Raids. Right. Of course...
They were only considered raids by some people because Tier 0 dropped from there and you were able to enter with 10 people. Do I need to remind you that you were and are only able to enter true raid instances if you actually were in a raid group?
They were very doable with 5 players in crappy gear right from the beginning, they just needed to have a little skill.
They were "nerfed" when tier 0.5 was released. After that they were still pretty challenging for 60s with only average gear. Far more difficult than normal WotLK instances nowadays for sure.

Not a single one of those are nor were pure raid instances. The only one that comes close to a raid instance is LBRS. But if you knew WoW a little, you would know that UBRS was actually the part were 10 players were recommended.
Might wanna check at least some internet links before you start posting next time...

DM was actually far harder than any of the other "semi-raids" you were talking about. And it was a pure 5-man from the beginning.

Sorry, but what else should I say?
They were far more difficult than the ones nowadays (thats all I said), even after the nerf. If you need examples, you obviously never ran em with normal equipment. And if you cant even remember which instances were raids and which ones were 5-mans, or rather try to bend things to your will, I know very well that its useless to argue with you any further.
Cant do much against ignorance.

Youre right, there werent many 5-mans in vanilla. Scholomance, DM, Stratholme, BRD, LBRS. BUT they were huge. One run could take a whole day. Normaly you only ran a small section of that instance because everything would have taken too long.

Why shouldnt there be proper 5-man content?

Still no new 5 man content?
Im sick of raiding...

It is a short onyish/voaish instance. And they just added 3 new 5 mans with ICC, so not sure what you mean by still.

Just? Thats over half a year ago and those 3 were extremely short and not really challenging (except the third one, if you were grouping with idiots).
Short or not, I simply dont like raiding anymore.

I really hope there will be lots of new 5 mans with Cataclysm that are at least as challenging as the ones in BC, or even better, like in vanilla.

The 360's hardware failures have been pretty terrible but their software running the box is basically a generation ahead of the PS3. It's not even close. How long did it take the PS3 to get their dashboard working in game? Trophies? Does Netflix work without a disc yet?

The closest competition to the 360 is the PS3 and it's just now getting features setup that the 360 launched with.

For the life of me, I cannot fathom why people who buy 360s put up with that utter nonsense.

I paid a little more for my PS3 (vs. a 360), got a Blu-ray player and game system and I've never had an single issue with it. It's two years old now. I guess it could theoretically die tomorrow.

But, returning EIGHT TIMES for repairs--the same repair?! I've seen people post even higher number of repairs. That's a fatal design flaw, folks. Why put money in that?

PS3 vs. 360 ownership aside--don't condone shitty manufacturing.

I still can't believe how many of you claim to have a LAN with no access to the internet. Alright, fine, there have been some people pointing out that serious competition LAN parties with hundreds of users may not have the bandwith, but other than that? Seriously, if all you did was have 2-4 person LAN games you shouldn't be affected at all. Your LAN is on the internet. You can still play each other in private Battle.net games. You'll notice no differences...

What about 8? I regularly had 7 friends here for Starcraft 1. I'm on DSL so while I've got 6Mbit downstream, I only have 512Kb upstream and using more than half of that completely chokes the downstream.
I know that current games don't need much network traffic (I think, never felt the need to actually check it) but you can't tell me that 8 people sharing 32 KB/s won't hurt the ping.

And all this just because Blizzard's to let us log in and then use the LAN for the actual game traffic.
