Everyone is saying that because it's true.

a good main group can carry an entire raid in EQ 9 times out of 10..

Most difficult wow fights depend on everyone pulling their weight.

It took our guild 150 tries to kill anub-arak in TOGC 25m hm. Wouldn't you know that we did it on our second attempt in the 4th week. Our first attempt.. we got him to <200k hp with 50 attempts remaining and then one of the off tanks dropped.. we wiped instantly, but killed him the very next attempt. Never did get the '50 attempts remaining' achievement.. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The point is people wouldn't still be attempting bosses in EQ after 150 tries because of the amount of time it takes to recover. people would log off because they arent having fun.
