I soloed Alangria a few weeks ago on my Defiler. It's free status.

You forget what company were dealing with, this is a SOE game and it's fairly easy for them to take a monster, increase it's size and weaponry. Slap a fresh name on it and label it epic.

Now the lower levels get to see a mob high level raiders are tired of. I wonder how much time that takes....?

I think most of you greatly underestimate the casual player. I'm no advocate for casual playing, but I honestly believe there would be less griping on the official forums about not having stuff to do, because we know that a lot of people don't rush for 70, a lot of them don't even achieve 70. I know LFG mentioned earlier that it takes about 2 months "tops" to get 70, but I don't really see that.

I think a good mix of a few new lower tier raid targets would be perfect, even if some of you would "be all over that and farm them", to at least give casuals something like that would be acceptable. I know they have "guild raids" now and that they tier accordingly, but still.

If nothing else, it would provide extra fun for those of us with lower tier alts.

i really hope the stress the t7 contesteds, but i can understand them putting in some new contesteds, since the expansion is supposed to accomodate all levels. they are probably hoping a lot of people will start up again or at least start over with alts on the new continent. if there's enough of them it shouldn't be too hard to get people together and kill these mobs as they level up. Eventually they will become obsolete, but adds immersian i suppose keeping both contesteds balanced throughout lvling areas.

the lack of contesteds has been way too rediculous lately. they have the wrong idea thinking contesteds is bad for the game. This next expansion "would" be a better game if they had 20 real epic contesteds.

go from t5 has like 14 contesteds
then to t6 has maybe 5 contesteds (SS/majdul excluded)
then to t7 has like 6 contesteds (monoliths shouldn't count, tos dragons barely count)

they need a huge step up from this, back to like it was in tier 5

edit- also the instancing burns ppl out in this game. the content becomes too scheduled and old. I think they need less instancing in general, and maybe add some randomness to the instances as well. like have a base set of mobs that always will spawn in an instance. Then have like 3 or 4 other mobs that have a chance to spawn each time, so you clear to these and check if it's up, occassionally (Singe is up!!!!!), stuff like that. Maybe one incredibly rare one as well. just such a bland experience after you've cleared an instance so many times.
