Why can't we simply view their progression as separate? World first 25 and world first 10 are equally prestigious in my eyes.

There are far less hardcore 10men raiding guilds than 25 men ones, as simple as that.
You act like any achievement in real life sport is meaningful to people outside of this area. I care more about WoW WFs than I do about F1, cycling, football, athelatics and the other 300 different sports.
And honestly, the term "vocal minority" got way too over used on this forums. Probably the 30,000 or so MMO-C users are the minority compared to the 5-6m subs in EU/US, but we're the RAIDING MAJORITY - thanks.

10 man and 25 man are separate.
Its like saying bolt is the best at 100 meter hurdles just because he is best at 100 meters.... its different races.
Considering how many guilds do struggle with 10 man heroic mode HoF and 25 guilds are crushing this place it is indeed very meaningful to be the first 10 man world first HoF clear.
I also do think we should see it as different competitions. Probably 10 man is harder in HoF and maybe 25 man is harder in the next tier or whatever. Relating them to one another is just not possible due to them being different on a very fundamental level.
It is probably more appropriate to compare the 10 man guilds to one another and it will be most interesting to see how they do fare for the 10 man world first and how long it takes for multiple guilds to clear that place in 10 man hc.
Guys making such threads is a waste of time. How can you say one raid size is more meaningful to get a world first in than another when you are comparing two different populations that prefer two different ways of accomplishing their ends. They are meaningful to the raid sizes they appeal to and should not be more meaningful because the boss may or may not be harder on the other raid size. It's like comparing apples and oranges. People will always view world firsts differently and categorize them into their own ways, and that's fine, but in no circumstance should one way be more meaningful just because you think so.
