Mind you I don't mind having to work for the gear - but puhleeze, what is the fascination with requiring multiple groups of tricked out virtual Navy Seal commandos to tackle raid content. The current problem in a nutshell - "casual raid guild" is an oxymoron - discuss....
Apparently, you think every single raid guild on every single server has bought into some secret SOE policy that requires them to act like paramilitary units.
Either that, or you're wholly exaggerating, know full well you're exaggerating, & are kinda-sorta hoping people like me won't smell you out. OOPS! Too late!
In either event, let me say this: your paragraph, quoted above, is probably an accurate description of SOME raid guilds, but it's most definitely not true of ALL of them, & quite possibly isn't even true of most. But you've allowed yourself to buy into the anti-raider hype, & so you spit all over them, even the ones of whom you know absolutely nothing at all.
& that, sir, is very poor form, made even more so by your pathetic appeal to your "real life". Like I said to you earlier, I know quite a few people with real lives & real jobs & real families who play this game, some of whom actually manage to go raiding. Your "I have a real life" spew is a pure cop-out. Please find another excuse.
