Some people think raiding is mind-numbingly boring. I mean, gosh, I rather go on an airplane flight than raid, and flying is soul destroyingly boring. Yeah it was fun the first few times, but I honestly think people who raid 2-3 times a week have brain damage. There I said it, it had to be said.
Grouping can be fun... but it can get boring too. How many pick up groups have I been on where somebody insists on parsing the fight for every trash mob? lots. Tell you what, to a person like me, it gets old fast.
There really should be some kind of repeatable solo progression just like the heoric shard system. I'm not saying I deserve to wear legendary equipment... but there should be SOMETHING I can continually spend shards on and work towards. Call them unsociable shards, I don't care... give me something though.
Who cares if someone parses every trash fight? Maybe they are trying out a new spec or a new casting order or something, what affect does it really have on you? Why would something as small as that have any affect on your enjoyment of the instance? I seriously can not see how someone posting a parse of every fight would matter at all to anyone else in the group unless that particular person lets it get to them (in which case its your own [Removed for Content] fault for being so easily [Removed for Content] off).
Raiding can be boring at times, but the vast majority of people do it for the social aspects of it. If your not into hanging around with other people then yeah, I can see how you would think raiders are braindead.
What I don't get is... why do soloers think that the answer to a lack of solo progression is in the ability to obtain heroic rewards solo? would not the addition of solo content with its own rewards be more appropriate?
(FYI, that is exactly what the game is getting in GU#52)
sorry.. I meant to imply that these solo shards can have access to a totally different set of items, i.e. non legendary items.
As far as the parsing goes... it's just hard to keep track of the conversation when you got to scroll that much. And yeah, it is irritating to me. You right it shouldn't be, but people who parse trash mobs every single fight irritate me.
