Even with gear a tier behind, so long as people are capping out at the end of the progression path too quickly, where's the reason to want to do 25 mans?

This is one reason I am not really anxious for the 10/25 split tiers. It is already hard enough to find a decent guild if you aren't in one already. I think that a lot of middle of the road guilds might even go as far as to abandon 25 man raiding in general, as the majority of players (at least IMO) do not care about the content so much as just getting purple gear. Some people enjoy the 25 man raid because it is more fun to them and it is a better way to experience the content, but with the 10/25 tiering, there will be a whole lot less guilds running 25s as the majority that may struggle at the 25 man level or who are aspiring to be a 25 man raiding guild will just forget about it and run 1 or 2 10 man groups.
