4.LEVELING-4.2Instances
|
Instances have always offered good experience, superior loot through both drops and quests and a good or bad experience working together with others. There are several problems with Azerothian instances that made some players largely avoid them while leveling up;
Shorter instances
Taking several hours to complete an instance was seen as too long by many. Blizzard retuned Scholomance and Stratholme several times, removing spawns and reducing the average time needed to complete them. They saw the popularity of Scarlet Monastery and Dire Maul and built the Outland instances in a similar fashion. All of the 5-man instances in Outland consist of multiple smaller wings. The individual wings take less time to complete, which is welcomed by many.
Bad pickup groups
Most people have faced a bad pickup group at one point or another. It can be a true horror and having the aforemented smaller wings definitely helps to shorten the pain of a bad pug (So does leaving it, but thats a tale for another day). The LFG tool can make forming an instance group a little easier as well.
