....but these canned dungeon bosses are completely unsatisfactory. I want to see Ragnaros appear in Orgrimmar, and start destroying buildings and slaughtering noobs. I am going to be a sad panda if we don't see some serious world boss action with this pre-expansion event. I mean c'mon, we're talking about the unsettling of the main elemental planes, some nasty stuff has gotta get loose soon!
Part of the problem with things like that is that the servers tend to go boom and the entire game world converges on a single location. Plus, weird things happen with the models and such causing issues.
How do I know? Somebody asked a dev about this a few years ago and that is what they said.
Don't get me wrong, if I worked at Blizzard, you would get exactly what you just said, with huge bosses going through the cities killing everybody and dropping amazing phat lewt if killed.
Just give the dragon a 'zone block' power preventing people from entering the zone and write it into lore ffs.
So you'd have to be in the Zone when it happened to participate.

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.
