Reposting this from the Benefactor's Bar discussion, as it seems this thread has gone the same place:
The "why is it worth doing 25-mans" question boils down to this: how will doing this more difficult content make me demonstrably superior to people who have not done it?

The obvious parallel is difficulty level in other video games. How am I demonstrably better for beating Halo on Legendary? Umm.. an achievement? Maybe I got to see an alternate ending? These are tiny cosmetic things, and they are not why I did it; I did it because it was there, for a challenge.

I don't really see how WoW is any different. None of us are in Sunwell because we think that this gear will last us forever; it'll be replaced at 80, if not before. We're here because we enjoy the challenge. We'll still be doing 25-mans in WotLK if that's where the challenge is.
