I have now changed my stance from BLAH! to cautiously optimistic. If they make some of the old instances really worth going through again (with no raid locks) it may very well be worth while.

This is a fluff piece.

For the first time in 3 expansion-y things, my dread has gone over 10, if you know what I'm saying.

ah, spin doctorage. Here is what it really says:

"hey, we are too busy/lazy/cheap to make anything new, so we doctored the stuff that you haven't botherd to do in a year or more a little bit in hopes it will tide you over until we feel like working again".

Not that it won't be fun; wow did this too when they realized their old junk was not being played. Its a neat trick. But I still want to see new stuff once in a while, this is horrible because, rather than do all the instances and spread it around, it will turn into a balrog fest because all anyone ever wants to do of the old school stuff is the balrog, which was boring and tired 2 years go and has not noticably improved.

I don't know, I think on level Helegrod and Annuminas would be a lot of fun. The reason people do Balrog so much now over other instances, I think, is because you don't need 24 like you do in Helegrod, and its nostalgic, where a lot of people didn't really bother with Annuminas, which is only 6-man anyway. It's a good way to get 12 people together and just do something fun without having to be totally worried about death all the time. Ooohh GA and Fornost on level! Insane!

I don't see how the piece is fluff or doctoring. It seemed pretty factual to me. Now if you dont like what they are offering thats one thing, but I don't think they are trying to purposefully trick anyone or promising something more than what is stated.

While I am also a little upset they are not adding new raiding content, I'm still pleased to hear they are making the old ones scaleable. Mainly because I haven't truly enjoyed raiding since the SoA days. And do you really think DN and BG are that fun or enjoyable? They look crappy - are crappy - and laggy beyond belief.

Annuminas and Rift ftw!

I actually like DN, except for the trash. Rift was a good raid, but DN was too. Helegrod is way too long, trashy, and easy. Part of their scaling better include adding some new mechanics, because a giant with adds and sometimes random aggro hardly deserves to be a boss of an instance, much less a raid instance.
