NO MORE ALEXANDER(NM)!

Sorry to ruin your perception, but most statics are not groups of friends, you should pay attention to your PF more often. Getting rid of statics and unlocking content actually would allow you to play with more than 7 other friends

Statics are about the people more than the content. I have run statics on multiple occassions in multiple MMOs, running a static with a few friends now in fact, and I can tell you right now, if you don't get along with the people in your group then you ain't gonna get jack done in game.

Using party finder to fill a spot when someone can't play anymore really doesn't prove anything, honestly I'd kick someone from a static if no one got along with them even if they were good, and most static leaders are the same. You don't want a douche in your group bringing the mood down and ruining the fun, you want someone nice you can be friends with.

Sorry you've apparently had bad experiences, I hope I never run into your luck. A consistent group of friends makes everything more fun.

PLEOPLE! it is not and NEVER WAS about TAKING OUT NM OR GATING STORY BEHIND SV. it was about not having a reason to do SAVAGE since NM already gives everything you can get for less effort and time making it undesirable to do. hence I was asking for a reason to do this content.

NM gives item level 210 gear? News to me.

Raiding is always about and should always be about the social experience above all though. As stated to the person above, clearing difficult content with friends is just tops. But if you don't care for the social experience of raiding or the gear, then the content may just not be for you and you should be happy a story mode exists.
