They shouldn't let us see the deathwing fight. That's what I loved about ICC; they never let US test the lich king, they just let us test every other boss. I know I don't have to test him, but IMHO, it'd be a lot better if they just tested the big guy themselves, and let us test every other boss.

I'm not a fan of it either, but with how unique and different the mechanics are supposed to be for his encounters I can't imagine any good would come from Blizz not testing those fights on a public server before hand.

They didn't let us test Sinestra, and that led to people at Blizzard literally having to sit there and make adjustments/hotfixes on the fly as the first guild to attempt it discovered major bugs like, "Oh, our Death Knight almost accidentally one shot her with Dark Simulacrum."

I don't think it's fair to ask Blizzard to forgo their quality control -- and be forced to be "on call" and ready 24/7 for whenever a guild does reach Deathwing to monitor it as they fight -- just so that the first few guilds who reach them can feel like it's a mystery.

Especially when those guilds will then turn around and post the exact same videos that you wanted the rest of the population protected from anyway.
