Ok. You are still having to group with an extra player to qualify for a raid instance, right?

Who else thinks the beetles are adorable in a weird way? :3

They definitely are! I didn't really have any desire to tame one after they were found, but in beta I went to test one out for the heck of it and was surprised by how much personality and charm they have. Now I'm going to have to get one in Cataclysm. :lol: I love their idle animations.

I just wanted to confirm that I wasn't misreading the instance description about it being a raid - like yourself I prefer doing everything solo, so I was hoping I wouldn't have to get someone to group and disconnect to form a raid.

That's all.

I had to drop 100 feet into lava and died within about 3 seconds to get this pic. I'll think this over and try to come up with a plan to solo one.
If red beetles are only available from here, then all of a sudden I want one! Epic tames ftw!

Would it be possible for the daring red beetle tamer to jump down, summon a spirit beast for the heal, dismiss beastie, summon corehound, cast puppy lust, dismiss/abandon puppy, then tame uber-fast? (Maybe just the corehound part...)

That's an impressive piece of work :) I looked at the map and decided they looked like they were too far in to reach without a raid group and raid gear, so I didn't bother looking ;)
