Quote:Time isn't the issue here.
I meant simply that once people have invested a lot of time with things set up a certain way (say, 40 player raids) it naturally becomes difficult to change things without causing lots of hurt feelings. Had your 40-person raid team had been going for one week it surely wouldn't be too difficult to trim it down to 25, so in that respect time is the issue here. (This explanation provides no consolation to you in your situation, I understand.)
Of course, I have a completely different and irrelevant beef with the way WoW is designed as a massive time-sink, leading players on down an endless electronic path, lured by the promise of better stuff at the end of it. I don't believe MMORPGs have to be that way, and no doubt you don't have to play them that way if you don't want to; but the concept worked for EQ, and it has worked even better for WoW.
Quote:my girlfriend is the second tank, and it very good friends with the main tank. If we do 2 raid groups, they'd be forced into separate groups regardless of their wishes, which would likely make the game less enjoyable to both
Well then, whatever you do, my advice is not to put both your main tank and your second tank in the opposite group to the one you're in. (j/k.:P)
