New 'Content'??

Nethaera, will there be any new content for people who don't raid 5-7 days a week for more than 5 hours a day?

I'm sure a guild or two on every server will be happy to see the Black Temple being added, but what about the other 99.9999% of the people playing WoW? Also, why was the Black Temple a priority as opposed to any number of problems and/or issues the vast majority of people have shared on various forums?

It really doesn't seem like blizzard has its priorities in the right place >.<

Edit:

I apologize, I didn't do a good job of fully explaining my request to Nethaera regarding 'new content'. I had originally formed the question thinking people would understand that I was refering to 'raid & instances' versus generic rep content. My bad.

I was just curious as to whether there would be any new instances for people who aren't hardcore raiders, as opposed to simply adding incredibly high end content for a very tiny portion of the WoW player base.

I read the new PTR notes when they were released and am well aware of the new rep grinding zones bllizard wants casuals to spend their time with; so there's no need to leave inane remarks pointing out the obvious.

From the PTR notes here: PTR Patch 2.1.0 Notes

Druid Epic Flight Form Introduced

The Druid Epic flight form will be available through a series of quests, similar to the Warlock and Paladin Epic mount quests before it. This quest series will also open up a new boss in Sethekk Halls, and ultimately lead to the epic flight form.

Ethereum Prison

Players in good standing with the Consortium will be tasked to deal with the most recent activities of the nefarious Ethereum. With new quests, items, and content for the solo and small-group level 70 player, the Ethereum Prison will be the proving grounds for many aspiring to greatness.

Skettis

The Skyguard, Sha’tari warriors specializing in their command of the skies above Shattrath, have taken the offensive directly to the Arakkoa capital city, Skettis. Perched high in the mountains of Terrokar, and only accessible with use of a flying mount, Skettis holds new and exciting content for the solo or small-group level 70 player. All new quests, 5-person bosses, rare and epic items, and a new type of flying mount await those willing to lend their sword or stave to the battle.

Nether Drake

The Netherwing faction and quest line continues and the long awaited Nether Drake becomes available. The Nether Drake is a special 280% speed epic flying mount that is obtainable through solo and small-group play. The quest to obtain one will be difficult, but the reward will surely show your dedication to the Netherwing cause as you soar through the skies of Outland on your very own ethereal drake.

Ogri’la

The ogre plateau of enlightenment opens to those who prove their worth in Blade’s Edge Mountains. Level 70 players will be able to help the ogres of Ogri’la battle invading forces and engage in new and exciting quests, such as a repeatable and ever popular bombing-run, this time using your own flying mount but with a dangerous twist! Featuring tons of new quests, the Ogri’la faction, 5-person bosses, and rare and epic items, Ogri’la is a place we’re hoping all will aspire to enter.

The Ruins of Lordaeron Arena


For those combatants engaging in the Steamwheedle Cartel’s gladiatorial combat, an arena nestled within the Ruins of Lordaeron has been added to the mix of venues. Players taking part in either rated battles or skirmishes may now find themselves battling for glory within the new arena.

Nice carpet bombing there Neth. I see what you did there :D


I like bombing runs. They are fun and repeatable to boot!
