This...My guild will probably only ever do 10 mans. This is for two reasons:<BR/><BR/>1. I only really roll with enough "dedicated" raiders to fill out a 10 man. We're just not that large, but we have that baker's dozen of guys who want to progress with their friends. 10 man content is great for us.<BR/><BR/>2. I have a crap internet connection. 25 man boss fights lag me right offline. Not a good thing for your main tank.<BR/><BR/>ZA was a pain for us. Very challenging. We weren't able to do a full clear pre-nerf, and that's not a bad thing - it gave us something to work on.<BR/><BR/>At the same time, I sort of hated that instance - not because of the difficulty, but just because the whole theme and atmosphere was lousy, IMO. Troll culture and lore does nothing for me. Just a personal preference, I guess.Franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18075092999168430214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447696515875518406.post-34519980881383487212009-01-12T16:49:00.000-05:002009-01-12T16:49:00.000-05:00Kararamas is too hard to spell so clearly it shoul...Kararamas is too hard to spell so clearly it should be Naxxazan.<BR/><BR/>I'm interested to see how it all plays out. I agree that it's likely to be a rude awakening for casual guilds just as ZA was too. <BR/><BR/>What I've found most interesting about this process though is that Maylgos 25 is easier than 10. Sartharion 25 is easier than 10 too. We may find that in the future, the truly hardcore guilds will be the 10-man ones if the 10-man hard-modes continue to present more challenging encounters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447696515875518406.post-84168229192605248422009-01-12T15:10:00.000-05:002009-01-12T15:10:00.000-05:00I agree 100%.

I, too, was skeptical about the same content being offered for 10 and 25 man raids, but Blizzard actually tuned it really well as far as its rewards. Naxx 25 picks up where 10 left off. The same goes for Malygos and Sartharion. Overall, looking back, I am glad they offered the same content in both version. The 10 man just provided me a playground to get use to the encounters so we could progress quicker in 25 mans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
