This is why I only did LFR because it was the lesser of the DDR type raiding. I don't give a shit about trying hard for raids anymore as I'm only there to see content and get some sort of gear upgrade. Which begs the question, will LFR be a thing in this?

No way it’s LGR

I wonder if the raids are gonna be a bunch of DDR shit like retail. I dunno. I felt like fights were conceptually simpler back then. Probably rose tinted glasses. TBC had some mechanical bitch fights though.

DDR & endless addons. They fixed one part of that though.

Molten Core and Blackwing Lair were about as complex as EQ1 raid fights at worst - I mean fuck, a few of them even involved hiding behind a wall to avoid boss AOEs or standing with a back to a wall to mitigate knockbacks and 2nd boss of BWL literally does death touches on tanks every X seconds. If there was complexity, it usually was a gimmick. Like proper use of the orb in the first BWL room

AQ40 is around the time they started to get a bit more complex and Naxx was, IMO, the birth of the "modern" WoW raid.

No way was anything in EQ as novel/complex as that first fight in BWL where you had to control the dude and break the eggs
