I bet a lot of "normal" players think we are complaining about how much closer to the boss we are even though we have the mouse wheel "zoomed" all the way to max. Of course Blizz didn't change that distance much, if at all with their nerf.
What the REAL problem is, is that there was an undocumented(?) console command that allowed you to set the camera distance variable to a very large number, which then zoomed out so far you could see the entire area on your screen and the boss was a very tiny creature in that huge vista. THAT IS WHAT WE LOST PEOPLE. The ability to zoom out far enough to be able to see the entire boss on our screen, which is very useful to melee dps and tanks.
So, when you call us names and say we're dumb for complaining so loudly, just think if blizz made a change one night to how you have played the game since the beginning, completely changing how you are used to seeing the game world. It would upset you very much. Hopefully you will understand now, this is not born of teenaged angst...it is due to a real problem with how you actually play the game, and affects EVERY part of the game!
