So we've gotten to the point where people defend afkers and noobs doing raids? Oh how we've changed from 2006 where we argued about casuals vs. hardcores vs. super hardcores.
Pointing out that things haven't really changed isn't the same as defending.

Yea the only time we tolerated someone afk during a boss was for something like ''shit tornado over my house! brb.''

Strangely, a few specefic players seemed to live in very tornado intensive areas...

edit, thats the thing, they did change. Something the guy pulled in the video would have never passed in EQ or wow vanilla. Unless you were backtracking old content, where yea, 4-5 guys could carry the raid.

Meh. I'm fine with keeping those retards in LFR.

I don't think they're dumb enough to do all underwater. I have a feeling there will be an underwater zone, an underground zone, some island zones, and that's that. Centered around Azshara and N'Zoth/other old gods. I imagine it will be a raising of some Naga civilization out in the sea.

Or hell, could just be a giant portal in Outland to some super secret piece of draenor that's been floating around Australia like with Outland.

going afk or even barely paying attention while you slammed one button in a group of 40+ is vastly different than complete non-participation in a 25 man
 
Looks like its WoW. D3 will be The Soul Reaper.

Kind of a generic name. I dunno. Just doesn't seem like a WoW xpac name as it only calls on something passively mentioned above a boss' head that was hard to see anyway.

Thinking the same. Old gods fight back. Then a legion/Titan focused xpac. I had expected it the other way around.
well if we go by the lollore of WoW it was Azshara who brought Sargeras to Azeroth so it seems reasonable that we will be dealing with her first and then before she dies she opens yet another portal to another dimension to lure in colossal creatures that we can only fight by building giant robots

Only mention of "The dark below" in wow canon ishttp://wowpedia.org/Ozumat

That's not the only mention - Ra-den's death quote had previously raised a lot of questions to the tune of "wtf was he talking about???" It makes a lot of sense now.

And I don't think it has to be limited to Underwater, either. Bringing zones like the Undermine (Goblin capital city), or just repeating Deepholm seems more likely. I also imagine they'll have to go with the unified "continent" approach, since that seems to have worked really well in MoP, rather than the disjointed approach in Cata

Wait! I am... I am not your enemy. You are powerful, more powerful than he was, even... perhaps you are right. Perhaps there is still hope.
But there is ayawning chasm of darkness beneath you mortals, vast, endless, and all consuming. I do not believe that you can correct this doomed course.
But you have earned the right to try. Farewell.

Lovecraft style expansion would own. But ya, it makes sense to do Old Gods/Azshara before Saergeras since he owned the old gods himself. Saurfang needs to go out like Broxigar did: Soloing hundreds of demons and managing to damage the armor of Saergeras before finally dying.

Heroic raid loot tag is the new Vanilla purple and has been for a few years now.
I realize that, but it shouldnt. Back then if you didn't raid you got your blue gear and did what you wanted. Now everyone needs to get purple gear and look like a super hero. They can change the colors, lower the ilevel, it doesn't matter. There was a big fucking difference back in the day when you saw some dude walking around in gear you knew came from the hardest content. Now if you look around, everyone looks badass. It's dumb and it directly contributes to why this game sucks donkey dick now.

Try being a lock before shard bags and the summon clicky. Everyone got to AFK or take their sweet time getting to raid.

"Need summon plz!!!"

At least now I can crap out the summon stone and afk.
