Are static groups simply the now accepted reality for endgame progression?

[Murugan]

Sometimes I feel like people disagree with things just so they feel smart by having an opinion.

You can have 100 people in your FC and make sure there's multiple groups doing the content. You turn a great method of endgame, which IS in WoW and every other modern MMO, into some world shattering problem. Some people just love to be miserable I guess.

Wee 100 faceless people in an FC to draw your static groups from. What a "community".

It used to be different, that's great for you guys who only had WoW as a reference point, but some of us remember when endgame communities actually were full of friends you played with week in and week out and progressing together many people (enough that you still know everyone unlike modern guilds, but not a single static group either). They were not just pools of random people. But you are right that is the type of FC this kind of content promotes.
