The main problem is that our populations are not blizlike. On blizzard low pop server is 7.5k, high is 20k. You can pick and choose raids all day long if you want. Ultimately blizlike is that people can do PvE, and on a private server with tiny population like 5k rules should be to facilitate that "blizlike" experience as much as possible. On retail if someone doesn't want to organize a raid (many more ppl do not want to organize thier own raid), can simply easily get into raid all day long without any worry of reservations, on here may take a couple of weeks to find one. Thats the issue we shouldn't gloss over. PvE is basically dead here, yeah some well organized guilds can slap together a raid, but this is nothing like blizlike experience. Its like saying, if you want to PvE go join retail, which is unacceptable.
