With the new looking for group / dungeon finder tool, and as a result of moving to a new server and participating in a huge number of random groups, I have seen two trends tend to present themselves in the players that show some semblance of competency in groups (note that the names are not [...]

This is not the first time I have decided to write about this topic, but a number of things recently have sparked some frustration regarding the way ten man and twenty-five man raids are treated (and I’m not even talking about hard modes, just the standard raid content on normal).
