A very sad post. I plan on 10 boxing all the old content all the way up to Wotlk and I believe that will be quite enjoyable, but I do have to agree with most of you here.

I leveled up an 85 Warlock when the cata expansion was released and while the first run of quests were fun, I couldn't imagine doing all of them over and over again to get my other toons leveled up. I ran my lock through some of the normal random dungeons and the expansion seemed promising. When i got to 85 and started running heroics it was just ritarded, the amount of time i had to put in to get a very small upgrade wasn't worth it. I tried to do my daily random for a couple of weeks and just got tired of the 45 minute queue times for dps and when i finally did get a dungeon most of the pugs would wipe 5-6x on every encounter or just give up which was a total waist of my time. I'm not saying that the heroics are too difficult but I am saying that most of the heroics don't give adequate rewards for as difficult as they are. Even in coordinated guild groups we still have trouble getting through some of the encounters and most of the guildies out-gear the instance quite a bit (wearing faction and crafted epics). If the heroic instances are going to be this difficult then they need to make the drops worthwhile, upgrading my gear from 333-346 doesn't suffice. I don't think I will be playing my 85 warlock anymore, it's more of a chore to log on and do my random. I will continue to 10 box my toons up until Ice Crown Citadel and then we'll see what happens next.

I don't see how multiboxing the cata heroics would even be enjoyable, I didn't have fun playing one character through it much less 5.
