I'm in a good mood, so this ban is only going to be for a month. When you get back, you might try reading the thread before posting.

Nah. Raiders are just asking for more content of the sort they've enjoyed from the start of the game and (hopefully) continue to enjoy. That's a reasonable thing to ask for.

The big problem with 'casuals' and raiding isn't skill, that can be learned if people are keen. It's time and organisational issues (as loads of people have said) and the fact that you probably have to leave your friendly social guild with all your mates if you are really keen on progression.

Not sure what Blizzard can do to help this. Maybe make it easier for raid groups to form outside guild boundaries -- ability for people to be in more than one guild, group servers into raidgroups (like battlegroups) so that people could raid across servers, etc. I don't think any of those things sound easy. Or ... they could make some big raids that could be accessible to PUGs as long as eg. the main tank group and main healer group was solid. So nothing too fancy execution wise but great scenery and so on.
