Man, we lived long on that instance. BT and such was great aswell, but lacked the hardmodes and the achievements, obviously, which is why i point to Ulduar. I hope and expect that ICC will be just like that, just harder ;) Yeah, doing TOTC four times each week is a pain – ive stopped doing 10 man normal, at least, because im running out of things to spend my badges on :P

I can certainly understand why a world-ranked guild might be frustrated by this release strategy, but consider the alternative: We could be stuck raiding ToC and Ulduar until the entire instance is ready, or we they could just rush to put out an entire instance and we could be stuck with another ToC. I just hope the fights (not just the end bosses for each wing, but ALL of the fights) are challenging. I'm talking Black Temple, Sunwell Plateau challenging. I'm talking Yogg-Saron or General HM or IC HM challenging, where coordination, not just button spamming, is the key to success. I'm also really happy that hard modes are once again on the same instance ID as normal modes. Running ICC twice a week will be enough. I have mixed feelings about this as well.
