Ultimately all this 10 man / 25 man accessibility stuff is besides the point.

He plays 5 mans. He doesnt want to raid. Hes run out of meaningful (in that it advances your character) stuff to do in that domain so hes stopping playing.

We should really be talking about how blizzard can allow you to continue to progress your character without chasing gear so that were not all done after 1 or 2 months playing at end game. If the solution to "Where is my character progression beyond level 80?" is "roll an alt"... yikes. =)

I always thought something like the AA system (i think thats what its called) in EQ sounded like fun. I mean, if we're out there grinding dailies and stuff anyways it would be cool to be making your character more powerful. I guess the devs dont like them though... i read a quote that said something to the effect that.. Once they put a system like that in place, they have to start balancing the game assuming people have them.

I dont know, im not a game designer, I dont know what the solution is. I would definitely enjoy some new avenues of character progression though outside of year, bottom line for me.
