Lissanna's comment on the original post was dead on. When I ran my original guild, we started mid-expansion and pushed all the way to Brutallus before the pre-Wrath nerf, killing on average 2-4 bosses per month. The fact that we had several dozen bosses that were all essentially current (just because you were progressing in Tier 5 or 6 didn't necessarily make previous tiers either easy or obsolete) gave us a lot to work with and a lot of motivation to keep pushing. When we downed Lady Vashj or Archimonde, we were thrilled by the achievement (little A) and didn't have a "Sigh - guess next week we start on heroic modes" mixed emotion.

All of this is academic for me, since I haven't logged in in almost three months and don't intend to return to the game. But there are enough people I know and talk to who DO play that what goes on in game still interests me, even though I don't see it directly.
