Since plenty of people are complaining that some of us are whining about the ease, without going in, my MIDCORE raid group finally went in and cleared A9 and A10 cold, on 2 consecutive nights--something we've never done before with our 3-ish hour raids.

Oh, and we probably got through a third of the way through A11S after clearing A10...and while the fight (thankfully) looks a little harder (can it last us through the month at 9 hrs / week? I can hope, but I'm not holding my breath), our fears so far seem to be confirmed--this patch will be finished so early, I hope the expansion is coming before Christmas to keep us all interested.
