With the Burning Crusade winding down and the Wrath of the Lich King looming on the horizon, my guild has finally reached the last raid boss of the Sunwell Plateau, Kil’jaeden. To be honest, I’m spent. Naxxramas at level 60 was probably the greatest gaming experience I’ve ever had because it was huge, it was fun, and it was challenging. Sunwell Plateau at 70 has not been anywhere near as great. Now the reasons why so many guilds are reporting difficulty and frustration with the Sunwell Plateau have been debated endlessly on other blogs and forums. I don’t need re-hash those same complaints here. If you’re already in Sunwell, you know damn well what I mean. But whatever; I’m sticking it through and killing this guy, even if it’s only once.

Now, I’m also in the beta and I’m having an amazing amount of fun there. I’m confident that Blizzard will fix many of the problems with raiding that exist in the game today. I know something better is coming very soon. What I need right now is some perspective that will make me want to go wipe 80 times on Kil’jaeden on “live” until we kill him and have fun doing it. I’m really struggling with this. I’m considering raiding tonight with a really bad German accent. Or something. Help?
