(I'm looking at you Brewfest 'wannabe' boss)
I am not someone to farm for emblems. I don't do daily dungeons. I rarely do the weekly raid quest. I am not going to farm a (so called) boss for emblems either.
My Warlock was reasonably geared when Nax 10 was current content. I think he has upgraded two pieces of gear since then. He still has a blue trinket (admittedly the very nice Alchemy one), so I thought I would take this opportunity to try and get a purple trinket to replace it. Last night I queued on my lock (foosecond). I had problems (a) with restarts, and (b) it sometimes takes me a while to change zones. The boss was dead before I zoned in.
I understand the desire of Blizzard to make the boss available to lvl 78+ toons. This means he will be easy. I also understand that Blizzard dev's are busy at the moment, pushing Cata. It probably slipped their mind.
My proposal:
As we now have dungeon finder to access the bosses, have two modes. One 'normal' mode dropping someloot, and a 'heroic' mode dropping someloot + trivial extra (extra gold, an extra event token, or .0001% extra chance to get the mount). Hard mode would be the same boss as normal, but with 50% more damage and health (replace 50% with whatever number is appropriate).
Players are grinding this boss for one of two reasons: To get a trinket for a new 80, or for frost emblems. I enjoy daily quests far more than this boss, and I don't do daily quests either. I am not alone.
