[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 5576990, member: 56189"] I remember. I remember logging on in the first hour of Wrath and breezing through the quests without anyone's assistance and getting to 80th and then breezing through dungeons with no CC (and no prior knowledge of the dungeons). I then remember breezing through the heroic versions and then breezing through the raids. And I remember PUG'ing it all because I was in-between guilds after my friend's guild broke up (they went to a PVP server and I loathe PVP servers). I remember logging on in the first hour of TBC and going, "Holy goddamn, that thing hit like a truck!" But my awesomely geared rouge persevered and hacked his way through content with the aid of friends and compatriots in arms. It wasn't easy. It wasn't pretty. But it got done. And then dungeons. ACK! Wipe after wipe after wipe. But finally I was geared enough to latch on to the upper echelons of heroic dungeons! Annnnnnd wipefest repeat. I just had to hint at the letters "SH" to cause fear and dread in my guildies and anyone in earshot. And then we finally got raid ready and took on Karazhan, still one of THE most fun raids in the game. But even after Magtheridon, Mechanar dailies were still a headache without the right group. I remember it being par for the course to skip the fire bitch, whether in a PUG or guild group. And those golem sentinel thingies that I had to interrupt or they'd almost one-shot the tank... as trash! Should we go back to vanilla and raiding Scholomance? Yes, I said RAIDING Scholo. Cataclysm came along and finally I had thought the promises of requiring CC were real. They weren't. Before I had even gotten to 333il I was in PUG's that were aoespamming their way through without a glitch. Only the bosses presented any difficulty and nine times out of ten it was simply a matter of low-dps. And this despite having the crappiest tanks in WoW's existence, which is really par for the course these days, given that they are, far and away, the most powerful class. [/QUOTE]
