    Yea....? I enjoy so much Lfr/+ the way of gear up~~ that every time i'm queing i log'off for the rest of the day~

    I prefer 1 run 30 minutes/continuesly if i want~~~ rather than spending 1 run 2/3 hours with the amount of rng per week. At the point of getting zero upgrades for 1 week.

    HC scenarios were a lot fun when they were released and I remember people dying there for the first days also.

    But yeah 5 man dungeons > scenarios still in my opinion, both of them have their places.

    So no, I'd rather prefer Blizzard create more awesome scenarios with unique mechanics like ones from "A Little Patience".
    Yeah and is that good game design or good practice to have two roles pretty much obsolete? Scenarios feel long and slow if everyone's not specced dps. I think it's stupid to say that someone else is complaining for nothing if they say that their role is useless. Healers should have a job to do. Tanks should have a job to do. Now they're just people who work against the bonus valor timer. Scenarios are essentially designed to please dps players because their queues won't be long because of their role.

    Also loot being totally random isn't a good thing because you have no control over how you gear up. At least with 5 mans you can pick the dungeons that drop the loot you need - I'd prefer new 5mans over the Timeless Isle loot piñata.

    personally im glad they didn't add new 5mans, at best you get 3 new ones. that everyone does ignoring all the older ones.
    making lfr the catch up way to go was actually pretty smart, kind of looked liked how you had too catch up with current raid content in vanilla/TBC though quicker.

    and them making scenario's instead was a good idea in my opion, especially the heroic ones. which still are my favorite way of capping valor.

    And they were right except for the fact Scenarios had no guaranteed loot, so running them was ultimately as waste if you were trying to get gear as you A) Had only a chance at loot and B) Had only a chance at it being loot you actually wanted/needed.

    I personally thought Scenarios were a great idea, but needed more incentive, and I hope they expand on them in Warlords. I like the idea of relatively fast, small group content you can queue up and run through with limited time, but the fact this is ultimately a gear-based game makes Scenarios with random loot a pretty poor idea. I'd prefer something like LOTRO's Skirmishes instead, which IMO are the best way of handling group content of any sort (scalable based on players, on level, and you can choose a difficulty, and get rewarded marks that are useful at all levels, so you can run any one of them even the early ones at higher levels and get appropriate rewards for appropriate difficulty)

    MoP had scenarios, there's your "answer"

    There are people who like scenario's more then 5-mans. Like you obviously.
    But there are also people who like the 5-mans more.
    A mix of the two would be best imo, to statisfy most players.
    I like the 5 mans more. I think it's too bad they didn't make every scenario heroic.
    The normal scenario's are in an even worse position then the heroic 5 mans.
