Please don't do vehicle encounters in Ulduar

If there must be a vehicle encounter, make the vehicles optional so that the raid could kill the boss without using them.

We play World of Warcraft instead of Runescape because it is much more diverse and the vehicles take away from that diversity

Oh, it's done. You will have no options. You will get on vehicles with your raid. You will have a different experience than you've had on drakes. Diversity will happen before your eyes. Your first boss encounter in Ulduar will begin on vehicles, and it will be epic. Only when this boss is dead will you think to yourself, "I have done something unique I've not done in WoW before." You will wonder if that faint spark of happiness you feel is worth telling anyone on the forums about. This thought will be replaced by how awesome the rest of Ulduar is.

You'll enjoy this. :)

Q u o t e:
PS. WHAT HAPPENED TO BLOCK DID YOU GUYS LOCK HIM UP I NEVER SEE HIM POST ANYMORE? Just because he's a box doesn't mean he doesn't have the right to voice his opinions now and again.

He's evolved. You don't see Block anymore because the entire realm of the forums exists within the box. He's not in the box. He's not outside the box. He IS the box.

Q u o t e:
I would also like to say that I do not enjoy vehicles. I play a priest not a tank driver or a dragon pilot. I do not like Malygos phase 3 and I do not like vehicles. Let me play my class.

Then, my friend, you are in luck! We've packed Ulduar absolutely FULL with content for you to do without vehicles. ;o

Q u o t e:
Since vehicles do not benefit from our stats, the encounter will be identical from the first time to the 10th time to the 100th time its run. If i go run Heroic UK now and compare to the experience i did when i was a fresh 80... it will be much different, vehicle/mount combat does not reflect it.

There is repetition and than there is repetition.

From Daelo, our lead encounter designer:

Q u o t e:
Actually, the effectiveness of the vehicles in the Flame Leviathan fight changes depending on the quality of the gear. So someone in full Naxxramas epics (or Ulduar epics!) will have an easier time than someone in greens.
