Yes. Because part of the thrill of bringing down a 25-man boss is the level of commitment it takes from that many people. With 25 actual human beings, there is a bigger sense of teamwork because it takes dedication from more people to accomplish a goal. Raiding is not like doing a 5-man because it's about long-term gratification. A 5-man is about settling in for an evening and chugging through an instance with a few buddies. A 10 or 25-man is about spending weeks learning new boss fights. It's a basic difference in the rewards you get from the experience.
