That's admirable. It can also cause your raid group to completely stall.

You can't dictate drops, after all. To use the Wrath example, you might end up with four or five 2/8 tanks. Sure, eventually they'll get geared up, but if you keep farming the same place week after week, people start burning out. A lot of people never saw their T2 pants because MC had been farmed to death already and people wanted to move on.

You're talking to someone who never completed the Might set (6/8) or Wrath (7/8) which ran with a Alliance of guilds that saw maybe three sets of mage pants drop in MC. I know all about burn out. But I also know how painful a setback it can be to see your best geared warriors drop out.

I'd rather have slower progression than none at all if it hinges on one person being able to show up to every raid.
