From a guild management point of view, this is going to be.... interesting? I think that's the word I'm looking for, but I'm really not sure.
Consider the guild in which I am the Druid officer, Divinus of Thunderhorn. On a 40-man raid night, we'll have anywhere from 35-45 online at startup time. Great number of people to do a 40-man raid. I don't see us growing too much larger, and I also don't see us cutting back. With the new caps, we stand to have anywhere from 10-20 people sitting outside unable to raid at formup time, with more trickling in later.
We could grow a bit and then form two 25-man raids that night, but I don't see any good reason to spread the "talent," so to speak. The goal will be progress, and spreading up the A-Team players doesn't accomplish that. However at the same time, I doubt anyone will want to completely abandon Naxxramas, so we're back to raiding with 40.
Brings up lots of questions, and for some reason I see the self-proclaimed "casual" players lauding it. If the number of AQ20 and ZG runs are any good indication, I don't forsee a lot of pickup BC raids for quite some time.
Lots to digest.
Oh, and by the way, anyone find any screenshots of the Draeni war elephants? I've got 700some stacks of runecloth in waiting...
