Were you doing the recruiting for your raids? Or did you already have a group to run with from the get-go as most did in SoM? Be honest.
40mans are terrible. They make the content too easy. You can 10 man most 40mans besides the ones that require X amount of player due to mechanics like the 4 horsemen for example. All 40mans promote is toxic loot environments, 10x more time investment, less loot distribution, anti-pug, more lag, etc the list is endless. Have you ever hosted your own 40man? It’s a full time job. There’s a reason 40mans were only a thing in 2 years of the 20 years the games been out.
Exactly. SoM failed because they forced people to farm consumes for raid where consumes were mandatory and not really optional.
No one wants to do this.
Expect SoD to fail miserably if they copy the SoM raid design choices.
