I can completely go at my own pace. No waiting for others

Equip Tabard. Queue for dungeon. Wait 35 minutes. Hopefully it's not a bad group. Kill trash. Kill 3-5 bosses. Good group, only took 20 minutes
Queue for dungeon. Wait 40 minutes. Got a bad group. This dungeon takes about 40 minutes.
1 Hour 35 minutes later, I've killed the same old trash, and the same old bosses.
Oh man, that was so much better.
Why do people not understand that putting on a tabard and clearing dungeons over and over.. -is the same logistical effort and reasoning- as doing dailies solo and clearing the same quests over and over?
It's the same exact god damn thing!
Not trying to nitpick here, but I'm calling B.S. on this. Please define, "top guild"
Because I'm no where near in a "top guild" anymore. We were US 200ish back in Cata, but had a slow start due to a few issues we had in October and early November. We're back up to around US 600, and we're 4/6H-6/6-4/4 . Clearly not a "top" guild. That being said,
I have absolutely no problems getting flasks, pots, Valor points, charms, food, whatever. Here's the secret.
Everyone in the guild pitches in. One person farms Tiger Meat for raid feasts. Two people farm Danio for 20 minutes before raid time. One to two people farm herbs. The end result of this is: Everyone has food. Will always have food. We have more flasks and golden lotus than we could ever imagine using. We have more stat pots than we could use.
Stop treating this like a single player MMO and make your "top guild" chip in and get shit done the right way.
Quoted for Truth.
I remember when dailies only gave you a minimal amount of gold, yet people still had the incentive to do them. Now they give you a chance at FREE GEAR that is relevant to the raid tier, but that's just asking too much.
Summary: People did dailies when they didn't reward anything, didn't complain. People do dailies when the reward something, complain.
My absolute favorite quote from the MMO-Champion forums was someone saying that "this entire community should be isolated and studied for scientific research." It's conversations like this thread, and the WoW-Forums, that make me guffaw thinking back at that quote.
