Level 60 non-raid content? (go back »)

"The high end level 60 content has been a point of some discussion in the community, and I think it's about time it was discussed in our topic of the week! So far, the high end content added to World of Warcraft has been in two forms. They have added raid content (such as Molten Core and Blackwing Lair), and they have added PvP content (honor system, battlegrounds). Upcoming in the next patch will be ""mini-raid"" content at Zul'Gurub (20 player instance). This content is somewhat of a departure from the 1-59 game. World of Warcraft's success is widely attributed to its soloability, and the minimal time commitment required to advance in the game. Casual players can pick up, play for 30 minutes, and still accomplish something. Once level 60 is reached, this is no longer the case. Players without the time to commit to a raiding guild or without the time to invest in obtaining high honor system ranks have virtually zero advancement opportunities. Blizzard has attempted to solve this with such things as Warsong Gulch, Darkmoon Fairie trading cards, and Zul'Gurub. Have they done enough. If not, please explain why you feel that way, and then give some ideas for content Blizzard could create for the more ""casual"" player. If you feel they have done enough, why. What are your experiences with the end game content. What do you think of it. What sort of worthwhile ""casual"" end game content could be introduced, but still give more hardcore gamers plenty of reasons to participate in raids and the honor system. I totally agree Dalgar. I'm a fairly casual gamer, I rarely have time for long instances that go on into the wee hours of the night. wow geld Nor can I play all day, night and morning and to be honest I find end game very disapointing.

The only choice other than doing these long instances for end game items, is to PVP. Which doesn't exactly float everyones boat, I believe WoW is seriously lacking end game content, especially for those of us who don't devote our entire life to WoW, in other words, casual gamers. lord of the rings online gold I can't really say how blizzard could solve this problem because the instances, the items, etc are fantastic but near impossible for casual players to make use of."
