Not complaining...It should not be a faceroll, being the last raid in 
the expansion....it was just amusing.  Mechanics though, should be 
simple enough that communication / explanation of your role is obvious 
without the need for long, drawn out explanations.  Yes, people should 
do their homework before, but many in LFR do not.  They just rely on 
either someone explaining the fight before hand, figuring it out on 
their own over several wipes, or dying and getting carried through, 
eventually figuring it out over the next weeks or 2...or 3 or 4....

Queued up for the 1st and 2nd again last night (thank you multi-raid 
queue!) to see which I got picked for first...After 45 minutes, I got 
the 2nd raid again right where I left off - a first attempt on the 2nd 
boss.  Took 3 attempts and we got him down.  Not bad when most knew what 
the idea was and the tanks moved the tanking spot to the open area to 
the right where people could move a bit to avoid stuff, yet still have 
the fence and wall behind them for the blast back.   Got 3 attempts on 
the 3rd boss before the group broke up.  Waited 25 minutes with 10 
people and still had no replacements come in before I left.  We wiped on 
the trash after going into Org itself once as the tank tried to pull to 
many of the groups.  As per what seems the norm on this expansion, there 
seemed to be unending trash on the way to the third boss inside 
Org.....reminds me almost of the second part of ToT after you down the 
turtle, the trash getting to the snake boss.  You have to clear enough 
trash from the area inside the gates of Org to fight the boss.  This 
involved my group clearing the trash outside (which is a lot), then 
pulling the groups from inside the AH, the Inn, and other buildings.  It 
could be that the tank could have been over cautious and just didn't 
want a wipe during the boss fight be some absent minded player wandering 
too close to a building and accidentally pulling mobs, which are tough 
boogers.... I foresee this in the future as a potential problem when the 
instance becomes "routine" and some tanks will choose to forgo clearing 
any more than they have to, which will lead to a bitchfest in raid chat 
when the raid wipes because a heals or ranged dps pulled mobs...

Something similar....while waiting for a replacement team during my 
wasted 25 minutes, I went exploring and rode south out of Org....You hit 
a invisible wall.  The wall is set up as a square that exactly matches 
your large map when you open it.... I rode around it and too the south 
you can see further, just can't move any closer.  To the west, it was 
interesting...it was the same in that you just see what was there and 
not get there, but when you turned to come back I found myself engulfed 
in a red fog and feared I glitched into something.  Could not see 
anything no matter where I went, like a fog or war, but red, even when I 
retraced my steps.  I quickly popped open my mini map and aimed the 
pointer at Org and ran that way.  After a few seconds everything 
materialized around me.  So what do I do after I breathe a sigh of 
relief that everything was fine?  I turn around and run back to see if 
it would do it again....lol.   What a morooon.  :)   "Hey this fire is 
hot and I got burned...If I touch it again, I wonder if I'll get 
burned...yup...How about now? Ouch..  "  :)

So it sounds similar...Just a red fog that matches the landscape of that 
crappy city....I mean Org... :)

Think I'm just going to run the 1st part tonight....Heard it had gotten 
better/easier as people got comfortable with it..
