Recycling Old Content.... That's a no no.

I did and it said "Normal mode not available. Heroic mode (5 man)
Zul'gurub
only available". Or something just like that. I'm guessing it's a copy and paste they used until they retype it.Bolded there. But did you go to Ghostlands and join up with a random person to make a raid and go into Zul'Aman to confirm that it was gone? Yes, for ZG there is only a heroic version, as the zone itself is now part of the STV quest line; they didn't put the normal one back in.

They could do that with original 5-man content, though. It doesn't require them to take old things, dust them off, inject a little bit of new stuff, and call it a day.
...isn't that what Cataclysm is all about? It's revamping old, boring content. I, for one, am
very
excited about this, as I wasn't able to raid in vanilla or BC, and I'd really like to see the content without rofl-stomping it.

Yeah, because ZG and Za will be the same old bosses with higher damage/health just like DM and SFK, oh wait...
I think we should wait until we see ourselves the "recycled content" before making conclusions.

Actually I have had about 15-20 friends quit after they announced the new ZA and ZG
At the rate people claim their 15-20 friends are quitting due to X, this game would be unpopulated by now.
ZA/ZG aren't really recycled in the sense that SFK and DM are not recycled. New trash, new bosses, its only the environment that remains the same.
When people say that they just mean themselves and
maybe
1 or 2 other people, but the other people lie and continue to play lol, I've seen that scenario quite a few times.

Meh, I'm not getting up in arms and quitting by any means but I agree with the the underlying basis of what the OP is getting at. Look at the tremendous amount of b***ching and moaning that was done over original Naxx being turned into Naxx2.0 first raid of wrath, and now Cata is very centered on remaking vanilla, I do prefer new content to revamped content but like i said, not really killing my fun either way.

Probably because so many people wanted ZB back that they just put that in first.

There is a difference between Naxx2.0 and dungeons like DM2.0, ZG2.0 or SFK2.0. In WotLK, Naxxramas had the same bosses with the same mechanics as during Vanilla, whereas the revamped 5-mans of Cataclysm had brand-new bosses with new mechanics.

Aye, there as a reason why people rejoiced when they heard about DM and SFK. The places are very different and take full advantage of Blizzard's technology.
<3 the Vanessa VanCleef fight.

Aye, the three Amigos of SFK are interesting fights....even if they nerfed poor Ashbury into the ground, he's
almost
a sleepwalk fight right now.
I've yet to see anyone say 'Oh patch 4.1 is reusing things! Time to quit the game!'
Well you don't see things because your head is in other places.../raise eyebrow I really wish I knew what I did to you....if I'm going to be attacked/insulted, I prefer to know the reason why.
Bottom line, this expansion is shaping up to be a giant rehash of old content. Blizzard fangirls will love it and dog on anyone who has a problem with it.And to that I give the standard response: If you don't like the way the game is going, just stop paying Blizzard the money each month and find another past time.
Seriously, if it aggravates people that much, they make much better impacts to Blizzard by stopping the subscription then creating QQ threads about the fact that, because we've gone back to the old world for the new expansion, things that were old are becoming new. So far, from what has been said about ZG and ZA, it will be ZA that is similar to the original version, with a few new fight mechanics. ZG is going to be like SFK and DM; new bosses to fight as it's continuing the end of the quest in the phased ZG from STV.

Chill out. Yes I really did just say that.
Bottom line, this expansion is shaping up to be a giant rehash of old content.
Along with lots of new content added. People don't realize it, because the zones are split up, but there are as many major Cata zones as there were Lich King.
Cata = Vash'jir, Hyjal, Uldum, Deepholme, Twilight Highlands.
Wrath = Howling Fjord, Borean Tundra, Dragonblight, Icecrown, Storm Peaks and Sholazar Basin. Wrath had one more original zone than Cata.
And Cata redid EVERY. VANILLA. ZONE. That's a LOT of new content. Sure, the landscape may be the same for some, but a lot of zones are
completely
different, with new phasing, new questlines, new landscape and environments and the like.
Blizzard fangirls will love it and dog on anyone who has a problem with it.
While I am not a girl, I will be angry at people who very clearly haven't played Cataclysm to it's full extent before raging on it.

Instead of complaining that you can't farm ZG to make money, why don't you just go farm Molten Core?

Do people read patch notes? The reaids are being rereleased with...wait for it...UPDATED CATA STORYLINES.
I cannot count how many people complained on not having a troll based raid or instance when cata was released. And now that they get one, they flip flop and whine.
Please, just stop. If you dont like it, leave. I for one did not get to do ZG or ZA extensively, and will welcome the chance to see what their all about. Did you think of that one? That some new players or hardened veterans may want a good old throw back?
Nay, you only think of your wants.
