Was wondering something. I've read a lot of posts where ppl said long raids with 12 bosses such as ICC is bad and they hate it. We get to cata and blizz creates 3 smaller raids instead of one big one. The question I have is, why does everyone hate long raids such as ICC? Having 3 small raids with a total of 15 bosses isn't to much of a difference compared to one large one with 12 bosses. I don't see a difference in it really. If your guild raids 3 nights a week, in ICC you might do: First wing and Plague wing on night one, Blood and Frost wing on night 2, and do LK on night three. In cata we now have 3 small raids so we do one raid instance each night. How is either way better? You still spend about the same amount of time raiding, so cutting raid times down isn't a reason why. So what is the other side of the story as to why ppl don't like large raids compared to a couple smaller ones?
