Whats the point of instances then?

[The_wand_mirror]

Don't low level instances lose interest?

I mean like Molten Core and such, greenies from 64 in outland are stronger then some(all?) epics you get there.

So you would just end up doing them for fun?

And when Wotlk is released whats the point of doing BT when you can level to 80 and do all instances there, get blues and do icecrown. (Blues of some instances are way better than BT/SWP epics)

So.. eh.. Doesn't this happen in retail?

Please move this to the World of Warcraft forum. I made this mistake because the other topic was also placed here =/

Fun and achievements, or just unique looking loot

Such as doing Strath for the Baron's mount

 

[Tyranid]

Endgame instances are NOT supposed to last to the next expansion. For example Molten Core was never really supposed to last to lvl 70 in TBC. The same with TBC, it won't last to WOTLK. The point is to do them while they're still valid and get the best loot from them and after that wait for the expansion.

After the expansion the only point of doing them is for general fun and also the achievement. Also special loot like mounts as Mecheon said.

Yeah ok for those goodies. But i bet you thousand of lazy asses are just going to level to 80 and go to northrend when they're 70 to get blues they're and they will do Icecrown then anyway so BT would be shit compared to that.

And may I ask that what is bad in that?

 

[Angry_Bovine]

The game won't move on if you don't do this. I don't want to be doing Illidan when Wrath comes out. We've already had like 2 years to kill him.

 

[bobmanone]

its the constant gear grind, why you ask? to keep you playing and paying.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

It's just the problem that all these instances are kind off wasted now, except for BG's.

And i'm talking from the perspective of a beginner. (Not that i am)

 

[VGsatomi]

Regardless of level, its always entertaining watching Ragnaros die. Since achievements have been release, i've seen a shart spike in older instances being run, wether 5 mans or 40 mans. it gives a big chance for those who came into the game late to see a lot of the content they missedbefore they first joined the game. i don't think I've ever met anyone who came in after bc's release NOT think the c'thune fight was just simply awesome. (since its actually fun and easy at lvl 70)

As for running raids- you'd be surprised how much easier leveling is in epic gear

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Mh yeah smart move with the achievements there. So when you're like level 60 you could also do molten core for the items but also to get the achievement done.

Yeah blizzard owns me now.

 

[Kwaliti]

Yeah, achievements are now some sort of a revival method of the old instances. It always feels good to see an old world boss fall.

And i bet they are shit with TBC gear.

 

[Huurka]

Yep. They are shit.

We ran MC the other day. It took less than an hour, if more people would have water.

 

[Angry_Bovine]

Achievements give a reason to go back to old world instances, or even lower level instances I should say. The only complaint I have with the achievement system is that it didn't record half the stuff I did before it went live, so apparently I didn't do SFK, WC, or any of those things. AQ20, AQ40 and the like are still all really fun to do, just as a memory to the struggle it was at 60. VGsatomi also made a good point; T6 will last you all the way to 80 (just as T3 got you almost to 70).

BT is shit anyway, at least that's what I heard.

You also do it for the content. . .the bossfight, the instance design. . .I for example was in Naxx @ 70 with the best guild on my server and we actually wiped on some bosses, including Kel'Thuzad. But it was fun to see Naxx before WotLK, and how things we're made preTBC. You can actually understand why Blizzard reduced the raids from 40man to 25man in TBC. . .getting 40 people on some fights in Naxx. . .pff small chance some1 doesn't mess up ^_^. Anyway you do it for fun, and for the content, ofc no1 will stop by TK while leveling to 80 or anything lawl, but there is no point in actually deleting them is it ? Those we're the challenges if that version of the game, with every expansion there is a new start for all, even for the noob guilds, they have the chance to organize this time and be the first to get to Arthas

Now WotLK is comming, and new challenges await. . .it's a new game

 

[Angry_Bovine]

Plus, you leave Pre-BC as well as BC instances open for the people who are leveling new characters. Why stop 80's from helping level 60-70 players get gear through TK/SSC/BT?

This is especially the case because we will be seeing death knights who start at level 55, who still need to make their way through outland.

 

[Instant Ramen]

For the unique-looking gear and such. My guild got together with one of the top raiding guilds on the server and we did a full clear on Naxx the day before it moved. (I got mah Corrupted Ashbringer! )

 

[Serbianbeast]

My guess is that some day, blizzard will remake all used-to-be high end dungeons and make them maximum level dungeons, balance the loot that's gotten from bosses and let you play all instances just as they are new. It might happen when the next-gen mmo or maybe a new mmorpg by blizzard is created and wow gets old
