"I wouldn't (I raid 25), but I'm sure a lot of people would."

If you're correct that a sizeable proportion of the raiding population, already a small minority of the overall playerbase, would stop raiding if solo or small group activities provided the same loot, wouldn't that suggest that large group PvE such as Raiding is an antiquated concept artificially supported by gear inflation for nostalgic reasons?

I mean, if most people don't raid, constant attempts to get more people raiding fail and many raiders would stop if there were alternative gear progression paths, then Blizzard would logically be better off scaling back both 10 and 25 man raids in favour of putting their resources to work developing new concepts in solo and small group content.
