This multiple raid thing is absolutely fabulous.
I remember very well having lots of fun running Naxx solo figuring bosses out and anticipating Ulduar. Then Ulduar comes out and the first boss isn't a boss - it is some terribad vehicle-based thing where none of the skills and abilities you have developed over the past three years of playing WoW meant anything. Not a single ability out of your spellbook was used. And this was before they allowed vehicle follow, making it nigh-impossible to solo. Why did they have to make this the very frist boss and make him unskippable? Totally blocked me from doing anything in that massive raid instance and a whole tier of raid content was made unavailable. It really sucked and soured me on the game.
With three raids instead of one we will be protected against the consequences of being blocked by gimicky bosses to a large extent. I don't expect to be able to do all the bosses in all three raids solo, but this will at least give us three paths to start from.

How many times did we wipe on Sarufang before we figured it out?
Oh, then how many times on Rotface?
And Putricide?
And the Blood Princes handing us our asses?
And then the Blood Queen wiping our faces across the floor?
Ya, there was no "the gated wings are holding us back" dude. That's bullshit and you know it. There were HARD gearchecks and strategy checks. Just because you can destroy the place now doesn't mean you could even come close when you first zoned in.

Lag? Do you remember all that lag? Don't try to say you don't remember the lag. How many times did we call the raids early due to lag? The lag won't be there come Cataclysm. 400 guilds won't be in the same instance at the same time. We only raided 2 days a week as well and seeing as you've been gone for awhile and don't realize we're looking to do 3 days a week come Cataclysm, which would only mean we'd clear shit faster.
Never once did I say week 1 of raiding we'll be walking through 18 bosses and 3 instances. Don't you think they're going to be geared in tiers? So when we finish the first 6 boss instance [Naxx], the next 6 boss instance [Ulduar], and we have the third 6 boss instance on farm [ToC], we'll be farming only 6 bosses. When ToC was on farm [all 5 awesome bosses] it took less than an hour to clear...and then what the fuck did we do?
I don't think they will be geared in Tiers.
The xpac is shipping with 3 raids. W/ a Max of 6 bosses per. Who knows how many they will add in the next major content patch. I thought you were one of the advocates for waiting to see what Cata brings.. not just automatically hating it without seeing it.
I am, and your point would be? I could give a shit what Cataclysm brings, I'll still be playing regardless and adapt just like everyone else. Where am I hating about anything in my last post? We've been raiding for how long together? Do you not know my tone and sarcasm by now? It seems unless I plaster my posts with smiley faces everyone decides to take it as me being a dick. When I quote your post it'll be a reply to you, my reply to Fur had nothing to do with you.
Ouch. Someones a little jumpy. Pardon me. I forgot whenever I talk to you, you're on the rag.
I should add, the bolded was important because I figured by now you'd understand the way I am. Guess not. The hating was actually from your first post in the thread, but whatever. Be a bitch.
