Gear Reset Makes Me Angry...

I just read a post in the WotLK forum where someone mentioned that people are way overgeared for Northrend right now. Northrend is designed for a typical player who just hit 70 to go there and be successful much like the transition from Dun Morogh to Loch Modan.

But WHY!?!

I'll be honest, I've never had a 70. I don't know what it's like to raid. But I feel like I'm missing out on a TON of content because of situations like this. A friend of mine who's running dungeons near 70 says it's near impossible to get someone to go through SH with him. Probably because everyone's already outgeared that dungeon.

Try getting a Dire Maul run together! Unless it's guildies, it's probably not going to happen.

A lot of the dungeons - and especially raids - seem like some of the most fun World of Warcraft has to offer. I dream of being that paladin venturing into Molten Core (which aside from it being an elemental based raid, is as close to Hell as you can get) and standing toe-to-toe with the denizens there. Now, it'll probably never happen. If it does, we'll be 3-manning it at 80 and it'll be a hoe-hum thing that we're just doing for fun.

I really feel like Blizzard is letting me and all of the other people who are playing this game for the first time down. What we need is tough love - not level 30 mounts and double experience from 30-60. If we don't have the Lawbringer set, the we can't get the Judgement Set. If we can't get Redemption, then we shouldn't be attempting Kara.

Glass ceilings are a good thing in my opinion. That's what makes achievements great. If I can just install WotLK and basically buy some off-the-shelf greys from Northrend and then go tank Molten Core, then how am I going to look at someone wearing Lawbringer and respect that?

I can understand WHY Blizzard does it, but I feel cheated. The way they're rehashing Naxxramus, it sounds like their dungeon designers feel cheated too.

People outgear the expansion at the moment likely because they are using raiding gear. One of the complaints from the last expansion was we all had these endgame epics that were replaced by Level 61 greens. This time around Blizzard is letting those epics hold up a lot longer and from what I've seen the really strong T6 level loot is comparable to Blues at level 78. As a person new to 70 though, I think you'll find there's a rather seamless transition from 70 to 71.

I can tell you that the start of the last expansion was literally the most fun I've ever had in WoW. I don't know exactly how it'll pan out this time around, but if it's even half as fun as last time, I wouldn't miss it

Imagine they tuned lvl 70 istances to a full T6 character.

Now imagine to roll a alt and be a neo-70 and being literally OWNED by any mob because you are in tier shit.

You see what i did here?

I see what you've done! You've created a world where people would need to run Naxxramas to prepare to go to 70 dungeons! Good on you! Now people would be running BWL and MC to get the gear to do Naxx. This is awesome. Alts are running through all these dungeons together (or with their level 80 T10 bretheren). The gameplay experience - albeit longer - is bettered by the fact that we get to experience all the dungeons that Blizzard designed for us rather than power leveling to 70 and jumping straight into Kara.

People these days have no idea what Vaelestrasz is, or Nefarian itself.

There would be literally no point for them to retune old instances, theyre doing it with naxx because de facto it is their best work with the exception of sunwell everything fades in comparison to naxxs difficulty level... can i see you dance to heigan

Its sad, but who cares, old instances were boring anyways, they required literally nothing but brute force and a threat meter.

Im happy naxx is back, but i cant await the amount of awesomeness wotlk is going to bring to the table, with Sunwell blizzard has shown that they can be creative while pushing people to the limit.

Trust me, Molten Core is nothing special. It was a speedbump designed to slow raiders down whilst they designed the real raid content.

There was only one boss which was actually fun in MC and that was Geddon. I so loved killing our GM.
