It was me. And fine that you got your payoff for the expansion. Now imagine being someone who had that same marketing showing the big bad Arthas and all the quest lines in the zones leading to finally confronting him, and then....nope, fuck you, thanks for your money but you have to raid to finish the expansion.

Then they doubled down on the slap in the face by putting in that statue that showed the cutscene only a select few ever got to see in game.

One of the reasons I play this game is because they don't pull the bullshit I saw in EverQuest, in EverQuest II, in WoW, in Star Wars Galaxies, even to a certain extent in the CoX games. I enjoyed raiding in EQ but I never liked that there was so much of the experience that was only available to us because we raided. When MMOs started going away from this design, I was more than happy to go along with it. Wanting to exclude people from an experience just because you think you're better than they are at a video game is selfish and entitled.
