deadhorn said it best. it's not about the fucking items that drop (even though brd's was great). it's about immersion and the experience of, gasp, fighting through an environment that feels like a living, breathing place, in this case a gigantic, epic sprawling CITY built into the depths of a mountain. badass. epic. awesome.

vs. tbc instances, which are total complete garbage. there is no redeeming value in ANY of them, ANY. i used to love warcraft lore, but it's been flushed so far down the toilet that metzen's holy plunger won't be able to save the day. what the fuck is auchidoun, a giant stadium full of birdmen, naaru, and profit-seeking aliens? what honest hell is the temp keep dungeons, giant robots and blood elves, with a giant tree druid to boot? okay.

tbc could have been epic. could have been. but it's fucking stupid. end of story. it's an insult to the original wow design and should be packaged and shot to the moon where it and luclin can die with a whimper.

if wotlk doesn't return to the vanilla roots and have massive, sprawling, EPIC dungeons fit for the lore that is the lich king, if it's a giant stadium with different fucking wings for undead, warlocks, lions, tigers, and bears, then fuck you blizzard devs, and woe be to wow.
