The level of commitment raiding requires is sometimes opaque to people, I think, and the people who really devote themselves to world-firsts are people who're willing (and able) to put in the effort and time. And maybe talent has something to do with it.<br /><br />There's another very interesting article on that raiding research blog about how Method lost World 1st kill of H:Domo to Paragon by minutes.<br /><br />This is part 1, part 2 is linked at the end, I think.<br /><br />http://www.raidingresearch.co.uk/?p=1129<br /><br />Excruciating reading, as the author was listening to the vent recording of the night it happened. Wrenching.

I think too many people really get into the "hero worship" of it all and sometimes they need to remind themselves that what people at that level do (i.e. specs, rotations, methods of gearing) are not things that those of us in more "normal" modes of progression would do. <br /><br />At the same time, I also think it's great to show that they are like us, in that they are real people, with jobs, relationships, dreams, etc. It's a nice mix of both - showing that we're different in game, but very much the same outside of the game.<br /><br />Nice post!Oestrushttp://www.thestoriesofo.netnoreply@blogger.com
