Sometimes it's fun to play basketball with your friends and make fun of them for missing shots or not being fast enough. Shittalking can be great. But the thing is it's a lot more fun for the guy who's doing the shittalking, and when the other guy is average height or maybe a little short so it's always the tall guy coming out on top, it starts to not be so fun. In this case, height is a metaphor for being able to sit at your computer for a longer period of time to level more alts to camp at raid spots, to sit in Trak's lair for a week waiting for him to appear, and all the other shit that was the crux of pre-rotation raiding. Some of us love the occasional back-and-forth, fuck you BDA you're a bunch of babies no fuck you TMO you're a bunch nerds no fuck YOU IB you're just a lot of mean guys. Some of us think that shit is fun- sometimes. But there are a lot of people on this server who don't think it's so fun. Some people just want to kill a dragon once every week or so just to kill the dragon. This necessitates the existence of two classes of guild- the people who are always in the shittalking, competitive, looks like you bunch of fucks missed the trak spawn again lol kind of game, and the people who take it slower and don't feel the need to be better than anyone except maybe the other bards in my guild who all have more pieces of Ragefire shit than me, you fucks

The crux of pre-class assigned raiding was the size of variance and extended variance. There were other changes made besides the variance reduction but variance was the big stopping point for guilds not TMO,FE or IB before the changes. Other guilds simply did not have the people that could or would track mobs that long. Any guild (even a small guild with quality players) can rotate tracking a target between there guild for the short windows now.
It has been pretty surprising to me that more guilds haven't went for certain FFA targets because of these short windows. It's really quite easy and a lot of times takes less than 8 hours of actual tracking before these mobs spawn. It was the single biggest change made to the raiding environment outside of VP(Yes even bigger than giving Class-R vending machine loot basically with class assignments on mobs). Inside of VP removing no gm involvement made the biggest change.
