@ Diatenshi - See you fall into the classic mistake of open debate. You start off with a childish insult and assume because someone prefer's 10 man they are casual or a scrub.

The reality is that alot of 25 man's have a core group, those are the dedicated raider's, those are the ones who put in the effort, organise the group. There are usually 5-6 player's who put in a half assed effort (now I'm certainly not talking about top end guild's here), they dont gem properly, they dont buff properly and are more concerned with their phat loot's rather than working as a cohesive unit. In 10 man's you can't afford those people, there is less room for error, especially in 10 man guild's who aren't simply out-gearing the events in their 25 man gear... those people are the scrubs

Now if you feel this is the end of your wow playtime (I'm sorry I refuse to call playing a video game a career) then thats your choice ... I seem to remember alot of the same talk when 40 man raid's were excluded in Burning Crusade. I think you are going to miss out on an excellent expansion.

FYI I play a resto druid, who at first was not happy with the fact that I was losing my ToL (in fact I'm still not) but I realised I've been playing the same game now for many year's with little or no diversion. Clearly Blizzard has created a game that appeals to me, otherwise I would have simply gotten bored. I'll have faith that they will continue to bring the "wow factor" as it where :)
