Good post, all of the 1.0's were straight bitches, Vaelastraz was always a bitch because of the "DT" he had and over zealous casters.

I still think S3D 10 pre-ulduar was one of the hardest encounters Ive done to date on any game. I made it "somewhat" easy as an elemental shaman tho, I could heal in the portal and leave our healer(s) outside for the tanks

in most of the cases I listed it was the nature of the encounter rather (extensive transitioning, one person's mistake will wipe) rather than the sheer DPSfest that made them challenging. (Altho oh dear god Brutallus...)

Caster tanking introduced in BC was sooooooooo twitchy. I had to do Capernian, Leotheras, and probably something else I am forgetting right now. Man it was so bad on transitions.

mage tank in Gruuls? but that was mainly killed by casters anyway so wasnt so bad.

Fuck vaelstraz. that fight was a PITA. twin emps and cthun kinda sucked too. Twin emps not so much after your raid got execution down.

oh the actual arthas fight aint too bad either.

My guild killed Twin emps on night 2 of attempts, was probably one of the quickest kills I know of once starting attemps. The other "powerhouse" guild on our server that was alliance(I was horde) took 3 nights to learn the trash from the wasp(wtf was her name) to twin emps lol.

Yea Cthun was an awesome fight as well, we went from just practicing the encounter to beating it near flawless, was awesome, I have it recorded somewhere. Need to find that again.

I was the pvp guildleader of Myth on Burning Legion. I played from beta through a couple months of Burning Crusade. On average, everyone was stupid or bad, or a combination of both. No one could follow instructions. No one could read; they required a headset. The content was easy. NPCs were tethered. Leveling was easy. The detriment of being a poor player wasn't severe enough.

With all the hatred out of the way, the first 6-8 months were pretty awesome. Unbalanced pvp and good times with leetspeak. Taurens bashing skulls in Southshore with Arcanite Reapers. That changed. Then I had some fun fighting pvp gold farmers. That was fun for a while. Original battlegrounds were fun. I relate this mostly to a new style of mmorpg, more than WoW itself being fun.

Expansion and arenas and balancing made it no fun for me. Hooray for 1gp for 17¢ though. At least you can come out with more than you put in.

Sadly, its one of the only games I left because I was tired of it.. not because there was something better.

Southshore/Tarren Mills fights were the best, BGs ruined that =(

I loved rolling in with a windfurry Arcanite Reaper and 1 shotting casters then trying to get out of the mass of people alive after doing so.

I'm on a long break from WoW, not because I think it's a terrible game - it really isn't.

I'm looking forward to Cataclysm.

BL represent!

I quit for a lot of the reasons listed already. Gear reset is ridiculous. Cookie cutter gameplay with epics handed out for free. You were 'leet' if you looked like the character next to you. Meaning you had 80% of the population thinking they were awesome and walking around with an elitist attitude, lol.

The polish of WoW is amazing and a lot of the raid encounters were very original. But the base of the game is terrible. You're either max level and "raiding"/arena, or you're not playing WoW. The only other aspect to WoW (other than cybering/being a dbag) was twinking, and they've done a lot to ruin that too.
