i was a top PvPer on my server in CHINA several years ago. raiding is for nerds. the only respectable people that play wow... the only one's deserving of the appellation "gamer" play PvP.. i quit before arena's came out.. but i smoked fools with my Mage, preist, and warlock with mediocre PvP gear and a few trinkets from that one 40 man fire instance and the jungle one with the trolls and the red bird boss... i dont know english names cuz i played in china,... anyway. wow is fun. but i got my fun out of it and quit during the year and a half it took for the BURNING CRUSADE to come out in china. by that time i had all the pvp mounts and gear. i started raiding the two 40 man firepits and farming onyxia. fucking raids are so boring. even when your gear drops one out of 10 tries... you realize that it is all just a scam for you to waste time playing. actually the egyptian dungeons were pretty fun. the ruins in sithillus or something like that.
WoW players all have gambling addictions... not "gaming addictions" they are addicted to the purple drops. just like in diablo. the only mistake was that in diablo they didnt charge by the minute.
the way Chinese do casual raids is pretty cool actually and a great way for baller tanks and priests to make gold. they are called GOLD GROUPS and what happens is two tanks and a few priest/DPS will shout out in ogrimarr (cuz alliance is for queers) that they are starting a gold raid in X instance. then they get the proper regiment of dps, tanks, healers, support etc. always one or two warlocks of course... then everyone meets up and rapes the dungeon. when the boss drops loot.. the raid leader calls the loot out and one by one the gear is auctioned off to the highest bidder. instead of DKP its gold and the highest bidder gets the loot. so if you beat so and so boss and your staff drops.. you and the other mages have a bidding war. sometimes you get lucky and everyone has it/doesnt want it so you get it for 10G or the lowest bid.
then at the end of the raid everyone who buy an item splits the pot. this way everyone wins... some get loot and for the others who do a two hour raid and their shit doesnt drop.. they still get a portion of the Gold that the buyers threw down. sometimes that can be a fat pot. especially when the instance is new. its a sweet system. i dont think they do that kinda thing in the west.
