Quote:Wow ... just wow. I like the change from a game perspective, but it could be very painful getting to that 25.Personally, I think this is a good thing. The smaller dungeons have always been very fun to me. I look forward to more creative, epic fights on a smaller scale. Things like Jin'do, Hakkar, and Ossirian are tons of fun and I think that if the focus becomes to make those smaller instances fun, I think Blizzard will really throw everything they have into the effort. :)
As far as putting together the 25-man runs, I think that there will be groundwork that will need to be laid, but I think once it works itself out, then it should be a much better system than what is currently in the game. This even raises the possibility that the big raiding structures necessary to keep 40-man raids going will be largely unnecessary. Organizing a 25 man raid will be quite a bit less of a hassle than organizing a 40 man raid.
One thing that I think is kind of lame, however, is that they plan to put a timer on the 10-man raid instances. I just don't understand the point of that since it means that you will only be able to do 5-man instances without having to worry about raid locks. Hopefully those raid timers will be relaxed shortly after the expansion comes out to be more in line with how the end-game currently works.
