Who is gonna raid now with the iLvl 110 gear handed to people??

Well, just to throw my $.02 in to the mix, I didn't raid much before 2.2. I had trouble finding a static of people that could all play at the same time. The people in my FC are all real cool, great players, and we all like raiding but our times didn't match up well. That caused us to only really be able to get into the first turns of coil every Saturday for about a month and a half before 2.2 came out.

We were all i90 in myth by then, so aside from the BiS properties of maybe exchanging some pieces here and there, there was no super huge value of the loot when we began raiding. We all wanted to raid because of the challenge of the fights, and learning how to deal with new situations that vanilla and 2.1 didn't have us in.

We still managed to clear T1-4 in that month and a half before 2.2 came out and first coil turns were given the echo buff. After 2.2, we all collectively decided to go our separate ways as far as our raid static went. We all stayed in the same FC, because we had become good friends and we could always do other content together, but 1 day a week just wasn't enough for any of us. We all had intentions of progressing SCoB, but were aware enough to know that it probably wasn't going to happen together.

So me and 1 other person from my FC (our times matched up great) found a new raid static with other people whose times matched better with ours. We went through about 1 1/2 months of mixing and matching 1 or 2 people here and there until we finally had 8 people that showed up on the same days at the same times every week, and didn't have to replace anymore. Now we are on T9 learning Nael, and hope to have that turn down in the coming weeks.

Point of the story....


With all of the different people I have raided with over the last 2-3 months, EVERY time we beat a coil boss for the first time it sounded like a party in mumble. Everyone would be hooting and hollering with genuine happiness over the accomplishment.



And those emotions ALWAYS happened before we ever opened a treasure coffer...

That's how it is for us too. It's that victory after hours of practice that's the true reward. The loot is icing on the cake.
