Still .. repairs (and other gold based costs) are the only price you pay to fail (and a smaller price for success, offset a bit by gold from bosses). You don't pay with exp loss (which was something you couldn't just buy, but we managed in EQ), or whatever. To me, buying gold for your repairs is like saying "I want a picnic dammit" and then wanting to pay people to: buy the food, cook it, prepare it, wrap it up in the basket, set up the picnic, clean up after you, dispose of trash, and put stuff away. Why is it unreasonable to think you should be required to spend time in-game doing things besides raiding to allow you TO raid?
Let's face it: people in positions such as yourself are privledged when it comes to warcraft. Take my roommate for example. The guy wasn't that great, and had crap gear. By some miracle he got into the #1 alliance guild on my server (I guess they were low on summon bitches). When he got in, I think he had 1 epic (from AV no less) while I had like 4-5 from MC/pvp. Fast forward less than 2 months. He's now almost completely decked out in Tier 1 or better (usually much, MUCH better). I think he's got over half of his Nemesis set at least.
And it sickens me. He didn't work for it. It was fucking spoon fed to him. He was DEFAULTED the majority of his epics. I put in twice the time in pvp (I won't derail into pvp vs pve .. I pvp because I enjoy it) than he does in his elitest cock-monger guild and the dude has better overall equipment than my rogue and hunter combined.
So yes, raid repairs (and other gold costs) are heavy, but that doesn't make them bad. Explain why grinding a couple horus
PER WEEK is an unreasonable task. Obviously you don't like it or enjoy it. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be forced.
