Couldn't tell from the OP. Reminds me though, you ever going to finish your x2 thread thoughts?

Will you ever cease lying about them not being there? Or are we having a Jon Stewart moment?

Point them out and I'll do so gladly.

Explain? Because fair or unfair he tends to do a really good job of pointing out jackassery and since you are the subject here...

I'm not sure what that has to do with Wrath's lore implementation, which is superb.

But, you're right. Normal raids are for pugs and hard/heroic modes are for guilds. There is a lot of raid content but the problem is most of it becomes obsolete once you've cleared ToC. Blizzard's greatest mistake is that each raid zone is tiered and backtracking is often only for achievements. It actually reminds me of the RoK, plenty of content but only Ony, ToC and maybe Ulduar are viable.

But I digress, because this has nothing to do with the topic.

He tends to do a really good job of editing video clips so selectively as to completely warp the viewer's understanding of the context. Which wasn't my view of the man until I saw it for myself.
