I know we are a long way off but, I am begging and pleading for single group raid style content.

I simply just don't have the patients for large scale raids anymore. From the time it takes to form and actually get things done to trying to babysit X amount of "im entitled to everything" kind of people. I just cant do it. Maybe it's me getting older or not having near as much time, or am simply turned off by 90% of what the MMO community has become. And I used to love raiding, from EQ to early WoW. For the past few years though any thoughts of raiding, in any mmo really just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

I would really enjoy challenging, single group content with a group of friends with full on progression involved. Not like your basic "heroics" or "challenge modes." Something a little more in depth and much harder. I wouldn't want it to become raids for casuals. But if you take out all the time and crap you have to deal with in a large scale raid, it would give players a lot more time to work on bosses in your small knit group. I'm not saying there shouldn't be big group raids either and I wouldn't even expect it to have equally as good loot as the bigger raids.

Like I said, I don't mean this as a way to compete with the hardcoes, I wouldn't expect it be an equal in gear or progression. Just a different route for small group/small guilds to enjoy.

Single group raids, no. Call it heroic dungeons, than yes. But before complaining, yes heroic dungeons are previously visited dungeons adjusted to max level, but they said they will extend those dungeons in heroic mode. Might not be enough for you, but I don't think they'll add any "single group modes" for raids (in my eyes this wouldn't be a raid).

The only additional thing mentioned so far are the adventure zones, what ever this will be. Maybe you can find your desired single group content there.

I thnk the word "raid" should be reserved for large groups. 20+. Everything below is just a normal group.


Well the question is, who big do you want them to be ? 3 ? 5 ? 7 ? When it comes down to playing with your friends, and only with our friends, everyone draws the line somewhere else.

Without scaling dungeons this is not possible.
