Quote:Yet imagine a 10 man Illidan with the same difficulties you find in 25 man. How many people do you think would actually be there in 10 man that are there in 25 that really shouldn't be there in 25 man, but there is enough people to cover their inabilities to allow them to be there? 25 man has some leeway for slack, but 10 man (if made as difficult) wouldn't.
Just because organization may be easier, doesn't mean that the actual run would be easier.
That's not the point.
They are already easier to organize.
If they also make them easier to beat, people with less skill can join those 10-man runs as well.
That means they have two progression paths: One for 'hard core' players (i.e. players who have the time to commit to raiding often, and who have the skill to do so), and one for 'casual' players (i.e. players who lack either the time or the skill or both).
Really, Skandranon explained this already, and much better than I could.
