what motivation is there to do the 25 man stuff when you can just as easily do the 10 man versions? |
1) Preference: some people prefer the larger size, rather than the stripped-down feel of 10-man raiding. It's a bigger party!
2) Fight differences: larger raid means more room to toy with mechanics. Also with the increased iLvl, you can expect the devs to make the 25-man version of boss encounters more challenging, and more tightly tuned.
3) Prestige: the race to down bosses will be for the 25-mans. The 10-man versions won't be competitive due to the tuning, and the ability to outgear from 25-man version.
4) slightly better gear to use elsewhere: Solo grinds, dungeons, 10-man raids, PvP. Granted, PvP gear would in turn be better for that particular endeavor, but it's worth a mention.
If you end up running 10-mans and the above items don't strike your fancy, then be happy with your raid size. If instead, you're looking for that extra challenge, then perhaps 25-man raiding is for you?
