I would like to disagree with Stabs. At least in regards to the matureness – or rather the nature of it. Lately i’ve spend many hours in low’ish level dungeons, and the players have not been mature in regards to age/knowledge of the game, but have been very mature in their use of party chat.

Maybe I’ve just been lucky compared to Cata. Next week will tell, im planning to start pvp’ing then

I’m thinking the lack of drama may signify a maturing community. While that’s good news for the players it may not be good news for the franchise which depends on a large influx of clueless newbies and brash brittle achievement-mongers.

I’ve written before that OMG NUUB Y U NO HAEL? behaviour is the second phase of newbyness, where you’ve gleaned enough knowledge to believe you’re doing your job right so failures must be because of other people.

At least there are still Death Knights proudly waving the second phase noob banner!

Anti-magic Zone only affects raid and party members. Ant-magic shell only affects the DK. Neither spell will affect your success of Mass Dispel on enemy targets. What likely happened is if your group didn’t CC two of the three healer mobs, one probably reapplied the group buff immediately after you dispelled it, and given the cooldown on Mass Dispel, good luck keeping up with two mobs.

See http://www.wowhead.com/spell=51052 and http://www.wowhead.com/spell=48707 for details on the DK abilities.

I had a good laugh about the anti magic shield story. I've so been there before.
