Re: Shard of Hate: Raid zone only or for non raiders as well?
I'd like to point out that the only difference between raiders and casual players (not including the morons) is organization
Or having families that take up more time than a game, or college / work assignments that pop up from time to time, or social events, or personal issues, or...
Yes, raid guilds have organization, and true, it is really no different than scheduling an 8pm basketball game every wednesday night. However, I think it would be safe to say that the majority of casual basketball players don't raid 5 days out of the week either for 3-6hrs at a time, whereas the professionals (the raiders of the basketball court, as it were) do.

Re: Shard of Hate: Raid zone only or for non raiders as well?
While we need more content as a whole, don't begrudge one side of the community getting theirs (for what it's worth).
There's plenty of difference between casual and hardcore, just as there are as many tiers of both those definitions.
1. Very Casual
2. Casual
3. Casual but wants to be HC
4. Diet Hardcore
5. Hardcore
6. Uber hardcore (call list)

I think they should also make it a crafting instance where everything crafted is mythical.

They should make you construct the guild halls the same way as the KoS spires and griffon towers.

Don't find yourself fixing things out of fear that you should have fixed out of love.

The amount of time you spend logged in is irrelevant. It's how you use your time that matters. This is a hobby, not a professional sport.

Off topic, but not a bad idea.

Re: Shard of Hate: Raid zone only or for non raiders as well?
I'm not against a copy-paste heroic copy of shit (Shard of Hate included, given SoF was heroic), as long as EVERY piece of gear is worse than raid gear from the same expansion. i.e., no more shit like Praetor's Guards, or Jarsath Gi's, or Thuuga necks, or whatever.

So I log in for an hour every day and I can use that time waiting for a raid to form for thirty minutes then spend another half hour doing the content and get raid gear... no. =p I could debate this for hours, but.

Agreed. Keep it in line with the other zones.

QFE.
Another thing - How would you guys feel if SoE made this a solo instance as well? That way you would have content for the three major food groups of players, as long as the loot scaled and was balanced?
