Actually the developers were a success by moving things away from the EQ model. It's not contradictory for those players because for them the game stopped at max lvl. They quit after. I'm saying exactly as you did instead of forcing people to raid who didn't raid in the past they ought to just develop content for those people instead. If that means raids kinda have to suck then so be it. That's the choice your asking for Blizzard is not omnipotent and can't simple pull content out of their ass.
