My guild took 2 months to figure out how to down the first boss of BWL (even after reading all the strats online). That's 2 months of 40 people coming to the instance week after week knowing that they will probably wipe a bunch of times each night, getting no loot or gold in the process and having to spend their own gold on repairs (which can be quite substantial). That kind of dedication defines a "hardcore" player, and I think deserves epic rewards.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833191981561931501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-1142520598295622822006-03-16T06:49:00.000-08:002006-03-16T06:49:00.000-08:00Honestly I think Molten Bore is a badly designed i...Honestly I think Molten Bore is a badly designed instance. Each class just spams something. Healers spam heals, pallys spam cleanse, mages spam frostbolt, warriors spam sunder armor, etc. Each role is so specific that it gets really boring imo.<BR/><BR/>However I think coordinated teamwork is what sets 40 man raids apart. Getting 40 people to work together isn't something comes right away without practice. Everybody has to be willing to do their specific role for it to work. Maybe that was Bliz's intent, I don't know.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833191981561931501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-1142365912354993692006-03-14T11:51:00.000-08:002006-03-14T11:51:00.000-08:00l'emmerdeur: One of my points in a previous post ...l'emmerdeur: One of my points in a previous post (and hopefully to be expanded on later) is that raiding is easier and more accessible to casual players than they think. I believe that it is possible for Blizzard to raise that 30% number higher, even to a point where the great majority of 60s can raid.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-1142348236312172982006-03-14T06:57:00.000-08:002006-03-14T06:57:00.000-08:00Who is paying Blizzard's bills, though?<A HREF="http://blogs.parc.com/playon/archives/2006/03/raid_content_us.html" REL="nofollow">Who is paying Blizzard's bills, though</A>?L'Emmerdeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004040303058104490noreply@blogger.com
