FoH shares strats? I remember the conquest MC site a few months ago, have they actually finished more than the first few bosses yet? I was actually let down with MC, aside from Rag (and his many iterations) none of the MC bosses took more than a night to master. I'm glad to see the difficulty of BWL was kicked up a notch. Tho I do believe my guild will have the newest Vael dead on Sat. We've devised a pretty solid strat going in this time I think.

You do know they toned down MC right? It was 10x harder when it first came out but too many guilds were failing at getting anywhere. My guild was doing it during that time period (as well as attempting to do Onyxia) and we put a lot of time into extremely hard encounters. That was back when multiple Onyxia attempts would cause you to fall through the floor / her to reset / etc.

Yes, I do. My guild was running MC thoroughly prior to all the nerfs. At this point, MC is an absolute joke and so far I'm pleased with BWL.

I'm not sure what you mean by thoroughly. I believe, prior to the nerfs, the farthest anyone had made it was roughly to Garr. Most guilds were stuck on the first pull because it was bugged and would bring 3 mobs. Others got stuck at Magmadar back when he was 10x stronger than his weak ass is now. My guild managed to down Magmadar twice before they revised MC. So if by thoroughly, you mean Garr, grats in being in one of the best guilds at the time.

I would say the problem is that the game is mostly greed-based. PvE encounters are not particularly enjoyable in and of themselves because with a good group they are either too easy or with a bad group too frustrating.
PvP in the game is a joke, IMO.
So all that leaves is people grinding the same instances over and over for their blues and purples. Once they have them, there's not much left.

My guild is the 3rd best on the server. After much desicsion i have decided to quit WoW. It took over my life, and requires too much of a time devotion to continue, especially at this point. I definitely want to be WoW-free by the time school starts.
Grades > WoW

Skace, I checked your guild's website and I can tell you we dropped Rag a little over a month before you guys, but that's about all I can say, I have no idea where the other kills lie so I don't know what to say about the patch date relationship to my guild's MC progress. Who knows.

Grinding instances isn't too bad with 40 people doing it at the same time, we can still have fun and it's more of a social outing than grinding. In addition, there's no way you'll have all your top class epics, the way Blizz has things going all your class epics are barely available for you to gain and the only way you could possibly gain them is if you were in a top guild and for some reason they decided to let you have every piece that drops that you needed. Otherwise, you've got quite a bit of work to do before you 'have them.' I can't comment much on PvP, being a Paladin on a PvE server I rarely, rarely, PvP. However, I've started a Priest on a PvP server so I can see how that goes.
Ya, grinding and farming my way through instances was all WOW boiled down to for me as well. I'll be playing again this autumn with my wife (again) and her son and a bunch of his friends. Going horde (furthest we took horde was lvl 20 in the beta) so it should be funOriginally posted by: Balt

Warlocks/Druids are usually the rarest classes in any raid, but their gear has the same chance to drop as any other classes. Since I play a warlock, it was not all that difficult to get all of my felheart set.
You might say "Well now you need to get nemesis from BWL", but I don't feel the same. Nemesis set is weaker, IMO, than Felheart. Nemesis may get reworked but once you realize that the only thing keeping you in the game is your greed for items, it kind of takes the charm out of the game (if it ever had any). I've had a lot of fun with my guildies but honestly the drudgery of the game has just become too much.
If you are still enjoying it then continue to play it, but it doesn't appeal to me anymore.
