Lets scrap this zoneline pulling shit and do a 350 person traditional crawl through NToV.

Let's just scrap the whole server.

Too many people don't know what "push" is and how it affects a mob.
Too many people don't know what "don't peek" means and what happens when you peek.
Too many people were just being warm bodies.
Too many people.....

It boiled down to Leadership....it is extremely difficult to corral 300+ people and get them moving in the right direction. AM / AG / AW (at the time I think?) all took turns at one point trying to guide the masses and it was brutal.

Shit's classic. How many times that happened in places like Hate or Fear on live, omg. Hell, even a Hole crawl.

Crawling to a mob with a raid force that has to be disciplined somewhat and pay attention rather than wait for auto-attack / cheal rotation adds somewhat of a different dynamic to the game.

Loved when raiding on live and thought I had tagged a single but multiple adds came. Those were the fun fights, not the single mob beat downs.

Nonsense... we were told that they put tons of time and effort into learning encounters, practicing, becoming skilled, studying pathing and aggro radii, knowing the mechanics of the game, etc. so they were more deserving of the loot.
