What is end game like for normal people?

What he said. The OP has stated he is not into Batphoning or Poopsocking yet wants to get uber gear and hard to get epic. Hmm, just doesn't work like that on here. I am no TMO fan but they work they butts off to get what they get and have. Imagine being the Raid Leader for TMO. You think he or she puts in like 5 hours a week. You want good stuff, just like RL you have to work your ass off and be a Pit Bull at times.

If "work your ass off" means having no life to be crowned King Nothing, then I say no thanks. If I can never get my epic because of these "classic" mechanics, then so be it. However, it is my belief that the challenge should come from the actual encounter, not from having to choose between IRL and game.

Ultimately, what is this really about? Are we keeping the classic environment merely for the sake of historical accuracy, or rather that we want to relive the fun of the old times? Maybe you can say that we have both, but I disagree - at least on this point.
