There simply wasn't enough time in the progression to waste leveling an alt. On top of that, we all actually played our mains (this is also the result of AA, but let's not go there).
Emphasis in bold. This is one of the major contributors to the problem we have with our raid scene. Because of variance, the way to win is with numbers (both raw players and max level characters). I never recall top tier guilds fielding anywhere near the number of players guilds do on this server.

It's been beaten to death. We basically have 2-3 servers worth of raid guilds with enough characters in them to support 5+ servers. It's never going to match anyone's classic experience because of this.

It's like buying a pizza for a party only to find out 50 people are coming over rather than 10 and half of them think it's actually an audition for Man vs. Food.
