If we were including raid instances, Kara would be at the top with Naxx, Mount Hyjal and Blackwing Lair not far behind, but I'll set them aside here and assume 5 man

Best - Top 5:
1 - Deadmines (can't wait to go to the 80 version in a few weeks time!!!)
2 - Scarlet Monastery Cathedral.
3 - Scholomance
4 - Old Hillsbrad Foothills
5 - Pffft.... no idea which one to put here. None of the others are all that great.

Worst - Top 5
1 - Oculus
2 - Old Kingdom
3 - All of the Trial instances (how dull is it to be stuck in one place?)
4 - Blackrock Depths (always got lost there....)
5 - Upper blackrock spire (always got lost there too....)

That was tougher than I though it would be!

3 - Mount Hyal
4 - Moltencore
5 - Zul Gurub

Worst - Top 5
1 - Oculus (mounted combat bleeehh! I want to play WOW)
2 - TOTC (mounted combat bleeehh! I want to play WOW)

Weeks? Maybe months :-)

1 - Gnomeregan

- Hmm interesting choice

The instance I hate above all currently is definitely: Sunken Temple, I hate running around and around and around.... getting lost all the time!

[Whowantstoknow]

Best - Top 5:
1 Durnholde
2 CoS
3 Gundrak
4 SM Cath
5 Strat

Worst - Top 5
1 - Oculos - its easy just not fun
2 - Steamvaults - do not want to think how many times I ran this to get my Earthwarden
3 - Mechanar - My Cloak just would not drop from the first boss
4 - Sunken Temple - instance I skip. Last time I tried to do this was on my shammy team - nuture immune bosses fail so hard though Ive heard theyve nerfed him
5 -Wailing Caverns - Ive run it hundreds of times and still end up going the wrong way

Im also a big fan of Kara but did not include any raid instances (I recently reran Kara to get Mongoose (dropped first time ) and cleared the place just for fun. I skipped Netherspite and Nightbane (no urn)

Cool thread idea.

1 - Maraudon - Best instance of all time, great design, super fun, lots of bosses, I love it!!
2 - Blackrock depths - Awesome design, love the many different areas, tons of loot
3 - Uldaman - Awesome environment, cool bosses, nice loot
4 - Stratholme - I like the whole scarlet theme, and this is their best instance, have not done culling yet...
5 - Wailing Caverns - Cool looking, fun, nice skinning

Worst - Top 5
1 - Gnomeregan - Too long, annoying, ugly
2 - UBRS - stupid people = hell of a time, drakk is annoying, large pulls
3 - Scholo - long, I hate the last rooms
4 - Shadow Labrynth - everything fears you, annoying bosses
5 - Stockades - Terribly boring, horrible loot

I'll just go with how it related to my boxing experience so far..

Top 5: (including at least 1 from vanilla WoW, BC, Wrath)
- UK. EASY xp runs for early 70's. Good DE's for enchants/gold. Not annoying to box and fun to run.
- MT. Had fun running this one in mid-60's pre-WotLK.
- SM. Who doesn't love this one? Good gear & rewards, great xp, lots of cloth & DE's, and QUICK to run.
- Gnomeregan. I used to *hate* this instance. Until I ran it enough to know it. Good gear & rewards for the level.
- BM. Timed fights showed how strong of a team you had.. fun to run.

Bottom 5: (including at least 1 from vanilla WoW, BC, Wrath)
- AC in Terokkar. Boxing the behold boss SUCKED. The rest of the instance was bland and boring.
- Maraudon. Again, boxing as nature shammies wasn't fun on Princess. Flame shocks & searing totems? Ugh.
- Sunken Temple. Nature immunes everywhere, and not easy to learn the layout at first.
- ToC. Mounted intro is boring. Next to no rep since there's no trash. Not very creative for an instance.
- BFD. Way to damn long with far too much swimming involved. I refuse to run this one.

Top 5:

1. Upper/Lower Blackrock Spire - such an awesome place, especially pre-nerf 15-man
2. Scholomance - actually has variable fights without the stupidity of vehicles
3. Blackrock Depths - Lots to do and very challenging at level
4. Stratholme - So much to do in a relatively short instance
5. Maraudon - So much variety in environments and tactics

Bottom 5:

1. Gnomeregan - blech. the very DEFINITION of too much trash. And non-tauntable mobs suck. Balls. Not to mention trash loot that fills up backpacks far too quickly. /wrists x 10^32
2. Stockades - WHAT camera angle????
3. Any Outland or Northrend instance - BC/WotLK: Revenge of the Gimmicks.
4. Gnomeregan - yes, it deserve to win double-acclamation as the most painful (and painfully monotonous) instance in the entire game. Oh, the pain of actually trying to complete the quests/cards/etc. in there with a 5-box group. Highly painful. Sensing a pattern here?
5. Scholomance pre-nerf. Sure, was fun if you went in there in mad purples but as a fresh 60 with 2.3k HP? Not so much.

- SM. Who doesn't love this one? Good gear & rewards, great xp, lots of cloth & DE's, and QUICK to run.

If you run SM cath with a normal group it`s quite slow as I recall correctly. I haven`t grouped in a normal way with vanilla content in years.

BTW am I the only one who loves gnome?
