WoW WAS good, at level 60. Where it required SKILLS and DETERMINATION to get anywhere. A full raid with 40 people, all needed to be skilled, and focused. Especially up in the harder instances.. aq40 and naxx.. Nowadays it's nowhere as fun, and much easier to get good equipment (play 10 arena games a week, and some bg's.. congratz u get good gear faster than hardcore raiders pre tbc)

Everyone has good gear, everyone has A LOT of spells and skills to keep themselves alive for like, a long time, so a fight get long, and after a while boring.. where's the old WoW? when you had 3-5k hp and could be owned in a couple of seconds if you didn't know how to play..

Actually I love long exciting battles in MMORPGs. Dark Age of Camelot always suffered from 5 second battles (if 8 person FG versus 8FG). Only long battles were the zergs... I loved the zergs. And keep sieges of course.

I said that if you DIDN'T know how to play, the battles would end up in some secs, but nowadays, even a person who don't know wtf they are doing,.. and still it takes 20-30 sec just to get that guy down.. even worse with a healer..

I remember an arena match.. in TBC.  Me as healing druid, and an MS warrior, against Discipline priest and Rogue.
I think the match lasted around 1½ - 2 hours.. and that was because of server shutdown or something.. so nobody won.

Of course, I thought it was super fun doing arenas and such, but equal teams will almost NEVER take each other down. A heal shouldn't be more powerful than damage, it should only slow down deaths, by pretty much of course, and hopefully give enough time to kill the other one.
If you had good healing, and great mana regen, then you could just heal non stop without EVER loosing all ur mana..

Pre TBC, the matches actually ended sometime, since then people actually loosed all their mana. If you knew how to play in TBC, or know how to play in WotLK, then you shouldn't loose all ur mana, as healer. Which is in my eyes, pretty boring, and makes the mana system pretty dull.
