You obviously have never had a job.


I have a job I love. Know how I got it? Quitting the one I hated.

When?


But nice try.

same.

Most of the people I know are professionals who are good at their jobs, but they wouldn't describe the work as "fun."

If you gave a working adult 100 million dollars I would say 99% would quit their job.

I do think you have to take the tone of that post in the context in which it was written. Because Sinestra is a super-hardcore boss, they were pretty much the first ones to really push her mechanics to the limits. It's easy to see from their post that they were understandably frustrated. Not only were they trying to learn the mechanics and develop strategies, but we were watching closely, hotfixing several different issues as they stumbled across them. This meant they had to adapt to the changes we were making on the spot in addition to figuring out how to kill her -- and she's definitely no pushover.

We do wish it would have been a cleaner fight for them, but we really appreciate them pushing the limits of hardcore raiding, and testing us to design new and compelling challenges. :)

Only 99%? Whose the other 1%? Bill Gates?

That is more due to the fact that its Paragon, going for a world first. On a world first, they don't take anything that isnt literally, the BEST choice for that encounter. It doesn't mean Shaman are no good for Sinestra, just means they aren't the be all end all of dps for the fight.

I believe the answer you're looking for is here by Paragon:

Overall just a very weird raiding experience. Some good stuff, some bad stuff, some unfinished/buggy stuff, but definitely very stressful. Personally I’m not sure what to think of it quite yet.


Sounds 50 /50 to me at best. Probably leaning to not enjoyable really as I don't know many people that like to play a video game for the stress it might give them.

Lol, pros could probaby beat several insane PCs alone, and the insane PC isn't smart like a pro player, and you got to beat a pro players consistently for that.
