    In our guild, we raid together in basically the same setup for nearly 4 years now. We have annual RL meetings, a couple that recently had their first baby together and noone - literally noone - that we cannot have a good laugh with gets to raid with us. I dare you to show me ONE 25hc raiding guild with this level of social interaction.

    It simply won't happen.

As said before, in 10man its easy to find likeminded people, in 25 you almost never have 25 likeminded people which causes issues that are just far harder and more complex to solve. Leading a 25man guild certainly takes more then leading a 10man, not just time wise. Many people have enough 'leadership' skills to manage a small 10man group, but cannot handle managing a 25man group.
    Likeminded to you seems to be about agreeing on things like politics and such, while to me it means that they're wanting the same thing from raiding. Its not hard to find more players for it, just takes more time and as we're talking about mythic raiding thats what likeminded should mean. Leading difficulty of the two with this perspective is the same, 25mans just take more time.

Which brings even more problems with people trying to game this loot system and pissing off others in the process. Its just far more complex, and 'more time' is certainly not the only thing it takes to manage.
    According to you 25's arent likeminded at all when it comes to progression. While in fact the hardcore guilds distribute the loot without any complex systems but using common sense.

In the end 20mans will be decaying just as 25mans do now. Oh and don't fool yourself that enough 10mans will even want to step up, leaving alone wheter they would be able to. After this expansion Blizzard will have to either reintroduce 10man hc or scrap 'top' raiding format altogether.
    25s are still around and well sustained. if you look at wowprogress it is still one of the preferred versions of raiding. 10s are convenient for a lot. 10s are like fast food vs a nice steak restaurant the 25s can bring. just recall in firelands the 10ms doing legendary caster quest vs the 25s. 25s pounded them out quicker but they also had to MAKE MORE than the 10m ever would potentially need in teh perfect world.

    No it can't. I have the best internet connection available. Problem is I'm 9,000km away from Europe. Australians suffer the same problem with the servers they connect to. Once again a person that can't see anything but their own pov.

    Because a large majority of people who browse the Raids and Dungeons forum are in 10 man guilds that I'd wager either do heroic content or aspire to do heroic content. It's really not hard to understand if you think about it.

    There is no such room for error in 10HC, and I like it that way.
    By the sounds of your post, I think you either A. Didn't get recruited to a 25H guild and are pouting. B. Lack basic comprehension of the game C. Trolling, or D. Have never watched Blood Legion or Method raid.

    You never raided progression then. 10 mans can be just as shitty talent wise as a 25 man. Your acting like every ten man guild out there is some great guild when in fact there are just as many scrubs in tens mans (if not more) than 25s. I've raided progression since Vanilla and your generalization is completely false, you're the fanboi here buddy trying to portray your PoV as fact when it's just an opinion.

    20 mans are coming get use to it. Instead of spewing falsehoods in this thread perhaps you should be working towards the good of your guild.

    you'd be surprised. many 25m i've ever been in has done annual meetings or used blizcon as an opportunity. it's foolish to think YOUR group is the only ones out there who could ever do it and base it off the fact of being 10s.

    You are wrong and the reason you are wrong is probably not your fault. The reason you feel that way is that you have not noticed how over the years the fights have gotten more and more into the personal responsibility department so when you went to 10 man you saw that everyone had to play right in order to win whereas if you had stayed with 25H you would realize that change was also happening there just with the added annoyance of needed a way more coordinated strategy in general.

    Because Method or Blood Legion are an adequate representation of the normal 25man hc raiding guild. Lolz.

    personal responsibility is in both modes. one has more battle rezzes but it's balanced by the amount of "allowable deaths"

    I am agreeing what I am saying is that the strategy though for a lot of early bosses was fairly straitforward and there was often only one mechanic or two you had to worry about provided it wasn't a final boss.

    Doesn't matter, you spoke in generalizations, I offered a counterpoint.

    It will be harder than 6.0 heroic (current normal mode). They basically recalled heroic to mythical, normal to heroic. This will be the 3 main difficulties, along with LFR.

    You offered an ad hominem fart out of your ass and no counterpoint. 25hc guilds have the same possibility of social interaction than 10hc guilds? The individual responsibility is the same in 10hc vs. 25hc?

    Just a load of bullcrap, thats whats coming with the "new" mythic 20 format. Bullcrap that I bet a vast amount of current hc raiders will not put up with, and Blizzard - and the pve scene at large - will feel that.

    Tell me how many other games (which I'm sure you will leave WoW for) have a 10 man raid format ?

    Edit- And you do remember ZG and AQ which were also 20 man back in the day and how successful those instances were right ?

    I know very few 25man guilds who dont have any loot system in place apart from 'need and greed', while I know tons of 10mans who do. The average heroic raiding 25man guild surely has a loot system in place.

    I don't think you understand what "ad hominem" means. If you did, you would know that my post did not in fact contain such an argument, but here is one for you. If you act completely irrational like this at a much needed change that has almost NO EFFECT ON YOU I'm guessing you are the worst raider in your guild.

    Who said I'm leaving? I'm venting my frustration over a move by Blizzard that will destroy, flat out destroy everything we build as a guild over the last years. Who the fuck knows what will happen. And I know that many of you 25hc raiders think "deal with it", but just take a good look around in the forums.

    It will be the death of every 10man guild with even the slightest hc aspirations. If you really think that this move, after years and years of 10man raiding, will be good for the game, then I really don't know what to say anymore.

    yup, they do, never questioned that. They just arent as likeminded as the 10mans are, because it'd take more time to find such players who play to progress instead of lootwhoring. (after progress loot systems are usually introduced in most guilds instead of going with the common sense of highest upgrade wins)
