That's raiding in a nutshell really Mos...though most people do call it "lolscripted events" there ARE variables that can fuck it up, and that variable is the players :p I've seen palas accidentally bop/DI the tank when they meant to hit loh, I've seen a near-wipe on Vael at 1% and a Paladin bop'd himself and loh'd himself and HE WON, finishing Vael off just barely in time...so yeah, imo, that "scripted" bull can go fuck itself, there's plenty of variety ;)

Only new recruiter is Genesis on Mag and that's because Nerd Craft transferred over and put them to shame. DA's core/good raiders merged into DC and attend higher raids when allowed but again, some fights simply require geared people, and DA was progressing(keyword there, we WERE making progress on bosses and had gotten Hydross just about down to a farm encounter) through SSC when we joined up to DC; again any guild that was already at BT won't let anyone undergeared come; any guild that wasn't in BT jumps in and gets their ass handed to them because they didn't learn to cooperate on their way up :p
