Raiding in P1999 is nothing like raiding in classic.

To me, there is one thing that can be done that might eliminate a lot of the crying.

Back on live, Epics were released in September, and 6 months later they made them easier to complete by revamping Hate/Fear and making other high priority mobs triggerable.

We are going on month 20 of epics being out, and for many of us we are no closer to having our epics. That is definitely "not classic". Unfortunately, one of the most complex expansions is sandwiched in between these epic events. Velious will be awesome, and definitely worth the wait. But the existence of Velious doesn't have anything to do with Kunark era epics.

If the revamps were done while there is still fine tuning done on Velious, what would it hurt? It would alleviate a lot of the complaining that is done, especially by those classes that has to look at the other classes that can complete their epics.
