I'm not going to argue my point anymore. I will be moving on in 5.0.
Bolty mentioned something, and while this is slightly OT, I felt the need to post it. From a personal perspective, I have hated the tiers where the number of bosses <10, or the number of raid zones <2, and feel that the "amount" of content in T12 is a problem. Quality is good from what I have seen, but the quantity is a serious problem.
When I first joined Terenas Lurkers we were working in T5 content. We had Vashj and Kael to go, we were 3/5 or 4/5 in Hyjal, and 2/9 in BT. We had enough content to send a night somewhere and work on something, and not interfere with other raid nights. That worked great for the rest of TBC that I was here for.
IN T7, we had plenty of things to do. Naxx, Wings inside Naxx, OS, Maly.
In T8, we had plenty of things to do. Hard Modes, plenty of bosses.
In T9.... We struggled with finding content to fill our desires. We weren't able to get heroic 10m content completely down, so we were bouncing around wildly in that tier working on hard modes, in uld, and killing ToC, and using alts.
T10 worked pretty well for the most part.
T11 worked well.
T12. We are back to having scheduling problems.
T13. I can forsee scheduling problems again, but that is as much to do with its perceived linear nature as it is the lack of bosses.
This problem is probably limited to very few guilds, and I accept that. I accept that our scheduling, and rostering, and allowances towards limited play time present us with challenges that most guilds probably don't have to work through.
The problems with the smaller number of bosses seems to be the real detriment to Lurkers. 1 raid zone isn't too bad if there is a large enough number of bosses, but the 5, 6, 7, or 8 bosses just leaves our raiding style in a tough spot.
As far as MoP is concerned, the only thing that even remotely interests me at all is the challenge raidsDungeons. Not Pandas. Not Monks. Not Pokemon. Definitely not the return to the Horde V Alliance war. Not the lack of a "big bad guy". Not the new "talents". Not the new zones. Which is sad, because I'm in love with all things fuedal / ancient Asia themed.
The game feels more like it was aimed at enticing my 8 year old to play, and not me.
