Cuz it was fun as hell! They were truely encounters where gear didn't matter (yeah ok the FL vehicules scaled with gear but thats beside the point) and you were just there for the mechanic of the fight.
No "omg im on top of the damage meter cuz im FOTM OP class". You executed the fight perfectly or you died.
If they are trying to add another BF:Bad Company style single player... can i just buy a version of BF3 with just the multiplayer and save 30 $ please?
My only problem i had with heroics this time around wasn't about the CC, or the fact that mobs hit hard on the tank or that they took over and hour sometimes to complete.
It was the fact that so many of them had so many "1 shot" mechanics which gibbed your party members at every turn.
And a lot of them are completely random!
Some are even buggy, like hunters not getting debuffs to "bleed" on the 3rd boss of Stonecore.
These heroics are so unforgivable that it killed pugging completely to me, even with my tank alt who can get insta-queues 24/7.
Now i have to run heroics with guildies who are decently geared but its hard if your guild is small and has different playtimes.
Again, i don't mind the fact that Blizzard made heroics hard. I welcome it, especially after the zerg fest that LK was (altough it was nice to gear up alts fast). I'm just sad of the way they implemented it.
