Then people would farm heroics (which i'd say were harder than current normal mods, lol 1shotcleavetotheface) to get the gear for a chance to raid.
You weren't entitled a boss kill, you weren't told "sure come on it, and kill at least a few bosses" you actually had to earn that right. And it was annoying, and it was a PITA, but for many players it was a goal.
