It looks to me as more of an indictment on self-defeat, not casuals ^^ I am super casual and participate in all aspects of the game from leveling to questing to farming and even slaying ntov Dragons. And I have doing it all. I understand that I am disadvantaged in certain areas because of my casual approach (for example I have no tov loot despite killing dozens of dragons), but that's my choice ^^ if I want to play more, I can, that price is too high for me though. I'm not willing to pay it. Every other casual has the same options.
The beautiful thing about the current arrangement is actually diversity ^^ Casuals must rely on hardcores to see everything just as hardcores must rely on casuals to feed the machine. There aren't enough hardcores to form a single entity and lock everything down. Conversely casuals just don't have the time investment required to progress. Casuals cannot exclude hardcores and hardcores cannot exclude casuals whom they rely heavily on to respond to batphones ^^ | ||

Can someone expand on what Sirken meant by players promising to stop the sock? As far as I understand your only options to get a raid kill are to sock or by player agreement. It seems a little idealistic to think that 100% of guilds will reach agreement for 100% of raid targets.

Players agreed to stop socking. That was back in 96-hour Variance era with just Velious targets, no rules even about FTEing a mob with a tracker on the spawn. A lot has evolved since then. Specifically the racing rules in ToV and Kael now allow for a full hour to kill your mob. Which in turn reduces socking. If you want there to be less people sitting around waiting to race, I guarantee you every guild would sign up to a 2 Racer limit if the Variance gets dropped to 2 hours. Then the socking that would occur would be 2 racers per guilds and a ranger. Hell im sure guilds would agree to give up bind sight tracking if the variance reduction was on the table. Suggesting it is off the table because socking didn't stop... when you're referring to a period of 3 years with multiple rule changes over that time? I just don't follow.
