Quote:Raiding is a team sport. What you do in raids, you do for the 'team' you are with. There are no "heros" in endgame raiding, but there are a ton of team accomplishements...Whenever I think that a 40-man raid is a team sport, I try to compare it to a real-world sport -- and I fail. Basketball, hockey, football, and baseball have at most 11 people (per team) on the field at once (and they often have dedicated *teams* of coaches/managers). Maybe it can be compared to a symphony -- where it's hard to pinpoint indivual players, but the success of the whole is identifiable.
