Almost everyone wants to "skip" having to raid!

[Priya]

I've wondered this myself. In every other game I've played (WoW, Rift, Tera, SWTOR) people have always been clamoring to get into new raids. Here it seems the "meh, let's do the old content instead" attitude is prevalent, and the odd thing about that is that this game's raid takes less time commitment than something like WoW. Maybe it's a population issue? I don't think it's really raid size as 8 isn't much different than 10, and WoW's 10man is more popular than 25 with normalized loot and shared lock-out. Maybe 1.5 mil (or whatever this game is) vs. 7 mil can really make the "Woot, raid time!" people seem few and far between. My server, at least, seems like no one really wants to raid even though it's large (it's possible I'm not looking around hard enough).

I think that this is why I did not like those games, but do like this one. Personally I am a PvPer, I do not really like PvE, and in these other games the really cool looking new gear always felt out of reach, and I always felt kind of 'meh' that all I ever did was old content, becuase that was not the cool thing to do.

Here I feel like the cool new gear is within my reach if I put in the time and effort (which I do) without having to put in the annoying part of finding a static and trying to schedule around a game (my RL is so sporadic that sometimes I can be on for entire days, and othertimes I cannot get on at all, but I do not know when on what day) so it is near impossible for me to have a static right now in my life.
