Why?

Dear Blizzard,

As you may surmise from my topic, my curiousity is peaked toward the fact that I am not in ICC at the moment. It is Tuesday; a patch day, and thus I am not overly surprised that you missed 4 or 5 set completion goals. But what are we getting? A raid instance we can't go into; woohoo! A tweak to the Vote Kick feature?!?!?!?! And this Real ID thing so I can talk to my friends who play other games! Suh-weet! Oh wait......I don't really have a desire to talk to someone while I'm on WoW and they're on Starcraft or Diablo or whatever else you guys do. Plus there are these things called "cell phones"; think pretty much everyone over age 9 has them nowadays.

The guild I am in planned on starting a buckle-down session in raiding; we are certainly not an elitist bunch that has everything farmed but we were full of intent to bend Arthas and make him squeel like a Dwarf at a pedicure this week. Between our real life schedules and my birthday celebrations this week we had a tight schedule with everyone commited; just waiting on you.

As I said it's Tuesday and patch happens, but what exactly are we getting out of this.....?

Respectfully,
