Been online every day this week, thanks. From my standpoint, it appears your beliefs rest on the assumption that lower-end players are unable to adapt to change. I disagree; high-end or low, this patch simply means guilds will employ pull teams where single pullers sufficed before. Pulling isn't why low-end guilds don't defeat mid-range targets, and pulling isn't why mid-range guilds don't usually compete for high-end targets. Heck, I *live* in the lower-end scene on P1999 and chat both in-guild and among friends was almost universally positive with respect to this new patch. Folks like classic mechanics.

I think you're completely misunderstanding the point, lower-end guilds can certainly change, it's just harder for them to do so. And when I say casual/low-end guild, I mean a raiding guild that could compete for targets, sorry for the confusion. Never talked about liking/disliking the changes or about guilds not adapting, only that it will be harder for them to adapt to raid targets.
My point: Monk pulling is harder for everyone. Down to the monk pulling in Unrest, albeit not that much more difficult for them.
Now, for a casual RAID guild to compete with raid targets they will need to do MORE WORK than they did before to compete. That's just plain fact, everyone has to do more work to compete now, including A/A. Seeing as how the casual raid guilds don't get many targets, they will now have to do more work to get the targets they already get and that puts a hamper on progressing to targets they don't get since they are harder for them to attain now. Further widening the gap.
I personally don't mind the changes at all, shits harder and the guild I'm in adapts far easier than other guilds that compete for raid targets. It will be harder for the casual raid guilds than A/A. It already was harder without these changes, this makes it even harder.
