The Midsummer Fire Festival has come and gone. And to me it was rather lackluster. I had already honored and desecrated all the fires last year, so thanks to the bug that never reset them I had majority of the Achievements done already. I just need to wait for a hot fix so I could honor/desecrate to earn the Burning Blossoms needed to purchase the set needed for Burning Hot Pole Dance. After that I was pretty much done with the Festival. It was nice to have around because I used the XP bonus buff to finish leveling my Shaman, but otherwise it was just meh.
I digress. I had meant to get Ahune on farm everyday in hopes of picking up the rare drop pet Scorchling. However, there really wasn't any other incentive, therefore groups were hard to come by. I would hop on Drappe, put myself in LFG and watch as 1 or 2 people kept asking for an Ahune farm group for the several hours I would play. I would take a break and come back later another couple hours later to find the same poor souls were still looking for an Ahune group. On a couple occasions I would then hop on Occeleta, my main achievement hunter, and try and form a group, usually to no avail. I was lucky enough to farm Ahune for one day, but mostly because it was 2 80's and several alts looking to pick up some gear.
My point is, don't you think maybe Blizzard should upgrade the Holiday bosses in order to provide some more incentive. It felt like Ahune was not really a big part of this years Fire Festival.
They should do something to keep the Holiday events interesting, rather than keeping the same ol' schtick every year. Maybe at the very least match the bosses to the current level cap with some appropriate gear, or maybe add an additional boss that only appears in Wrath Heroics for the 80's. Something to keep the events from going stale. Honestly, once I get What A Long, Strange Trip It's Been done I am possibly done with even looking at another holiday quest giver.
The new 5-man instances are FUN!

I dunno, I actually took the time to honor/desecrate fires on a few alts, but apart from easy gold, I normally skip all the holiday content. I did get a pumpkin bag on my paladin which I've used (yay free 18 slot bag!), but normally I just kind of want to play the game and ignore the holiday stuff.
