There is many guilds out there that have members capable of clearing the raid zones, but dont have the time to commit to 5 hours of learning/clearing. The old T5 zones was really ideal in that they could be done in less than 1 hour and replacements could be brought in for those that had to leave in between instances. Now they made all zones HUGE, making it so that learning takes many hours and for a hardcore raid guild learning the entire zone will take a few weeks, maybe a month or two. But for the more casual guild this takes months and months, just because they cannot commit to the 5 hours + each night, and for them to actually reach content that they need to learn takes up most of their time.
For the Hardcore guilds there is still the contested content that many if not all casual guilds dont even bother with since they are timed and camped by these guilds, imo this is where the hardcore and casual raid guilds are split.
I loved the old T5 instances, they were fast and several could be done in a night, that goes for group and raid zones, time was hardly ever an issue, I wish we would see more like that.
