Its not really, however, as an example of current risk, since sanctum has been instancing this zone is no longer devoid of all mobs when you enter, esp if you go into a new instance of it. Your group fights through the 100s of mobs in rooms just to get down to pools, or trials, or the diviners room even. Once down there, you all wipe, and have to start all over again. Id say a crawl like that is risk, you want to stay alive / have someone with FD ready so you dont wipe and have to start over since it takes almost an hour to clear the rooms leading up to one of the aforementioned rooms. Sure you can rush through and try invis and other things but all in all its a hassle to get back down to the "big" mobs. The risk inlies with staying alive while being at a location that is not easily accessable. Id say thats good for now, even with the fact that my bruiser taunts suck and if im ma, no one else has fd, id better hold aggro or at least not die b/c if the group wipes we start all over. Also, it sucks having these mobs plow through the paper armor members of the group in 2 seconds, which isnt enough time to quickly target and hit a taunt or even rescue when its up sometimes. Can't even count the number of times the necro died last time, usually its the conjuerer who gets eaten after the pet goes right after the stupid pet steals aggro from me.
I am sorry but all those words lead to that your definition of risk is simply "not being succesfull" or "wasting your time"
Risk should involve loosing something not just being denied success!
or to leave it to the guys from Saturday Night live:
Fighter: Hey dude, lets try one of the new instances of KoSHealer: No way, man! I tried some of KoS last weekend and guess what? I wasted my time 4 times in a row.Fighter: 4 times in a row? Dude, that must have hurt!Healer. Yeah, man. to think i farmed for half a day and than I get my watch handed by that &%$§"! named 4 times. and it wasn't only me. 4 complete group-wastes.Fighter: So what did you do then?Healer: Farmed greens for the rest of the weekend to make up for the lost time. i guess my char isn't for KoS yet. maybe next weekend when I am not under the constant threat of wasting time again, I cant afford more loss right now.
