Quote:A week is too long for some people, while I've gotten one new item in the past two months (and it's still not even usable until we get further). But hey, I'm swimming in stuff, I live on easy-street where I put in no effort and get phat lootz.
I really don't want to diminish other player's concerns, there are problems with this game. I'm just tired of being treated like a loot-whoring jerk with too much time on my hands because I actually raid.
What we can't tell is how many hours of play that week is. I'd guess 20 or so, resulting in one decent epic item. I'm pretty sure you'd get better than that if you spent the same amount of time in MC or BWL with your guild on a new 60 alt.
I don't think you're a jerk at all. I recognise that later raids are a different level of difficulty to the first ones released; that you're able to enjoy yourself in that way does not diminish my experience. That little has been provided for smaller groups as raiding has grown from MC to Naxx does. The 1.10 chain is a start but that seems to be it before the expansion.
I'd like to see more playstyles supported. I'd like to be able to join a raid on occassion and not be a liability to my guild simply due to inability to obtain the necessary gear; I'd like to be able to take loot from raids and not trivialise the rest of the game. I'd like it to be an option rather than a lifestyle.
