If I remember correctly the WoW "endgame" at launch was a cause of major backlash wasn't it? |
Wow has done some good things, but wow shouldn't be your goal take the good discard the bad. The trick is knowing which is which and is why some of the things you've said are a bit concerning.

You have to know where you've been to get to where you wanna go. All the things you listed are important but to say their experience or lack of knowledge of end game raiding isn't important seems a bit naive? If they were not clearing the content in a reasonable amount of time how do they know how the encounter really worked?

I don't think anyone will argue a persons talent based on experience but with a lack of experience or someone around with that experience to "guide" them how many mistakes will they make along with all those good ideas?
I'm an admitted fanboi so i'll try your game regardless but some comments here show a lack of long term thinking or internal naivety that you guys know everything you need to know. Getting knowledge from outside sources and the idea of talented people pulling from the experience of a seasoned veteran should not be dismissed so easily. Hell I would even consider buy accounts that are up to par and sitting your guys down in a sunwell guild. Pretty sure they will be shocked at the difference between that and their za runs. This is a pretty cost effective way to get your guys some personal experience. By no means will they be an expert after a few weeks but it might open their eyes a bit.
Sorry to hear about the shoulder, thanks for all you did for the bean on and off the field.
