Re: World of Warcraft
Grinding for what?
Take an average group of level 60s who spent 58-60 in outland doing quests, and running ramps/bf/sp and then put them in one of the pre-BC end-game raids and you'd see much the same effect.
The purpose of the raid nerf was to get people gear that might actually last them past level 71 quest blues, let them get the reps they needed and wanted before getting bogged down with Northrend, and basically, just to keep people playing between then and release, since they'd otherwise say just what you're saying "Why bother, I'll be getting better gear off trash, I'll just go do something else"
Up in the south side of the Ruins of Karabor there are a crapload of mobs called (I think) Sunfury Initiates, who have glaives similar in shape to Illidan's; IIRC that place is pally tank grind heaven.
