Yeah, emphasis on always.
I love what Blizzard did in WotLK because I don't feel like spending 5 nights per week farming mats and raiding to get to new content and mastering it.
I don't want to spend 3 weeks getting Kael down. Bet it was great to down him, but it sure as hell isn't worth 3 weeks of wiping.
Even if I found a guild with good players and without the shitty holier than thou attitude, I still dont want to have a 90% raid attendance in order to get loot/not get kicked.
If you have a guild without huge shitheads that easily downs Sarth+3D, Maly under 6 mins etc and that raids 3 times per week where you can raid 1 of those times and get loot, well, congrats you found the holy grail of WoW guilds.
Blizzard is appealing to 90%+ of it's userbase with these changes, unlucky for you you were at the wrong end. You can still flex your e-peen with Immortal and Twilight Vanquisher titles.
