This issue won't go away until SE stops coddling the fragile egos of raiders who fancy themselves "pros" (Don't even try to argue this point. The posts here practically scream it out). The expense and time required for an i210 relic was absurd once Gobdip became available for farthings. At this point, the item requirement should really have been cut by half or more.

To those saying that people should just join raid groups, take a look at your average Party Finder comments and ask yourself if you're willing to put up with a 13-year-old with a Napoleon complex. Moreover, would you be willing to put up with potential verbal abuse if certain groups require voice chat?
