Are you a Raider?

[Deleted]

What ho,

Considering Blizzard seems to be spending more and more of its resources on raid dungeons, I figured it would be interesting to find out what we all raid, if we raid at all.

What is your relationship to raiding, at the present?

No poll?
8/10 mythic so yea im a raider.
I only play this game for the raids, would never have touched it if it didn't have the heroic(mythic now) raids.

Poll is up now.

I'm a LFR raider, but frankly its only because there isn't much else to do other than finish leveling the alts. If I could make equal progress doing something else, I wouldn't do that much at all either. It's not that I can't raid normal or even heroic, its that I just got burnt out on it at the start of Cata after doing it for years. I " raid" because there isn't really any other option as far as progression goes.

Since when does LFR count as raiding?

You are inside a raid instance and kill bosses inside that raid instance, therefore it is raiding.

Even though it need less organization and skill than hc dungeons?

Doesn't really matter though, since it's a separate option in the poll, this is just you getting your ego across.

Probably since the time it was named Looking for Raid instead of Looking for Pizza.

The OP is clear on this. Blizzard spends a ton of resources on raids, he wants to know how many people actually raid, so difficulty for this poll isn't really relevant. Everyone knows thought that you can't compare LFR to the other difficulties.

Yes.

Tried it multiple times during all expansions, with multiple roles. Just kept quitting halfway fights because I was getting bored out of my mind. It's just not for me I guess.

If i would play the amount i did back in TBC/Wotlk and mainly Cata i would prob be fitted in the Mythic raider catagory but since i never actualy raided mythic because it came out after i stopped raiding i went with Hardcore raider (eventho i wouldnt even know what would seperate a mythic raider from a hardcore raider since both are practicly the same).

So why did you actualy put Mythic raider and Hardcore raider as a seperate vote? because to me personal what kind of raider you are is defined by the amount of time you put into the challenge aswell as the result.

Yes, currently 4/10 mythic bosses in at the moment so I put my vote in the "Mythic raider" choice.

I think he meant to put "Heroic raider" instead of "Hardcore raider" since its two separate things.

[Rixis]

Yes, though I currently raid in a friends type guild, so whilst one or two are pretty decent, as a collective we're not that great. 9/10 normal as a guild, 2/10 heroic. 3/10 heroic from pugging (only pugged once).

Now we're winding down I might pug more, I find myself having to pug as healer instead of dps though.

I've previous raided at higher levels, but I'm not one for seeking out guilds to raid.

Probably.
I chose "mythic raider" even if we only have 2/10 right now (HansFranz 4%, we're getting there :< ).
But I'm a far cry from a hardcore raider.

Only 4/10 Mythic, but I'd consider myself a mythic raider. Mostly helping out my old GMs in their new guild, so I don't attend if I don't feel like it.

Running LFRs only since MoP, these days I dun have enough time and will to spend 3 hours a day and 5 days a week in instance. LFR provides nice flexibility, I do miss getting my raid tiers though, but at least I can see the progression of the storyline. If I dun feel like raiding, I just slack for couple of weeks and that's it, there's no need to stress out cuz of probability of losing my raid spot anymore.

[Tyrgannus]

I've been a serious raider in the past but been far more casual as I've gotten older and had more things in life other than WoW. Put myself down as normal.

Last time I was "ahead of the curve" so to speak was Tier 11. I was in the 4th guild in my server to down Heroic Chogall

You sound like a nightmare to have on a mythic raiding team.

I'm in mostly semi casual friendly guild. We do have all cleared on hc and we are recruiting for mythic tho.
