or the most part it involves a ton of insanely hard mobs that take 75 person raids to kill.
exaggerate much? there are guilds that have progressed through pop without even fielding 50.

for starters most of them require you to be 65 to 70 just to join
BFD. my current bard has three days /play'ed on him, and I didnt rush to 65/10 aa. he soloed the whole way, and didn't have gear over a 3kpp drum for most of it. I think it's absolutely reasonable to expect someone to be 65, a casual player, playing 7 hours a week, who focused on leveling could ding 65 in 2-3 months easily.

Unless you are a hardcore player willing to give up real life I have found most of them will not take you in
there are highend guilds that raid where you could raid only five hours a week and still get in.

As far as pick up raids go they are iffy cause if just 1 or 2 people ***** up the raid is blown (IE the enchanter misses a spider on the MB you just lost 3 hours of your life).
so? this happens in groups, this happens in guild raids...

ou also gotta hope some jerk doesn't hail it 100 times so nobody else can get there flag.
except, that a developer has previously confirmed that multiple hails will have absolutely 0 effect on pop progression mobs.

I do not see how "balancing" responsibities outside of quitting my job is going to get me flagged when I live on the West Coast and 95 percent of the flagging raids start a 7pm Eastern.
not all raids start at 7 est. FV has at least three guilds/organizations I can think of that have at least EP flagged themselves, that are PST. look on your server message boards, or ask around.
