Karazhan raid experience

2008-01-11 08:23:00 by Tobold in Tobold's MMORPG Blog

...raiders. The more advanced players don't want to sign up for the low level raids any more, because those don't bring them anything any more, but the less advanced players only make slow progress without the help of the more advanced players, and thus don't catch up with them to help them in the next level of raiding.

...raids in my World of Warcraft guild. I had to think about it for a second. Well, I said. We use Deadly Boss Mods, Omen, and Guild Calendar, for starters.
