majority of gamers are adults with jobs and aint got time for /1 LFG FOR GROUP PLZ SEND TELL for 2 hours

thats why everything has a queue these days

thats why classic exp on a 10 person server doesn't work

Oh I'm aware, I'm 31 with a full-time job, a kid, and life. Even still, I'd rather carve out some time to put together a group or raid force with like-minded guild members that I've had experience with and trust, as opposed to joining a queue of randoms who don't say a word and disappear into obscurity when it's finished.

It's a preference thing, I'm aware that the new-school of gamers want things to be simple so they can get the full experience in a fraction of the time. I personally get a greater sense of achievement when I'm a part of something incredibly organized and social. I'm not necessarily saying what I enjoy is better...just that I enjoyed WoW more in it's earlier state and it's depressing to me (and maybe me only) that it's changed so drastically.
