    Horray! It's a copy of Ulduar! Why can't they come up with new ideas instead of just opting to reskin every single thing?
    Like seriously... just look at it. It's Ulduar gone Panda.
    Wah! Raiding sucks! Why can't they make something more like Ulduar and Black Temple!

    Wah! They made something exactly like Ulduar and Black Temple! Way 2 B Original!

    I never said I want a rehash of Black Temple or Ulduar. If anything, something ICC-esque would be preferable. At least that design was SOMEWHAT original.

    all that means is your opinion and those that agree with you happen to be in the vast minority. if one was to spend any reasonable time here on these boards, it would be plainly obvious how ulduar in particular was held up as one of the best raids. nostalgia or not, there has been numerous requests from the majority of the raiding community to go back to that style of raid.

    Icecrown Citadel = Copy Paste of Siege of Ulduar.

    Zone in, go forward for a couple hundred yards, encounter Marrowgar/Leviathan.

    Turn left, encounter Ignis/Putricide. Turn right and encounter Razorscale/Sindragosa. Go straight and encounter XT/Lanathel.

    Click the portal, go to Kologarn / Lich King

    you heard it blizz team, once an instance has a door no other instance is allowed to have a door, for it will "look similar" and therefore will be rehashing, despite that its a entirely new art and look. fuckin whiny bitches, the instance looks more like an asian inspired castle, which happens to have a front door.

    I'm not awake enough to be looking at this. On first glance I thought it was the big palace between the two shrines in Valley (with a few modifications).

    [QUOTE=Jadhak;19521932]On the other hand, unemployed people who are not actively contributing to society, or students who have a lot more spare time, will be able to fully enjoy such content".

    Not sure what your idea of a student is but we don't have "more" spare time. If anything we have less than someone who stands at a conveyor belt for 40 hrs a week and calls it contributing. And btw most students have jobs as well, some of them even full time. I work 48 hrs a week, go to school 20 hrs a week, study for another 20+ during the week and still have time to sleep, not be fat, hang out with my friends, raid AND do my fucking dailies. So stop whining.

    Players scream ... We want Ulduar again. It was the best raid !!!! Blizz makes Ulduar inspired raid. Players scream ... Noo that is all wrong, it reminds us of Ulduar !!!

    Can't please them all I guess I am one of those who wouldn't mind raiding another Ulduar, so looks nice to me.
