I mentioned that people on my server 10 Man Onyxia regularly. It's entirely possible that after next expansion Naxx will be easy enough to 10 man and we'll see people start fooling around with that too. Right now it's in this area where it's too difficult to fool around and yields little. If it becomes casual enough maybe people will have interest and you'll be able to do it with people.

Now...you may feel that the level 60 old world raid content is useless and a point could be made for that. But the rest of the world is just as vibrant and useful as it was the very first day you started your very first character. You may be sick of it, you may have seen it all too many times, but that in no way diminishes its usefulness.

Going out on a limb here, but maybe he is refering to MC BWL AQ and Naxx (maybe not so much Naxx anymore because of WotLK)

Fuck MC and BWL, why would anyone wanna go back there? Nef was a fun encounter, but I think anyone who wanted to see it has.

Read the second paragraph Dis, or more accurately the first sentence of the second paragraph.

BWL was awesome wtf.

5 manning Onyxia, how easy is it? Doing it at 60 was pretty rough but I haven't tried at 70. Couple of us re-rolled on a new server so aren't attuned and we were thinking about doing it.

No I read it, I am just saying. I dont agree or disagree with the statement, because my gripe has more to do with other things than that. I dont really care about old world content, I have seen it all (too many times to be honest). Just trying to pull something out from his point of "old world content is useless", which obviously it does since it allows you to get to "new world content".

It's pretty easy. Obviously phase 2 becomes a non-issue and with the aggro tools we have now that's alot easier too. Stage 3 can still be a pain if she goes overboard on the fears, but overall not too difficult. Next patch I assume that won't be a concern anymore.

If you get a character and immediately run from Elwynn forest to Hellfire penninsula, you're not running through 2 months of leveling, you're going through 2 years of lore. If you run back and kill Van Cleef again as a level 70, you're essentially going back in time in the story. So azeroth being relatively deserted except for those people leveling through it actually seems like intentional design to me. At the moment, everyone is supposed to be in outlands, because that's where the latest story elements are happening.

Personal character progression is one of the most important elements in the game. Infact, it's the single largest deciding factor on whether a person quits a week in or keeps going till they have nothing left. You can do that with just gear upgrades but we all know where that leads us. To impossible progression for newcomers. That's why the level progression and "gear restarts" are necessary.

I don't know why people still post in this thread. This dude ended it last week.

Oops, guess I was the first post in a couple days. =(
