The difficulty of the fights was nothing compared to the mechanics of raiding in WoW today. The worst thing we had to worry about was cleansing quick enough, and moving out of fire in the right direction. I was the leader of two guilds on separate servers that got server first kills on all Molten Core, Black Wing Lair, Onyxia, and AQ 40 bosses. I was an officer in a third. Suffice it to say I have too much experience with 40-man raids. The thought of doing any of that again nauseates me. Raids would go on for 5-6 hours a night, 5+ nights a week and sometimes more if we felt pressed to get the server first. Raiding in WoW was my full time job. There wasn’t time to do much else, and eating happened at the keyboard every meal. I am embarrassed by it, not proud.
The topic of 40-man raids came up on our gaming community forums the other day when someone mentioned that WildStar might be trying to attract the ‘vanilla’ WoW crowd. Everything I’ve seen from Wildstar screams accessibility, and everything I know about vanilla WoW the opposite.
