    And groups will still need casters, tanks, healers. 100% deathknight groups will not work. It's also highly likely the deathknight was geared with expansion goodies which would push it to be more powerful than anything current 70s would have.

    There will be a huge rush for it at the beginning because it's new and shiny (and will be the only implemented hero class at the time), but I think the numbers will trickle off some as time goes on.

    If they release this within the next year I'm going to be pissed. It would mean all the progression we've been doing up to this point is moot. How many guilds have broken through BT and even SEEN Illidan? Hell they still haven't even opened up the instance in Ghostlands yet, and already they want an expac? If this releases soon (i.e. next 6 months) then running instances is pointless as we'll just get better gear in Northrend as we grind. The only point to playing would be to get your epic flyer and PvPing if that's your thing. I'm more than a little upset about all this, and the possibilities of its release date.

    Deja vu all over again. How many WoW 1.0 guilds made it to Kel'Thuzad's chamber of Naxxramas before BC hit the shelves?

    The only thing raiding progressions nets you is a gear jump start to leveling once the next expansion pack hits. If you're not hitting Hyjal or Black Temple now, expect to never see Illidan unless your guild is bored one afternoon and decides to hit it with a full crew of level 80s for the fun of it.

    Blizz is picking up on the negative community vibe that only the top 5%ers are getting to experience the big lore events restricted to raids, though. They're planning on making Arthas far more prominent and present to the players at large instead of closing him up in Icecrown for only the hardcore raiders to see. Whether or not that effect strengthens or cheapens the experience will have to be seen.

    Welcome to eight months ago. I still have tier 2.5 and 3 pieces molding in my bank from when I found better random greens in Outland during leveling. I dropped out of the hardcore raiding scene in recent months because focusing efforts and breaking your back to progress just aren't worth squat in the long haul. I've since rejoined my former, raid casual guild and found things much more enjoyable. Sure, we're not cutting edge as my last guild was, but the atmosphere is far better when you reduce the pressure of constantly grinding endgame.

    Yeah, that's the point. Who the hell wants to do it all over again just like 8 months ago? It's still too early yet. At least we had a year between AQ and BC, we don't even have that now. Unless you've been raiding since before Naxx you'll most likely never see any of the end game stuff.

    However, on a positive note, someone mentioned the possibility that they're going to move Naxx up to Northrend and tune it for a 25 man level 80 raid. That would be cool.

    Actually, there's a reason the arena rewards are nicknamed "welfare epics".

    Find a buddy for a partner and drop a one-time fee of 80g between the two of you. Play 10 arena matches of 2v2 every week (1 hour time investment max) and bank points whether you win or lose. The epics won't come fast, but they'll come for next to no time investment. ^^

    Zul'Aman (the 10-man instance in Ghostlands) is slotted for patch 2.3 and we'll have a good number of months to get bored of it before WotLK releases.

    yeah, they need to finish the other half of northrend, and fix the first half. as much fun as invisible walls are. the river nyph/dryads were pretty as hell though. (though, slightly topless heh)
