Well, I think we may have went into speculation mode on more then just the raid, I agree that raiding has hurt other aspects of the game, it makes sense in a logical standpoint. If you can either do, behests leves or grinding, and then you add a new feature raiding. if anyone moves to that new feature there is a lack of people in the other catagoires. at the same time, if a member becomes mor eactive due to this features, the likely hood of them continuing to play the game and grind other classes increases. Each server is different so how people treat the new feature varies. Eventually witht he console release the game will likely have alot more people. So I agree raids probly hurt the server, Not likely in a major way, but if your talking about people putting time into raids instead of leveling it is true
