Why did we die?
One flaw with the current system, is if players fail in a pick-up group, they aren't told why they failed. People then tend to play the blame game, often directing malice at the healer(s).

So while I'm speaking more about class roles, I think the idea still lends itself to your question. It'd be helpful to get more information than just through trial and error. Groups could benefit if they knew they didn't wipe because the healer didn't manage mana well enough, but because the DPS wasn't high enough, or boss adds weren't properly rounded up, etc. (Source)

The Daily Blink - Overqualified

    I hope there will something like a tickbox where you can tell if you know the bossfights and whatnot or you enter the dungeons for the first time.

    With a targetting macro and a keybinding to interact with your target, this quest is a piece of cake. But still... I should be killing dragons, really...

    Multiple choices questions!

    During the Keristrasza in the Nexus you should:
    a) Jump bro!
    b) Stand still must cast moar deeps!
    c) Don't know, don't care, I just need my epix

    YES! Exactly what I felt after getting all this "save animalz from teh evil elementz" quests. It made me gave up any hopes on Hyjal and instead level all chars via Vashji'r :]

    the bunny quest reminds me of Karate Kid, when Daniel-san has to catch a fly with eating sticks.

    No but a system similar to the Playerscore add-on which records your experience in dungeons/raids would be an idea. That way people will be able to tell how many times you've downed certain bosses and therefore be able to guage your experience with certain encounters.

    I was just about to recommend the same thing. Seems like a trustworthy system. Only downside is it means Bliz is just ripping off more home brew addons which is kinda sad. Billions of dollars and most of their UI ideas seem to come from the masses.

    I dont think we need 20 questions or a checkbox. More so a Raid Warning on wipe as to the reasons for the wipe, just like they said.
    Oh, nobody interupted the anvil from dropping on our heads! Stupid healer, learn to heal failure!!!! (btw, im a healer and see the hate)

    On the daily blink: that's exactly how I felt when that Shaman asked me to go collect dung for her in Nagrand..

    what? borrowing innovations and ideas from others work?

    welcome to the last few thousand years of human history ...

    While I can sympathize with an add-on developer whose project was made obsolete because blizzard chose to duplicate the functionality. there are no rewards at all other than the satisfaction of providing a utility that many people want and appreciate. but really shouldn't it be the goal to provide such a good add-on that blizzard chooses to incorporate it into the game, saving you the time and effort to maintain it?

    Heehee, that's hilarious.

    And about the whole skill thing, anyone can be carried through anything. So someone could be carried through a fight 100 times and still not know what they are doing.
