Subject: Blizzard is only thinking about casuals!
   I hear everyone complaining about the release of more raid content, from AQ to Naxx in the upcoming patches. What concerns me is, this content was supposed to be released along with the game, so they really aren't just making raiding instances, but filling the void in which raid instances were lacking.

If Blizzard completed MC through Naxx in the release, you would see raiders complaining about only casual content being released, when really, they are only completing what was originally stated for the release in the game.

MC, AQ, BWL is the raid content
ZG, AQ20,UBRS is the casual raid
Strat, Scholo, DM, LBRS is the 5-man

I don't think people who are complaining realize that the introduction of new raid content isn't the direction the game is heading into, but was what was originally intended in design, along with the nonraiding/casual instances.

Blizzard wants equal footing in the raid/nonraider/casual arenas, but few give them a chance. I have even read posts from CM's that say all of this, yet people take it with a grain of salt.

So, to turn it around, would raiders complain about only casual/nonraiding content being released if the raiding instances were complete and only instances such as Strat, scholo, and DM were being introduced?

Q u o t e:
Tseric confirmed there will never be epic content for small groups (5-10) yesterday morning.


That means:

No Epic for 10 man wing of Karazhan
No Epic for 10-15 man wings of Illidian's (sp?) instance
No Epic for <Name 10 man instance here>


This is inaccurate and I did not say what it is you think I said. For anyone reading this thread, I would strongly advise ignoring this list of "facts". This has been a very interesting read so far and there is a lot of good dialogue. I also agree this is not a "casual/hardcore" or "raider/non-raider" thread, which I like.


Q u o t e:
Tseric said the latter will never happen.

This community is prone to use absolutes such as "never, always, only, etc.". It is not a practice I follow. Just so we're clear...
Every action has multiple reactions.
