Quote:Take Avarice, for example. Even if we were crazy enough to move Kara into our progression track on the theory that we'd need as many badges as possible...that'd only take some of us 1/2 of a night (2 hours) and a couple others possibly four hours. Then we are left with 2 more raiding nights. Our progress would be slowed due to the loss of a night, but it wouldn't be stopped.
Yes, the need to farm badges would slow progression. What would stop it would be the realization (and although inertia will keep some raid groups going for a while, this will come eventually) that you are spending time and money wiping and learning for no reward.
If you can hold together over that, grats. But over the long run, the majority of groups will not.
