Mount Hyjal is a strange place. You kill two sets of bosses and then the surrounding towns get burned anyway. Next, you get to this big demon guy with an enormous codpiece and you see him sucking harmony and immortality right out of a giant tree that supposedly connects the heavens to the earth. And, of course, what does he do when you go tap him on the shoulder and politely ask him to stop greedily slurping the very life force out of old Azeroth? He starts burning the ground before you and making you scurry about in a way Gruul never could.
Now, when you're trying to deal with this unfortunate situation, there is no variety to his tactics, it's just the same thing over and over. You die repeatedly, and then come back for more. After 40 deaths, you start to say to yourself, screw the pretty forest, burn it all down and build your demon condos and your Wal-Marts. You think: I could be nursing a huge pint of beer at Brewfest with a hot beareded dwarf man or woman. But then you think of all the little birds and leaves and Fort and Bruug begin to sing "The hills are alive with the sound of..." You mute vent, and say to yourself, no, let's do this. Again. And again. And again. Then, little by litte, you figure out how it works and how to stay alive. Time stretches. You lose count. And suddenly...it happens. He runs away and all the wisps come to finish him off. They thank you for your efforts, and leave you with a giant codpiece and some rather large pauldrons on the ground.
You just saved the forest! You find yourself hugging the nearest tree and, without thinking, begin cleaning up all the raid trash you dropped. Then the realization sinks in: Illidan and Archimonde are both dead! Collateral Damage has cleared T6 and saved the virtual environment along the way.
It's been a long, hard road from HKM to the corpses of Illidan and Archimonde, but we've all had a ton of fun along the way. What more is there to say, except WOOT! Grats CD!

Boss kills. Purple shineys. Our people are addicted to them. Their dependence made manifest after Maulgar was destroyed and the guilds were merged. Welcome to the future, Illidan...a pity you're too late to stop us. No one can stop us now. Selama ashal'anore n00bsauce. (That's Elvish for we pwned your ass...in tuxedos!)
Grats CD!
