Psh..."Hardcore" wow raiders don't hold a candle to EQ raiders..live or emu. Have them go play in VT for 10+ hours straight or PoG and then we can talk about hardcore.

Valid point regardless tho =)

I raided on wow for 6 years and was GM of a raiding guild there during TBC era. So this isnt just wow hate.

uhhh

let me tell you about 400 wipes, over 10k gold spent on repairs, and grinding for 8 hours a day in progression guilds

its the other way around, eq raids (classic or current) cant hold a candle to wow

you havent raided since TBC so i can excuse that i guess but wotlk till current had some of the hardest raids in a game i've played

Hmm, idk. I have spent an insane amount of time raiding on both WoW (live) and EQ (p99).

I'd have to say learning the classic wow raids was a huge time sink for 40 people. We spent 10+hours in MC back when there weren't all these mandatory mods they have now. When most of the bosses weren't well documented and strategies varied greatly.

Going into WoW now is just boring if you aren't pioneering new dungeons/raids.


Raiding on p99, haha, it's a huge time sink because that's what they made it with variance and allowing training in VP. I'm sure that it will be different with the expansion dungeons/raids.

Did you push content? I personally had some of those 10 hour days in AQ/Naxx40 when no one had any idea what to expect, other than getting your shit pushed in.. a lot.

I've also had those everlasting VT raids where you essentially tank n spank everything watching boss hp drop 2% every minute.

Care to guess which of these experiences was more "hardcore"? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
