I agree, the author proves they don't really believe anything they are writing when they trot out that "That will signal to other like-minded players that you aren't just a bunch of lazy slobs for whom putting together 25 players is too much work." Why did that even come up? Because he thinks that way.

I have done 25 and 10, and usually the 25 version is about 10 times easier. Because when people screw up it doesn't matter as much. Not only that but if you are ONLY geared from 10 man, then it makes everything harder. Going into Uld where everyone is in 213 gear is certainly easier than going in where everyone is in 200 gear, even if you're doing 10.

Certainly there are bosses that are harder in 25. But I haven't found that to be the case yet in naxx or the first section of uld. All 25 bosses should be harder, but they are not nearly hard enough to justify the better loot.

I'd much rather do 10 man with a core group of friends, but i find i pretty much have to do the much easier 25s, to get the better loot. i barely have to try. I do of course, but it is frustrating to be able to progress so much quicker while doing things that are so much easier. I feel like I'm cheating or taking a shortcut when I do 25s.

And yes in 10 man we've spent all night wiping and come back for more. one group is not more dedicated than the next. It's just different.
