Do you, like me, think that the 1 week timer on Kara is too long? Well don't hold your breath for a change... Blizzard have no such plans!

We don't have any plans to shorten the Karazhan timer at this point in time. We're comfortable with how it is and so far, people seem to be getting good advantage out of the badge rewards from there.

What are you favorite boss fights? Here's one example:

But by far it has to be Mr. Aran, the fact that he has low armor and only one AoE makes it the best melee oriented fight in kara. BTW, if you enjoy Pre-BC fights more; you can also state which ones and why

Void Reaver was downed in 53 seconds thanks to a mind control bug.... pretty sweet!

Blizzard will be fixing it of course - http://www.worldofraids.com/news/november/void-reaver-53secs.jpg 

Is PVE being phased out in favor of the Arenas? HAHA Yeah Right!

We are going to continue to develop both PvP and PvE content. PvE isn't being phased out for Arenas.

These sorts of debates between PvP and PvE are inevitable given the nature of trying to balance two aspects of the game that some people feel conflict with each other. Some people don't care for PvP and some don't care for PvE but the availability of both is still there for everyone.

We try to cater gear for PvP or PvE as we feel is most beneficial as well. While there are some pieces of gear that people may find in PvE encounters that are viable for PvP, we don't want to make it so that people that don't wish to PvE don't have to do it in order to be competitive. We want to continue to make it beneficial for people to do what they enjoy (either PvP or PvE) in order to get the gear they want/need to continue enjoying themselves and being competitive.

I think this is a first... Blizzard posters on the forums giving tips on how to defeat mob bosses.

Assuming that you're using a warrior to tank the fight, since you didn't specify, I will provide these tips, which you might find helpful.

It's important for your tank to use shield block as often as possible during this entire encounter. Also, ideally shield wall is being saved for specific points where emergencies are likely to occur (i.e. having to move during phase 2).

Demoralizing shout should be the preferred shout. As a matter of fact, any spell or ability from anyone in the raid that grants the tank additional damage mitigation should be used.

During phase 2, all healers should be spamming the tank, keeping him/her topped off completely. Everyone else should be mindful of their own health during this phase. Outside of keeping the tank alive, this fight is about watching the environment. Do not wait until you're already boxed in to move the raid. If you look around and there is a place that an infernal could potentially drop that would block you in, move accordingly at that time.

Tanking him by the entrance to wall near the left works well. Raid marking one ranged player for the rest of the ranged (including healers) to follow when that portion of the raid has to move can be helpful. It's always important that your raid leader is helping others to watch the environment. The designated raid leader should be paying attention for others, and providing instructions during the course of this fight.

Here's a godo question - is anyone doing the high level 60 instances like MC and Naxx anymore?

I remember fondly the first time my guild managed to take out Ragnaros in Molten Core. It had taken a lot of planning to make a serious attempt at it, and when everything finally came together just right it was a huge thrill. Or the first time we took out Nefarian in Blackwing Lair or Princess Huhurahn in Ahn'Qiraj or... any of a dozen other boss first kills. It may have taken countless frustrating wipes to learn the perfect strategy, but when things finally come together, it's a great feeling.
 

Want to know how they design the dungeons and what factors/things they take into consideration? Someone recently asked in the forums and got an excellent response.

Of course there is some sort of “minimum tolerance” limit somewhere that needs to be reached before you will be able to succeed in clearing certain dungeons, which means that at some point in time your gear will quite likely not be sufficient for certain raids, and you therefore need to spend some time and resources improving your gear before you can progress any further. But the actual limitation by “minimum tolerance” of gear is a very elusive and indefinable thing, because there are so many variables or factors that come into play when raiding.

Things like gear, skill, experience, raid composition and class combinations, talent builds, etc. and so forth all have an influence on how well a raid will do, and that is why you see no clear definitions of these things. Some raidgroups manages to do well with relatively little +healing on their healers, whereas other raidgroups for various reasons might require better or more +healing gear for their healers. The gear quality of the tank for an example will often also have a direct influence on the +healing gear required by the healer.

But what I am puzzled about is this: If your guild was able to clear Gruul's lair sufficiently with less +healing gear than you have now, then I don’t really see why this discussion started in the first place :-) 

Are the top PVE guilds like Death and Taxes, with all their sick gear, accepting payments from other players to get them into the top Arena PVP rankings to get the rewards?
