Subject: Re: Questions about the two new raid mobs.
  

Q u o t e:
Curious as to how tough they are supposed to be, should we expect them to help bridge the gap between Onyxia and Ragnaros?


They are approximately on par with Onyxia and easier than Ragnaros.


Q u o t e:
Will either of them act as a stepping-stone prior to Onyxia?


Perhaps. A lot of this depends on your guild composition, raiding style etc... These mobs exist in the public world, however, so for casual raiding guilds, Onyxia will be an easier target for lack of competition.



Q u o t e:
What is going to prevent them both turning into a gankfest much akin to in EQ with folks waking up at 3 AM to see if they've respawned. (I can imagine it'd be worse here due to higher density of level 60's)


The monsters will exist in the public world. What that means is that there will be competition for them. I realize this rubs a lot of players the wrong way. Yet at the same time, we have a strong contigent of players who want this type of competition. We've been careful to try to not target these mobs for any quests or put any set armor on them. Since this is the case, no one will "need" an Azuregos or Kazzak kill to develop their character further in World of Warcraft.


Q u o t e:
Will there be any way to institute a cap on how many you can bring to the respective encounters? Since they are both outdoor can folks just show up with a zerg army and cheese them.


Kazzak has some pretty nasty anti-zerg abilities. Azuregos isn't exactly zerg friendly either... although he's a bit more forgiving.


Q u o t e:
What is going to prevent people from training them all over the outside world (in much the same way Teremus often is).


They are pretty difficult to train.
