I think after a while, maybe they thought like, Like, okay, we're trying all these systems to make things nicer, but eventually you've got to realize sometimes people are just people. But hey, what if we take the people out? In your MMO, your massively online multiplayer game. So they took the people out, and that's follower dungeons, and they really are great. In this past...

I think it would be good to have some sort of difficulty slider. And the reason is because, again, with my healing experience, I did have a group of people that I could... Basically, all I was able to do in there was figure out the interface for healing and where the buttons were and everything like that. But I almost never had to heal anyone because the difficulty is so low.

And that's not what Blizzard put it in the game for. I think originally the way they sort of packaged it is they said it was going to be an easy single-player way for you to get dungeon questing done if you needed to.

actual grouped content because it will not no what it will do is it will introduce you to the environment and maybe the the interface and the set pieces and and just it'll make things look familiar when you start yeah doing maybe what trash you can skip stuff like that yeah yeah but but especially with healing and tanking and stuff as things get harder uh is when when you really have to learn it and so

But understanding the environment is one thing in and of itself, right? Like, especially as a tank, Scott, now that you're tanking. Yeah, look at me. As a tank, you are expected to be the one in charge, like leading the group, right? So you need to know where to go.
