, even the really good ones, because relatively easy after you have done them once or twice and smooth out all the kinks. Wrath of this game was a game I could never see myself playing. A game must be *at least* difficult enough to separate the people with skill from the people without skill.

My number one cata problem is that after listening to people say wotlk was too ez I now listen to the same people say this is too hard. And they did 10=25s same reason they did 40s-25s, so more people could see the bosses and loot through making the raid easier. I personally fell that is a great addition for this xpac.

Because that matches your dark ebony skin tone?

That's like Atelo claiming the yellow one to match his bubbly, sunshiny disposition.

When they make the 10 = 25 man stick figures in that video, I am the black one. That is all.
