Firelands Raid Not Coming to World of WarCraft in Patch 4.1 -- Blizzard Instead Focusing on Smaller Patches

Firelands Raid Not Coming to World of WarCraft in Patch 4.1 -- Blizzard Focusing on Smaller Patches
According to World of Warcraft's lead producer, J. Allen Brack, The Firelands raid won't be available in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm's first large content patch as previously planned. In an interview with Eurogamer, Brack said,  "We feel like the player base isn't really ready for the next raid yet."
Players who raid in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game were a bit taken aback by the announcement, and forum rumblings tell a different story as it seems a lot of people are waiting very impatiently for a new raid tier to satisfy their hardcore interests. The Firelands will be a 10/25 man raid, now releasing with patch 4.2, located in Mount Hyjal where players will once again fight off the molten forces Ragnaros.
Brack also mentioned to Eurogamer that Blizzard intends to change how they release their patch content, saying, "Our plan is to package features into smaller content updates and release them as soon as possible, rather than wait and release larger updates more infrequently."
