    I would also add that the number of options for T7+ hinder pugging. While I like having options and being able to do fights in more than one "legitimate" way, if a golden standard isn't settled on, it makes pugging from group to group a rather annoying experience. Ex. T6 is simple because you have only two options, either burn or super slug. Neither are overly complicated so I see plenty of pugs for T6. T7, I've seen some groups do single renauds, some do stacked renauds, and still others do variations where instead of kiting the renauds they freeze in place and everyone else adjusts. I've seen all sorts of crazy positionings for healers and ranged DPS. T8 towers vary from group to group, particularly from the sixth set on, and this also depends on overall DPS. Even T9 has slight variations among groups for meteor placements and fire/ice/thunder positioning. There are people who may have done it one way but not another and agreeing on a plan and waiting for some of those people to adjust can take time.

    Anyways, my own gripe with the raiding system is, as frequently mentioned, the lockouts. Why are raiders limited to just 7 other people out of thousands? It makes it so that if you don't have a static, good luck ever getting anything done.
