Those of us who grew up on older MMO's and know what a real challenge was back then compared to the cakewalk MMO's are today.

I've been there in the old days. The challenge on those games used to be on other things not boss fights. On the fact that it took ages to level, that you could lose XP and gear if you die. That getting to the boss was a long and dangerous trip. Sure they had their charm but when it came to boss fights they were pretty boring and I don't miss it. They just weren't very interesting fights. Just sitting there for hours and dpsing is all I remember. On those games gear was king.
