I didn't figure this thread would get that far. I think the hardest thing about WoW for me was getting 40 people to do the right thing on every raid, especially when you talk about BWL & AQ40. As soon as I knew they were going to change it to 25 man raids, I lost all interest. Granted I was on a dying server and we found it very difficult to fill our roster with intelligent people, but if I took the top 25 of the players in my guild I have no doubt we would have beaten every boss we attempted within a few tries. When my guild first entered MC we only had 28 people, and we cleared up to domo in 3 days without having more than 30 people on the raid. We watched two other guilds collapse during the same week because they couldn't get past the second boss with 40 people because of zerg recruiting. This was on Kalecgos, which opened about 7 months or so after the game released so it was a race to see who would be the "best guild." Most of our attempts in BWL had 35-38 people as it was better for us to do it that way than recruit some retard to fill out the raid. By AQ40 we had one of the larger servers transfer to ours as it was dying and they were overcrowded, and our recruiting issues stopped. That didn't mean beating C`thun was any easier.
