Yes, I'm bored as a casual raider, but thankfully everything is pugable.

It looks like Ulduar is going to have an absolutely rediculous amount of gear drops, they are talking possibly up to like 800 pieces. SW had 160 or something. Big difference.

It looks like they are going to make a LOT of gear only drop in hard modes, and as long as they are a check like sarth3D is, it's a pretty great way to keep the best items in the hands of the best players. Because of this, I don't see where all the problems and bitching are coming from. You are getting your gear/skill checks, you are getting your pieces of gear for just the elites, you are getting the casuals to see the content. Everyone is happy, complain less.
