said by Energystream:How did it compare in terms of grind though?
Someone mentioned Hydraxian Waterlords, but if you raided in Vanilla it wasn't aweful.
I didn't start playing until WotLK, and didn't get round to Thorium Brotherhood or Hydraxian Waterlords until Cataclysm. By then Thorium Brotherhood had had the nerf and you got the quest hand in items via Molton Core too. The furbolds in the tunnel also got nerfed around the same time, I did 50% at slow pace and the other 50% with the nerf.
I can imagine Hydraxian Waterlords was a bad grind, even at level. The trash only give XP to a certain point and then it's a chore. Even with full clears each week it took me an age, and I can't see many guilds managing to clear the place week in week out with any great consistancy at level. Moving through the core was also a bind, long walk to first 2 bosses then a long walk to the next ones. It got better then, but the last few again involved some dodgy walking, before having to walk all the way back to Ragnaros. To compound my hatred for this grind Blizz then decide to adds pets to the bosses AFTER I hit exalted.
