    So of all the high school leavers, the high achievers get into a Graduate program? In common speak that would make those high achievers above average wouldn't it?
    You can't just stratify the sample into "people competing for a spot in a graduate program".

    I'll ignore your second and third paragraph because p2 agrees with my PoV and p3 is just the usual "when I did it pre-nerf" blather thats irrelevant to what I said.

    Lol, really?

    Just check percentage of guilds that have killed mythic garrosh now. That's a bit under 6%.

    Of course, I concede that current mythic garrosh doesnt have anything to do with previous heroic garrosh. My derp guild killed it last monday and was a complete joke, but im sure we couldn't have killed it if not for the nerfbat. That makes us total scrubs? Not really. Of course, we're a on a complete different league that hardcore raiders. But we're still better than that other 94%.

    94% is still an A.

    i wouldnt worry about it too much - pseudo-elitest just want to feel better about themselves - if they would be really elite they would go for worlds firsts - but since they are not on that lv they need to repeat this over and over to compensate for nobody caring about their acomplisment - are they better players ? ofc they are its undeniable - does even a single person care that they are better ? nobody cause nobody cares about some random joe-hero who is below world 10 exept for himself.

    Agreed. H Rag was not harder than H Spine or Madness, even after the stacking DS buff had gotten pretty high. But the mount he dropped was way more in demand because it was much cooler, because plenty of guilds didn't it during 4.2 so those that went back were mostly just getting mounts for themselves, and because guilds that did kill it in 4.2 often didn't go back to keep selling kills of it.

    I haven't used another flying mount on any character since I got it in 4.2, although if Ony ever coughs up that mount that might change.

    pretty much agree, I only like watching top 10 guilds compete in the race. Meanwhile, my friends and I talk about our rankings and kills. You're not going to impress anyone on the internet. Kick back, kill some bosses, and enjoy the game for what it's worth.
