Niley,

If you'd limited your comments to design concerns, that would have been received well. I happen to agree. Its a straight forward vanilla set of boss fights. That said, expecting something else from an arena-based instance is probably silly.

So, You've cleared instance before and after upgrades eh?
so the end result is identical other than you clearing it 4 minutes faster.
No, the end result isn't identical. I had some encounters that I didn't clear until hitting a certain gear threshold. Also, I had some fights that I'd win 1 out of 2 or 3 tries that after getting geared I one shotted there after.

Just in case you dont remember some of us cleared everything but one instance about 2 or 3 weeks after wotlk was released, and even then when NO ONE had gear it wasn't that hard.
Ss2 was the first one to clear all heroics, within a week of wotlk release iirc.
So, you cleared Oculus 2 or 3 weeks after WotLK in blue/green gear? Old Kingdom was cake then too huh?

Look, if you're that skilled a player then hats off to you. I happen to think you're blowing a bunch of arrogant smoke in this thread. Gear of course makes a difference. The entire game is based on scaling gear to take on the next challenge.
