WotLK Raid Dungeons: 10 versus 25
Why should the 25 man raids, which are no more difficult, except in terms of logistics, be rewarded BETTER QUALITY of gear as opposed to GREATER QUANTITY of gear?
The 25 person raid dungeons are likely to have more difficult encounters, on top of the logistical aspect, because with more players available there will be more [...]
Raid Lockout in Wrath of the Lich King
So with all the disclosure from the previosu weekend settling in we have a lot of information to sift through. A lot really isn’t debateable and comes across as very self explanatory. It’s the little details now that are going to be scrutinized and with good reason.
Right now pretty much all raid dungeons (with the [...]
WotLK scoop! No plans to add a 40-player dungeon
I don’t know why people keep asking for this. I understand that the nostalgia of hitting a big grand army of 40 people seems so wonderful and truly epic. But as soon as you hit it you’ll lose the desire and remember how fucking terribad it was. Perfect example you can try for yourself. Remember [...]
Was ZA a failure? An example of applied knowledge in future WotLK raids.
I really can’t get a solid stance on this. Frankly I think it was an awesome instance and I love the fact that there is little to no trash, whereas Karazhan and the 25-man dungeons (barring Magtheridon and Gruul) have hours upon hours of trash. I know it’s a pacing mechanic but it’s fucking annoying. [...]
Ask Spoon: Burning Crusade raids in WotLK.
I just got this email a few moments ago and the question couldn’t be better.

Wrath of the Lich King 10-man raids affected by 25-man progression?
It’s a really well placed argument and it deserves a look. This sort of thing was answered partially in the Blizzcast where Kaplan spoke about how Heroic Badges in the expansion are going to be probably (not set in stone) broken down by Tier. So that you will get different badges for the different levels [...]
Wrath of the Lich King is continuing 10-man content.
There’s more to read here than just the statement. Players asked if in WOTLK we will get 10-man content like we did in Burning Crusade. The reality that 10-man content is easier to access than 25-man simply due to the logistics of it is what has made BC raiding so successful. Pretty much anybody can [...]
Raid size in Wrath of the Lich King + long rant on raiding.
Before BC came out we had 40-man raids vanish from the face of the game and were replaced with 25-man content being the new pinnacle of the raid scene. Blizzard is happy with this and intends to follow it through into the expansion.
Q u o t e:
Does this mean that it’s the first 25 man [...]
