    Hey, that's pretty retarded right there, Dis. Maybe you should travel back in time and tell your father not to have sex with his sister who is also your mother, perhaps then you could stop yourself from saying stupid shit like that.

    Sorry your arguement fail.
    Becos for DPS and Healers, it takes as much skill doing a 5 man instance as with doing a raid.
    Esp for Healers who just stand behind and spam heals.

    I wouldn't say that raiding is ever especially challenging in terms of player ability, especially when compared to the grand scheme of video games in general. That said, most of my raiding was done in MC, so that's obviously colored some of my perceptions. Still, I wouldn't call anything I did in Naxx (cleared three wings with my guild, twice, before I lost interest in raiding) particularly challenging, you just need to know your rotations, know what the boss can do, and be paying attention. That said, if your DPS or your Healers or your Tank, or more than one or two people in your raid are terrible fights can become very hard to beat or impossible.

    To me WoW has doesn't have a very high skill ceiling, but has an amazingly low skill floor in many aspects of the game. (ie, to be as good as you can be isn't that hard, but, in a lot of aspects of the game you can get away with being quite terrible and make decent progress).

    Of course, I also PvP mainly and that makes me biased as well.

    After BC raiding is pretty much easy mode now as we all know.

    And grats showing your retarded attitude.

    (Thank you for the infraction for pointing out others retarded attitude instead of making personal attacks.)

    You can't call most of what happens in Naxx raiding.

    There's a reason why this season is still on track to see more gladiators than Alone in the Darkness. There's also a reason why so many of the people in a position to get gladiator are also in a position to get Alone in the Darkness.

    I can't really argue with you, as I have to concede ignorance on the matter of Ulduar raiding. Though, I have to wonder if it is a matter of time and gear that is preventing people from getting alone in the darkness, and if it is indeed a matter of skill, I must inquire as to what makes Ulduar so much more challenging than previous raids, as this intrigues me.

    Especially in Yogg+0's case, there are a lot of mechanics in the fight meant to overwhelm a group if they are not all performing exceptionally. In Naxx you could easily do most of the fights understaffed and only ever had to contend with enrage timers, but that's the least of your problems in a lot of Ulduar fights.

    Well, maybe I'll give raiding another look once I get my new horde main leveled and geared up for PvP. I sort of wrote raiding off as a bore because of Naxx but, I trust you guys and what you guys are saying sounds interesting enough to check out.

    In Naxx, there were very few fights that combined heavy movement/situational awareness with a high DPS requirement. and those that did, did so in a very simple manner. Thaddius, for example. All you had to do was move a little from place to place based on a buff you had, and people had trouble with that.

    Every fight in Ulduar has movement, and the more difficult ones combine other things with it.

    The only people with skill are Tanks who have to memorize all the boss fight tanking patterns.

    Except for the part where everyone has to remember boss encounters because there's this thing called "AoE" that can fuck everyone. Or other special events not common to "tank & spank." Shit, I have probably the least raiding experience among everyone here (I ran ZG a bunch of times, and I did Kara once!) and I know this.

    Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying it takes a grand amount of skill and only the best of the best get things done. People waste time arguing about WoW being a game of skill or not anyway.

    It's a game of attentiveness.

    Either that or they've just gone balls to the wall insane with the amount of stuff in Icecrown so it fill the gap until the next expansion without any raids afterwards.

    So it will be Black Temple with Sunwell built in.

    I don't get where you find the reasoning for that statement.

    Why would the entire focus of the expansion be the Lich King if you don't get to fight him in the expansion?

    Plus you completely misinterpreted the post you quoted.

    I hope you don't actually kill Arthas, just drive him back for the time being. He's too great to be wiped out like some little bitch. He should be the Final Fantasy boss of WoW. No matter how many times you think you've killed him, he shows up to fuck your shit up later. Yes, I'm looking at you Seymour!

He should prepetually be in the corner of everyones screen in Northrend, hiding behind bushes and shit. Oh! A mining node! Nope Arthas wants to be raided first!

    He's probably counting normal / hard as two seperate bosses.

    I mean...31 boss fights would be a huge fucking patch.

    He said that ToC raid had 5 bosses in the same post, that's what I'm using as a barometer.
