Nice of Blizzard to screw over casual raiders

[Kevin]

So, plan like it has always been this way, from the beginning. We are getting to the point where, at least, it seems like we have little to no trouble with the beginning mobs of MC -- dedicate a skip week to allow those beginning bosses of the various instances. You can have a week where you have an instance that starts on x day for whatever purpose, and you have to work around it. Maybe we have 3 weeks of normal play, then 1 week of a skip week where on the specified day, we do the very specific portion of an instance. For instance, doing the beginning of MC on a Monday evening. Or on a Saturday. Then the rest of the people who can attend whenever will be able to do whatever they want with the rest of the raid lock -- be it trash loots or whatever.

I'm just saying  that this is how it is, no amount of complaining is going to really change it. Instead of grousing about what is, try and change the viewpoint to look at it in another light. If anything, this just means we can coordinate more efforts on very specific pieces of instances.

And do you realize the number of people in the guilds that think we raid to much? In order to do this we would have to have raids on Wednesdays or Tuesdays to get the things set up for the Thursday people. In order to still allow people access to the raiders to help them with lower level stuff that means we drop a Monday or Saturday out completely so the part time raiders are still losing a day.

We can work with and we are planning with it. We aren't all just grousing. But for out group this new set-up can never be as nice as it is for us now. You can't do it. We have worked hard to try and get things set-up so that everyone in the guilds can have an opportunity to play the game how they like. The raids aren't just set-up to make the raiders happy we are trying to keep the non raiders happy as well.

I'm also trying to keep most of my grousing to the threads on the official forums in the hopes that Blizzard wakes up and changes their minds on this. My complaint here was that I know no matter what we do we are going to to hurt Treesh's raiding time in some way. I was letting people know that because of this and my priorities that this change will also adversely affect the amount of time I will be raiding because playing WoW with Treesh is what we do. Other couples go out to movies or dinner or parties with their friends. Treesh and I get more enjoyment out of playing WoW together than out of those other options most of the time. Treesh will not enjoy the effort and time that goes into raiding if it drops from 4 to 5 times a month to 2 to 3 times a month or if her raiding time is always seeing the same thing. Since I still don't see a solution that gives 4 to 5 raid days a month to all our part time people without putting them in the same content all the time or adversely affecting the non raiding population there is a good chance her choice will not be to raid on Thursdays. That means I will probably not raid on Thursdays so that I still have that WoW playing time with her.

But again most of what I have said here is on the official boards where it is more appropriate. Quark put a thread up http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.a...ThreadID=240784 on those boards just for that as a matter of fact.
