Yeah, my interest has been growing in it lately for some reason, but I don't really have the time to invest in it. That was my main problem, when I played before. I enjoyed playing on occasion, but not enough to want to sink hours and hours and hours into the game, and justify paying $15 a month for it.

I don't know when you last played, but in the past year and a half or so, Blizzard has made the game increasingly easier and easier and more casual friendly. They greatly cut back the amount of experience to go from 1-60, then did the same for 60-70. It's also extremely easy to get gear and caught up once you hit the max level, and it's easy to pug raids now without having a guild and spending 20 hours a week raiding.
I personally don't like what they've done, but for people like you and the majority of people who want to play it it's a blessing.
Seri - u still on BDF? We ( Granite, Terri and myself) are back on Alliance... Horde has died on BDF.
Granite got his Shadow's Edge the other day.
I qould consider myself kinda hardcore, I hate to see people consistantly failing to move on something or not running to me during rotface ooze kiting so i can dispell them, or they run infront of me instead of behind me.... it's hard enough to kite and keep aggro AND have to dispell people as well as watch for the slime in the walls without people being retards and making it harder....
The new dungeon finder system is great for low levels though. Means new players can learn how to act in a 5 man/raid with their classes instead of hitting 80 and not knowing how to MD the tank or FD...
Nope I play on Dark Spear now
I wouldn't consider myself hardcore, just someone who when it comes to raiding, puts 110% effort into it and has common sense to not stand in fire. I'd say hardcore are the guilds like Ensidia and vodka and Premonition etc etc who raid 5+ nights a week and will raid all night to try and get server/world firsts.
Of course on top of making the game easier, they are also slowly killing off hardcore players and guilds by locking them out of raids and bosses and only giving people certain amounts of attempts to do certain ones. I think it's stupid how they are putting out ice crown bosses and letting you kill the final ones of the wing. Now when "hardcore" (or even just people who don't want the entire game to be a joke and somewhat challenging) post on any forum with their concerns and what it's become, there's instantly 20 pages of flames from the casuals who have only been playing since Wrath and think everything should be the way it is because 95% of the players are like this now.
Anyway I'm done ranting now, I hope we kill putricide this week. We got A Tribute to Mad Skill last night (fucking 10% wipe on anub in phase 3 with 50 attempts left, so disappointing) so getting putricide down would be a good way to top off the week.
Haha, we hit the enrage timer at 40% because we didn't know he had one last week and we were taking our time. When we go for it this week we need to get our dps to stop being stupid.
