Oh god, the "casual vs hardcore" debates.

"I HAVE PUT SO MUCH *WORK* INTO THIS *GAME* AND NOW YOU'RE MAKING IT EASIER FOR *THOSE PEOPLE*." For srs, if you're putting 'work' into a game, you need to chill and maybe take a break.

Now, I'll cop to a certain amount of cane-shaking over earlier mounts, and no more Epic Dire Maul Runs of Doom for warlock mounts, and the fact they've made it easier, and no more corpse hopping runs to Menethil after you're done in Loch Modan, but ... I can only complain so much, since I got my mage to BC content in about 2 days, if that.

Plus, all the elitist assholes can just go WE'LL ONLY TAKE YOU IF YOU HAVE A GEAR SCORE OVER ELEVENTY BAJILLION AND KNOW EVERY SINGLE FIGHT EVER SO STEP OFF NOOB.

I think some people take WoW as serious as a job. I'm really kind of over it. The 'if you have one negative thing to say you're a bad player' bit ( ... )

I noticed they had to publish an article about "yes, dungeons are hard now. Yes, you actually have to know strategies. QUIT WHINING."

They kind of brought it on themselves making WotLK stupidly easy, IMO. I was helping Will with some quests the other day, and I was like, "... I soloed these on my DK, you know" and then thought about it and was like, "Yeah, I shouldn't have been able to solo these, WTH."

I've been so busy questing that the only dungeon I've been to is the Stonecore, three times. I really do need to get some more of those done and get some gear.

I read that entire thing. I didn't like Ghostcrawler's attitude at all. I liked even less the attitude of most of the responders. Ergh.

It was easy. I can remember thinking that it wasn't, at least certain parts of it. Like in Utgarde Keep, I used to think that it was the hardest thing ever to heal, the last boss, because my dumb ass couldn't grasp that I need to move my butt behind a pillar. And oh God, Instructor Razuvious and coordination fights.

It helped that you played a DK. I couldn't solo much unless I was on my warlock or hunter with a tanking pet.

I don't like any of them. And the final boss in the Lost City of the Tol'vir, Siamat, makes me cry. I don't think you're missing anything except gear and aggravation.
