I started wow solo then a few friends of mine joined up. We started a small guild with bout 15++ regulars. We were quite familiar with each other. We completed all the 5-15 man instances, we down a couple boss of ZG. We stop at that coz of attendance problem. We do pvp everyday also, sometimes solo sometimes group up 3-5 ppl join bg. After sometime we figure theres time to move on coz theres no more content for us. We moved to a new server, joined a bigger guild then raid all the way till BWL. I quited when the guild re-structure for more hardcore raiding. Frankly, i am not familiar with half/most of the ppl. And most of the time i feel like a routine job/work to attend raid. My real life activities affected. I feel myself burn up n i no longer enjoy the game. I am quite excited with the expansion now though

Thankfully Bliz has made the right decision to make 5-10 man instance gears quality a lot more close to the raid gears. Plus the Arena gears which is on par with the best raid gears. And i see most of the expansion contents are non-raiding. So, there's not much need to raid anymore as before

Someone posted at wow forum. And it was exactly how i feel the few days before i quited... This afternoon I joined a few guildmates to go run around in LBRS for the hell of it. And it reminded me why I used to like this game. I could actually kite things! My pet was useful again! Traps were a necessary part of CC! And I actually could put all of my classes abilities to use, something 40 man raids can't offer. We could approach the encounters with different strategies, try different stunts (rock on double traps!), and just relax. How I played mattered; I wasn't just DPS bot #15. I'd rather play the game for fun with a few friends then get thrown in a group with 39 other people who I've never met. I'd rather have the challenge come from the instance itself than from coordinating everyone's actions, schedules, updating dkp, and seething with frustration at the folks you're forced to bring along because you can't find 39 good players, or 20 for that matter. The purple color sentence is the epic point This post has been edited by EDK: Nov 4 2006, 07:00 PM

QUOTE(seen @ Nov 6 2006, 04:25 PM) Aye, we have an all female (yes, RL females) lv19 twink guild. We pwn...seriously. And then some guys in the guild got pissed off that we turned down their app (coz they're males pretending to be females) so they created another lv19 all female character twink guild and called themselves Teen Girl Squad. Not sure how well they're doing though since I kinda stopped playing on that server. That guy is juz GAY RL female wow players ftw!

Wah... the result getting closer Those who choose raid, if bliz gave the same quality of gears for 5-10 man instance & raiding instance and bliz also update the content for 5-10man & raiding instance at the same pace. Think of there's an equavalent askandi in 5/10 man inst/pvp.. Think of an equavalent of naxxramas 5/10 man style... Honestly do u still think u really enjoy raiding & will choose raiding instead of 5-10man instance? Do u really enjoy raiding or u actually juz want the raid gear or u have no choice but to raid to experience the contents...

QUOTE(Aggroboy @ Nov 10 2006, 07:10 PM) The way you say it, it's like saying what if a Badminton champion wins only bronze medal instead of gold medal?  Errr... i have to disagree on this logic. A badminton champ overcome a competitive human opponent where as raiders overcome simple AI with fixed fighting pattern. On the other side i don't think properly done 5-10 man instance will be easier than raiding instance. As a raider myself before, i would said even completing dire maul required more personal contribution, class skills & etc. QFT this again: "I'd rather have the challenge come from the instance itself than from coordinating everyone's actions, schedules, updating dkp, and seething with frustration at the folks you're forced to bring along because you can't find 39 good players, or 20 for that matter."
