Finally got a LK kill tonight after about 14-15 weeks of what I consider heavy raiding. Tuesday was 25man and wed, thur, and mon were 10mans. 3hour raids each night. Biggest setbacks were cycling players. I don't think we ever had the same 10 people each week. There is a lot of expansion apathy out there right now.
Nice man, we're still working on LK10 ourselves. The next few weeks we're out some key players though, so I'm not getting my hopes up. :)Quote:

We start raiding at 9pm and by about 11pm everyone is very tired and ready to nod off to sleep. We only do 10 mans but we've been on LK for weeks, often having to reset the instance and clear because a key healer cant make it.
People are ready to take a break the instant we down him which is also sad because the 10 Man Heroic Modes look awesome (and so does the gear). A few of the key players have geared up in 25 Man Pugs but we all prefer the 10 Man Model, just feels like more of an accomplishment and like you cant carry anyone really.
People are definetly in pre-cata burnout mode though.

I feel the expansion apathy myself... While I love expansions they really take any motivation away to keep gearing up...
So weird they always put out a major raid right before an expansion as well that gets quickly forgotten day 1 of the expansion. Horrible waste of development money if you ask me.
Here I sit with nothing literally to do in WOW except the daily heroic.
We did have 2 10 man groups as well as a 25man but we lost like 4 people last week who had lich king kills so they combined the two 10 man groups into one. That left about 5-6 other people in the guild who are going to have to pug this week or scrape up a pity run with alts etc. Its kinda sad.
Heroic modes, some are fun. This run we did I got the first 4 bosses on heroic, the 2 aboms in plague wing and the blood queen down on Heroic so 7/12 heroic kills. Some in my opinion are just not worth it till they up the dps/hp/hps bonus. We wiped on Saurafang heroic about 7 times. It was all just luck. The marks kept landing on cloth players with 23k hp or so and no ammount of spam healing could keep them up. It wasnt until the marks landed on a ret paladin and a dk with 40k+ hp that the guy went down.
Gunship is no different in difficulty. The knockback from the bombs are like 4 yards so they dont even matter. Deathwhisper was fun because it adds the 25man mind control and the boss is untauntable and you have an add that spawns in the back so the whole dynamic changes. The Aboms were a lot of fun with dodgeing stuff, pukeing on rotface etc. Bloodqueen as far as I could tell was nothing different. We one shot her.
Lich King was a bitch though. I was raid leading the second 10man group and only managed to get to him a few times. I would say maybe 5-6 hours of face time was all before the other night. But 6 of the people in the group had LK kills and we managed to down him on our second try.
