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.

The guild recruitment forums are always full of guilds needing people. The point being if the 10/25 split kills 25 man raiding, that simply means the large raid concept was a poor option to begin with. If there is an alternative to it that people would rather do, why try to force it down our throats? That said, I do doubt that 25 man raiding will die with the expansion. As much as people say they don't raid for gear, I suspect its still a relatively high priority for most raiders. Why else continue to farm content for so long, especially if its not gear thats holding you back from higher tiers.
