It's both encouraging and depressing to know you feel the same way.<br /><br />I don't mind 10s on my priest but healing as a paladin I have always felt like the odd man out. Paladins - even with holy radiance - are still too specialized to compare with the versatility of the other healers. Oh, even thinking about it reminds me I've been qqing about specializations since before Cataclysm. Anyways. Like you, my heart is in large group raids. There's something about 20+ people coming together to work towards a common goal.enlynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04113088007518211865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123785171085674237.post-12514445321658289242011-12-27T18:50:58.390-06:002011-12-27T18:50:58.390-06:00I took one look at my own holiday schedule and can...I took one look at my own holiday schedule and cancelled four raids (came close to calling a fifth) way ahead of time. I'm on break and don't go back until the 3rd of January and I'm enjoying the time off.<br /><br />I miss raiding, because we're poised to start hard modes, but I don't miss it as much as I thought I might. (Getting Skyrim for Christmas might have something to do with this...)<br /><br />I fear that MoP will be the end of most 25s, as well. My guild is one of the last 25s on the server and we are server 1st (25m) by, well, default. I'll take the ranking, but I'm disappointed in the lack of competition. And it's a shame, because I LOVE 25-man raiding and I always have. (Heck, I loved 20-mans and 40-mans, too, but 10s leave me cold.)<br /><br />I fear for the future of WoW and I wonder where my own passion has gone. You're certainly not the only one.Kurnhttp://kurn.apotheosis-now.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123785171085674237.post-15470949703833512032011-11-12T13:16:13.567-06:002011-11-12T13:16:13.567-06:00Congratulations all around!Congratulations all around!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123785171085674237.post-66242038568952180742011-11-01T15:35:46.367-05:002011-11-01T15:35:46.367-05:00Thank you for your encouragement and support, guys...Thank you for your encouragement and support, guys!

Some other players may not like it, I myself enjoyed the satisfaction that came from killing a boss after weeks of wipes but in the end that is a preference. That is an expectation of raiding to a degree however. If a new boss goes down every week people will run out of stuff to raid very fast and grow bored, which is just as bad as fatigue from wiping. People's tolerance for wiping on bosses and learning from it has dwindled, and that is not the fault of the players. I think Blizz has realized fast and furious raiding with fast and furious rewards is not a pace that they can keep up with.<br /><br />The raiding fatigue threshold years ago was much higher also because, I believe, there was a lot of other distractions to do in the game. The distractions could be unfun, they could be meaningless, and they might not even be something worth doing, but having those extra possibilities, knowing that you could take a short break whenever kept people from feeling like a slave to the raid.<br /><br />With everyone working on the same tier of raiding and a lack of other "stuff" at 85 the only thing to look forward to is that next boss going down, and if that doesn't happen regularly fatigue sets in. The nerfs are only bringing to light problems that have been present for some time now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123785171085674237.post-73821037647390467022011-09-23T22:31:22.330-05:002011-09-23T22:31:22.330-05:00Allow me to offer a different take:
When people g...Allow me to offer a different take:<br /><br />When people get stuck, they quit. I knew Cataclysm was trouble when I had to sit raiders I'd used in SWP because they couldn't swing T11 heroics. My initial 25 man guild crumbled because Cataclysm was just too much of a grind. Tier 11 took forever. Random dungeons took forever. Fishing 10,000 fish from pools took forever. Farming herbs for flasks took forever. RNG coupled with difficulty (Al'Akir and Nef, I'm looking at you) just killed us. Needless to say, we lost people shortly before T12 was released.<br /><br />We reformed into a 10 man for 4.2. Things were fine for 4 weeks, but our progress slowed and then stopped. I'm pretty sure people dropped quickly due to T11 fatigue. Once progress stopped for a month, people stopped showing up. The nerfs magically brought them back, but the signs are clear: We won't survive until 4.3 or at least for into it.<br /><br />For those who are unhappy with the nerfs, I suggest doing the nerfed Rag in ilvl 350 gear. There are challenges to be found if one is willing to look for them. The problem is that in a group game, not everyone seeks them. The problem that hasn't hit Enlynn's guild...yet.Sussnoreply@blogger.com
