I spent about an hour after we finished wiping to Razorgore the other night discussing possible strategies with people and I enjoyed it very much. Some people might see this time as us approaching a raiding mass; I've seen it as a confirmation of my fears that the people in Lurkers just aren't raid oriented. Whether you want to face that truth or not (I tried to deny it for a long time myself) it is there for all to see.

How can I hold a grudge against you for this. What have I been doing with my holding off to run DM West or LBRS or getting mad at being "hand held"? I want to get a chance to do this as well, but I level slower so I don't get to do it with you now. That sucks, but I can't hold a grudge for you wanting to do it.
I can't find the quote from someone (I think it was Skan) saying he wants to see it before it is nerfed to hell. I'm regretting some of my lack of effort to get to some of this content on my own terms as well now so that I could figure out the hard stuff on my own too. I don't know if I ever saw the original scholo, but I got to see some of the nerfs that were put in there in the last patch last night. I'm disappointed. Much of the challenge is removed. In some cases some of the stuff that was removed wasn't a challenge though, it was simply a time drain or another group just like the last 5 groups you just did. The only challenge is not messing up and letting a runner get away or something. Those changes are fine but some of the others disappoint me.
Lurkers does foster my play style people have worked with me and acted like it was a first run of a place and I had a blast with it even when we wiped and I thank you again. But yeah people only have so much time. So how can you be doing that for me and running a blood raid or be in Molten Core or BWL at the same time for the people who leveled faster, or trying out a new group composition that you've never done in Maraudon to get that new experience or play with people you haven't yet.
So yeah, I've said some of this before already. But I can see why people are mad, I can see why people want to leave. I'm not sure we can be everything for everyone and the effort to do so may not be worth it. I would like to see people who are feeling frustrated about something say a bit more about it. The "drama" threads sure seem to get a lot of posts, and I know they have helped me at times get more enjoyment out of the game. The interaction of people is as much a part of an MMO strategy discussion as is the merits of shield slam vs heroic strike, or how this paladin build might work out in PvE 5 man situations.
