its funny how reikers description more accurately represents dungeons than raiding

you know, the things designed just for leveling and getting starting gear at 90.

That's because the game has been the same fucking thing for years. Dungeons, high end raids, same "don't stand in the glowing circle of death" bullshit. They have to keep the game dumbed down with flashing arrows telling you where to run so they don't alienate their down syndrome playerbase.

Although I haven't played WoW in a long time so maybe it got better somehow. I just assumed not since everyone yells about how classic WoW was the best. Apparently classic WoW was the best period, yet current raids are the best. Which is completely nonsensical but it's not surprising considering the average IQ of WoW fanboys.

Lol @ complex raid encounters. WoW's idea of complex raid encounters were "don't stand in the giant glowing circle" or "run away from the badass murder mob." And if you're too fucking stupid to accomplish such complicated mechanics, you can download an add-on that holds your hand and tells you exactly where you need to be and what to do at all times.

WoW is complex is you're a fucking idiot. Or blind. I was deep into psychedelics back when I played WoW, I was tripping my face off 95% of the time I played and I was one of the top rogues in my raid guild.

BT wasn't so bad. Sunwell pre 3.0 was a fucking nightmare. M'uru / Felmyst were cut-your-dick-off territory. Could never seem to get them on farm status. Sometimes we'd get them in 1 attempt but usually it was closer to 4-5 attempts each goddamn week until 3.0. Still, fun ass encounters.

Illidan was pretty tough for tanks to learn + resist gear requirements.

Sunwell was just OMG hard pre-nerf, max consumables all the time. Obvi had to have good tank / healer but one slack dps and you had no chance on most bossss. One tank mishap or healer missing was death. Honestly I give wow a lot of shit and can't stand it now but cutting edge bc raiding was a lot of fun / challenging.

Vanilla AQ and naxx pretty tough too but never did that when it mattered. Time investment in vanilla/bc wow was less but actual difficulty was harder IMO.

*edit: archimonde good for some good guild drama/luls when someone died and screwed raid with a crater. Haha

Our problem was DPS primarily. We weren't the kind of guild to rotate comp based on encounters and if you brought 2 mages to your 25 man during sunwell era you had a far lower chance of making the timers [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

sunwell was the place that they nerfed like a month after they added it cause everyone cried they couldn't kill stuff in it right

Yeah but I think it was more like 8-10 weeks before the nerf hit. Don't remember the exact timeline but it was nerfed right before wrath of the lazy whiners.

Just described nearly every hard WoW raid encounter in TBC and later.

Saying pvp games are hard is like saying checkers is hard.
