Well, in Pre-TBC, you raided for the best gear, Mostly because pvp was hard to get good items. So now, we have it so there is specific gear for pvp and pve. Now I have a question.
Why raid? I'm just curious, I mean people raid for gear right? Some raid for fun like me sometimes, but they are happy when good gear for them drops. So, this gear is useless (almost) for pvp, since you will get owned by people in pvp gear (Gladiators+, Vindicators + Veterans). So why raid?
What is the point? What happens when you get full tier 6 and the best gear for you? Pvping is useless almost, no resilence, not much stamina. Do you raid to show off that gear? I mean, mosly I think of this game as war, So i get the best player killing gear I can, why else get good gear.?
EDIT: Oh and personally I love raiding, just because its harder than arena. And I respect people in full tier 6 or raid gear than arena gear.
I raid cause it is a good time, just goes with my personality better than PvP does. The boss encounters are a good time, I find it much better to down a new boss then to kill an arena team. Farming the content is also fun to me and getting a new peice of loot is kick arse when it does happen. For some reason I find it easier to raid then to arena, maybe i'm just unlucky finding people to play with. Our raid times are always consistant, but it's hard for me to find people to set times to arena. I really hate 2v2 also, gives me a headache waiting for the que times.
