I somehow dont see NPU, or Confirmed being like "Raid on!" and 45 minutes later "Ok, see you next week! Good session!"

Do you?

As much as the whole iLvl system in WoW can be kind of crappy, some form of iLvl standardization needs to be looked into and for raid mobs to be better tested to determine how high of an iLvl they have on their loot table, and also allow for higher iLvls for extremely rare EXTRA dropped items.
I do see your point in comparing relatvie item value. However, people are basically suggesting that they no longer need to clear vp now that SoH has loot on par with that zone. While some items may be on par with VP loot, those items are mostly for different slots and seem to be filling gaps in raid itemization. That being said, there is still plenty of reason for people to clear vp, because many will still be needing certain gear from that zone. I just think people are exaggerating a bit without really comparing, and thinking of why they have reason to still kill the rest of T4.

No, no and maybe.
Difficulty needs to match reward. RETARD.
You didn't start Doom with the BFG9000, you shouldn't in EQ2 either.
You want no difficulty, reward, and pay 15 bucks a month. That's called SHOPPING not PLAYING.

Ahmm, END GAME RAID ZONE. END GAME RAID ZONE. The first 4 named are not END GAME RAID ZONE material.
Maybe you define END GAME by your own set of standards, and not the standards set forth by SOE. I would think logic would dictate end game would mean end game for the majority of the population, not the .05% that raid 7 days a week.

/Shrug.

THIS ONE ZONE and Protector's Realm, Thuuga, Pawbuster, Severilious, Trakasaurus Rex, the Dominus', Kor Sha, Venril Sathir, and Leviathan.

So, hardcore raiders get VP, Trak, Tangrin and the Avatars?

There is no reason to add another zone that isn't top tier difficulty, there is already an abundance of content for casual 2 to 3 day a week raiders like yourself. So much, in fact, I doubt you can do it all in the 2 to 3 days a week you raid anyway.

BTW, per SOE themselves, way more than .05% of the population raid 7 days a week. Just saying.

When people say END GAME they mean the END of progression. Had they just said SoH is another raid zone, then fine whatever, but adding the words END GAME means that they are the END of progression. Sorry you don't understand that. T1 is not end game, T2 is not end game, T3 is not end game. VP is barely end game, Trak, Avatars, and Tangrin are END GAME.

No, but when it's itemized as the hardest zone in the game it certainly does.

You guys where in VP 3 minutes after ROK went live, because of your obvious superior gaming skills, and it had nothing to do with the fact that you had guildies/friends beta raiding the expansion before release, are dripping with avatar loots, and then when it went live you ground to 80 in 3 days, cleared VP 11 minutes later, and once NPU leaked the Trakanon strat put him on farm status. That about sums it up right?
You suck at this game. Get over it.

If gear and time is the only difference between casual and hardcore guilds, why do you continue to ask for help to improve your play in this thread since according to your post if your guild had the same gear as my guild you could clear SoH with no problems.

I admit I'm out of the loop on RoK raid content, but is there even enough fucking content to raid 7 days a week? When I played there was hardly enough for 3-4 days and people still whined about how you have to be zomg hardcore with no life whatsoever to do that 2 hour long MMIS raid.

And let me see. Hey Pinski, how long does it take you guys to kill Trakanon from zonein?
