High end WoW Content (my journeys in MC and ZG)

[Anarky]

So I've been doing MC and ZG in my guild for the last 2 month on Kil'Jaeden. I have to say this is my 1st lvl 60 in an MMO, and my 1st time every being interested enough to be in a high end guild and do high skill dungeons.

Initially its fun learning a new boss, the accomplishment of downing something you have not done yet. But the novelty wears off after the 1st kill and you realize you have to clear a shit load of trash mobs before you can do that boss again next week with the hops a certain loot table drops, and you have enough time and skill to make it to the next boss. Its not to say I don't have fun doing raids, just today I finally got my 1st Epic off of Magmadar, [NightSlayer Pants], and it was awesome.

Killing Onyxia was cool too....

ZG has been neat because there is a lot of strategy involved in kill a boss in there, much more so than an MC boss.

I don't know how much longer I will play WoW, to be honest its a huge time suck to raid, and it will become usless once the expansion comes out to be honest. And this whole system of, i need tier 0 gear to get tier 1 gear which will help me get tier 2 gear to get PVP gear, not much of an end game, but what more could they really do. I think all MMO's you just hit that wall and there is really no fix to it, and if someone says there is they're just trying to sell you something (more than likely another MMO).

ZG is horrible, we ran that place for the libram enchants and we'll never go back unless people's alts want stuff.

We pretty much disenchant everything in MC now, only go for Rag loot and maybe hopefully a Legendary will drop.

BWL is where it's at, I love this instance, just straight up bosses, and the trash mobs don't come off as a chore. In ZG there's sooooooo much trash, it's just so tedious to have to go through killing all the goddamn garbage to get to the bosses. I really really dislike that instance.

We've had Nefarian on farm status for a while now, honestly can't wait until AQ opens up. I just got 8/8 Wrath last night. ^_^

AQ should be more of the same, in terms of the 40-man will be straight up bosses, and the 20-man will be trash then bosses. Hopefully the 20-man is more enjoyable then ZG was.

what server and guild are you in?

[Oracle]

Im a 60 undead Priest on Stormreaver. I'm not too terribly dedicated to the game. My guild runs MC all the time, and onyxia. I usually miss MC because I work on Saturday's, and I've been far too lazy to get key'd for Onyxia.

[kali o.]

We can clear MC in one easy sitting (or two real small ones) and up to Nef fairly quickly (ya, didn't down Nef yet when I left, but Eric is wussy, easy-mode alliance so fuck him

...but even when the farming is fairly quick and everyone is decked, you get to the point where you inevitably ask yourself "Why the hell am I wasting my time for this shit?".

And that's the problem, no real end game purpose aside from items/rank (all farmable). I think BGs - though a neat idea - hurt WoW significantly (reduced pvp to simple farm-mode).

MMORPGs really need to start eyeing new methods of end game that are dynamic and interactive - not just a farm/grind.

I don't even wanna hear it, with your Blessing of Salvation totems, wtf.

And in 1.10 I heard they'll extend fear ward to you filly unkempt horde as well. Blasphamy!!!!

Well my guild stepped up big time this weekend, mostly because we made more MC days.

We cleared from Shazz to Sulfuron Harbinger in one night, 4 hours

4 new bosses downed in one night. So all we need is more people honored with the water and we are on to Ragnaros, w00t
