I'm one of them. I could go on and on why I prefer 10s over 25s, but that would be quite irrelevant to the original conversation.
I like this idea: give me challenges, and let me see all the lore. My hope is that someday, "small raids" will become first-class citizens like "large raids". We're not there yet.
When Prince died, the 25 raiders were ready to go on to Gruul. For the 10 raiders... we had nothing. Gruul, Mags, SSC/TK, and only now are my 25-raid friends hitting MH/BT. Meanwhile, I was levelling alts, due to lack of content. Now I have ZA (I haven't seen it in a substantive manner, due to being last in line in the guild I just joined), but that only shows how much of a second-class citizen small raids have been.
Insofar as lore, Illidan is as irrelevant to me as the forum raiders who bemoan that I can get T5/T6 gear. "You are not prepared!" "You don't deserve that!" That's nice. Who're you again, and why do I care about you?
This proposal is interesting in that it recycles a lot of stuff. I won't really care if the place has been solved at the 25-person level by all the 25-person raiders; I'll care much more that I get to go. Sure, it'd be nice to have a place that's our own, but if this is the compromise that's needed, I'll take it.
