My thinking about Alex normal/savage. Issue IMHO inside

Because raiding isn't all that many of us do. I'm fine with the setup. I'm sorry that you aren't. The endgame raiding community makes up a very small portion of the playerbase and of those people, only a fraction play the game only for the raids.

That's not saying I like Alexander. I find the story and the fights pretty lackluster overall so far (though I've heard A3S is the most fun one, so we'll see how that goes). I think that Coil was a far better raid both for lore and for engaging encounters, though.

Raiding is not all anyone in this game does, me included. However, Raids are here. I am a veteran raider. Alex is sadly not anywhere near as beautiful and thought out as Ulduar for example. The issue is that raiding at end game is the Main focus in this game. If it was not then the best gear imaginable would not be available by only raiding. When people hit end game they raid and grind for gear, its that simple. The raids should be rewarding, challenging, time consuming, and above all fun. I am not saying a raid should take 7 days to complete but on farm, it should take more then 1-2 hours at most to clear unlike alex now that takes 1-2 hours on savage mode if you have it on full farm.

No one has given me any good example on why raids should not have more time and effort put into them unlike now. Now Alex looks like a slapped together raid that took roughly a day or 2 max to create. Ulduar on the other hand took a lot longer then that because it had more things to do inside it and more stuff to see (14 bosses compared to alex 4. Dozens of trash mobes compared to alex's 1)
