    It should be obvious to most people that 10/25 will NEVER be perfectly balanced towards each other and shouldn’t be pinned against one another, but hey Fanboyism will outshine reason.

    We could also change the word 25man → Christianity and 10man → Islam and we would have a pretty standard religious debate

    Please keep your posts civil and drop the 10 is lame/25 is lame/10 is harder/25 is harder debate. Thanks!

Same goes for Rag heroic or any other really hard boss which automatically makes it harder to deal with in 25 man raid than for their 10 man counterparts. For that reason Blizz will never be able to tune bosses equally.
    As soon as boss has any mechanic that can wipe the raid if one person fails to deal with it difficulty shifts to 25 man.
    that is not the definition of HARDER. If you cannot move yourself properly in 25man .... neither can you in 10 man. Harder would mean that this error that makes a 25 man raid go wipe, wouldn't make a 10 man go wipe.

    25 man requires more logistical care i would say. taking care of 25 man is harder than 10 man, and so you get more wipe not because the boss are harders, but because you have 2,5 more chance that someone makes it wrong. But correct me if i m wrong someone who keeps messing up his positioning at their level (10 man or 25) isn't kept long time

    25 men requires more dps? i bet any 25 man raiders that they won't make as much dps in 10 man

    This "10man isnt world first" is grinding my gears

    Paragon kills Lei Shen before ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD, its world first. Stop being logically backwards.
    Will be the same if a 25man guild killed it first too. First is First, regardless.

    It'll be nothing more than a 10 man world first. There's no "overall" WF.

    Logically incorrect.
    If someone does it first, before anyone else, that is WORLD FIRST.
    I cannot comprehend the mental capacity of people who think that a 10man kill isn't world first when it clearly is.

    English is one of the easiest language to learn. It's easy to speak AND easy to write.

    Logically incorrect, there are 2 bosses who share the same name. They are not equal. Therefore there is no "overall" first kill.

    Badly yes. To master its one of the hardest as it has so many ass backwards ways of doing stuff. I before E except after C. Except for a whole bunch of words...

    Thus no World first for anyone then by that logic?

    Watching an incredible race like this, while seeing this commentary about 10/25 US/EU is sad. It's like Troy Aikman and Joe Buck broadcasting the Superbowl, and in the middle of everything, they're stuck arguing over which coach has the hottest wife, or which position requires the most yoga.

    Who gives a crap! This is a great race. These teams are the best in the world, spending every possible minute on content that's brand new. We're gonna get some of the best nerdscream videos we've ever seen when this is over. Isn't anyone AT ALL excited for the race itself?

    We have the best guild in the world (Paragon) versus the best 25m guild in the world (Method) versus the best American guild (Blood Legion) versus the Russian upstarts (Exorsus) all fighting right now for the last couple bosses, and they're just about even. There isn't any massive gap this tier, they're going back and forth for WF's. That's freaking awesome.

    Just let it be awesome.

    Harder has a very broad definition.
    It can go as far that what its harder for 10 at top 10 ranks in the world is getting harder for 25 under rank 2000.

    Also the fact that the boss requires 25 ppl to kill goes together with the fact that out of those people more mistakes will happen...That makes the boss himself as hard (if the ratio is at excactly 2,5:1), easier (if the fatal mistakes are at a ratio of less than 2,5:1) and harder (you can guess when)...

    There is no rule which one is harder at top level. It can happen to be 10 or 25 as the past, and obviously the present clearly demonstrate.
    They re just different...
    Method was not so much better than Paragon to get Animus hours faster, neither Paragon became supercharged team of aliens after clearing Animus to get Qon and right after Twins as well while Method was strugling at them for hours, and still does even now, 30+hours after Paragon did the kill.
    They are different, and things like those make any attempt to talk about "the one race" to look entirely stupid to any person without fanboysm and some common sence.

    There is only one rule.
    The more you go down the progression ladder, the harder an encounter is becoming for 25s.
    That is why you need a microscope to find any 10.000 rank or lower 25 in the progress rankings, together with the fact that the better skilled people of that team will get rid of the worse and get a couple of thousand spots better progress and the gear from the extra kills.

    Gawd... it IS an overall world first. The first vehicle to go over 1000 km/h (or mph w/e) is the first vehicle, be it a bicycle a plane or a car. Of course you can't compare a plane to a bicycle, but the point still holds.

    There's no "overall" WF race on the other hand is a whole other argument, and one that only count for those that care tbh. But there IS an overall WF it's just a fact...

    Vehicles are:

    rockets
    cycles
    cars


    Now, a rocket going over 1000 km/h is not a big deal, while a car or especially a cycle would be glorious. DIFFERENT VEHICLES, ARE NOT EQUAL.

    No. That is where I have to disagree. You don't say "world first object to go 1000 km/h", you say first car or first plane or first train.

    But since this is raiding, raid team size is meaningless. If a 25 man does it, it's World First. If a 10 man does it first, it is still World First

    This guy knows what's up.

    Stop this bullshit discussion, is this still going on in 2013? I thought we finally reached a consensus that they are two separate races.

    Let's get back to the old stuff: guild drama, low wipes, exploit accusations, encounter hype and MATHEMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!!

    This might be true for a general 25m vs 10m comparison but for bleeding edge progression you either must bring a lot of geared alts (you can play almost as good as your main) or have an uncompareable huge rooster to overcome class disadvantages in 10M. One big example this tier: bubble-able debuffs on tank. I'm so pissed they came back after the t11 disaster... On 25m it's far more likely to have two-three paladins (of any role) to reset the buff often enough but on 10M you regulary don't and 1-tanking isn't an option, greatly decreasing the amount of wiggle room.

    Hate to tell you guys but... A group at Blizzard got world first maybe three weeks ago, so we can all go home.
