It's a game.Coreushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258450322199352185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-66189650553835796162010-11-11T16:27:49.287-06:002010-11-11T16:27:49.287-06:00I actually wrote a post about how I liked ICC and ...I actually wrote a post about how I liked ICC and its difficulty about a month after it came out - except for Festergut and Blood Queen, which originally felt like they were purely designed to drive healers insane. I do think our view of ICC is largely tainted by how long it's been out by now. I mean, after nearly a year and a thirty percent buff there's this constant feeling that you've already done this a hundred times and that you should be able to do better than you are. It's like a tv series that starts out well but then gets dragged out way beyond its natural ending...<br /><br />Oh, and I wasn't impressed with Arthas either. The fight has some interesting and challenging mechanics, but Tirion stealing the limelight at the end sucked in my opinion.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-17905263756018960692010-11-11T13:44:13.295-06:002010-11-11T13:44:13.295-06:00Dariela, I used to think that.

But I had fun in vanilla raids and BC raids and even LK raids (though obviously that quickly wore off). And in the new mystery raid I'm having fun. So there must have been something else, something which looked like a dislike of raiding, but wasn't.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-90511014136464499202010-11-11T13:22:48.975-06:002010-11-11T13:22:48.975-06:00Raiding with PUGs is really PvP in disguise.Raiding with PUGs is really PvP in disguise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-43375399229535514062010-11-11T13:15:36.295-06:002010-11-11T13:15:36.295-06:00It seems fairly obvious the problem is you don'...It seems fairly obvious the problem is you don't like raiding. You may want to like raiding, but you simply don't.<br /><br />Maybe you are simply burnt out on raiding, or the social atmosphere of you raiding party has changed, but your emotions aren't caused by the raids themselves. They are caused by you doing something you don't have the desire to be doing deep down inside.Darielanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-47684477794711888292010-11-11T13:12:43.564-06:002010-11-11T13:12:43.564-06:00@Rorran: I like Ulduar.

Maybe the circumstances have not been as 'good' in WotLK as they have been in TBC or classic?<br /><br />A related question: How could Molten Core as a frost mage possibly have been fun? I have been pressing exactly one button for several hours and, ignoring the 20th+ run, it was a hell of a lot of fun ?!?!Nilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06468755466492675831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-13019290350331612902010-11-11T07:40:23.962-06:002010-11-11T07:40:23.962-06:00Klep- try as one may to define "fun and inter...Klep- try as one may to define "fun and interesting," it's still subjective.
