Funny, I hope it'll be a raid zone w/a difficulty progression much like the Shard of Hate (ie. like the TSO raid zones, each mob is progressively difficult rather then a setup like VP where each is relatively the same difficulty). SoH is an awesome zone, w/ great loot, and interesting encounters, well once you get past Sisters they're interesting anyway. My ONLY complaint about SoH is that you never find out why, or how the Shard broke off from the main Plane, and how Inny feels about it, and why he hasn't reeled it back in so to speak.

You mean how VP was a complete waste of a raid zone? It wasn't even a good idea or a novel concept, it's just a wasted space. How about they actually make real raid progressions for once? You know, how you do a zone and then move to the next, and then after you complete the second you move on to the third, which maybe there's like two raid zones for the third tier! and then you know, do an even harder tier of zones, not just bosses. The entire freaking zone is harder than the last tiers' boss mobs.

I know it's such a hard concept for them to wrap their heads around, but I still have faith maybe they won't completely flub an entire expansion's raid progression for the third time in a row. Also the concept of trash being, trash...

WTB NOT CLEARING TRASH FOR 3 HOURS TO GET TO AN HOUR OF NAMED CONTENT, PRE FIRST-KILLS. HEREGO THREE HOURS OF CLEARING TRASH FOR 20 MINUTES OF NAMED KILLING THE NEXT RUN. FFS, did people forget what trash is? It shouldn't even be a chance to parse because the mobs should go down within 30 seconds, every tier. Trash was always meant to be an annoyance, but moreso stuff you had to clear to make sure it was down and wouldn't aggro your named pull. Never were trash mobs in raid content meant to be sought after for any reason other than getting them out of the way, certainly not for loot (SoH... die in a fire plskthx).

Get rid of easy mode 2010!
