WoW is increasing the ranks of the players who will not accept raiding ever again. As more players realised it implications, and what it meant. DREAMING is of the essence, and raiding kills dreaming before it can even be born. And many players would play longer if they don't stumble on raiding.

Heh, yeah you said that exact same paragraph before. Trouble is, it's still not reality. The reality is that WoW has INCREASING subscribers. If, what you are saying is true - then WoW, EQ, EQ2, Lineage 1 & 2, FFXI, etc. Should all be at the BOTTOM of the subscriber list.
But, since reality is the opposite of what you say. Then perhaps you need to re-evaluate just how committed you think all the Raid-haters are. They are still PLAYING Raiding MMO's! You just are not doing a good enough job in convincing them! Keep it up though. Perhaps in time, I know you can do it!
Well the last couple of mini patches etc, combined with some tweaking of .ini files has at least made the game playable for me which is a start. Just for the record though.... Im running a 64x2/4200 with 4gb RAM and 2 XFX 7900 GT's, shes no slouch, but I cant get major detail settings above 30% or its slideshow time.
Razor if you could find the time could you update us on what you notice if anything from playing with the ram .Am building a new system and i was going to build a smoking rig so my wife could use my old one in vanguard and with all ive been reading am starting to have second thoughts about just what i will build I know for playing single person games yes what i was building would rock them , but i havent been able to finish a single player game in a long time lol
Funny everytime ive upgraded it seems like i still get the same old crap happening only its a little prettier doing it
Will do. Im gonna try pulling out 2GB this weekend and see what happens.

The problem most people have is not with the graphics, its with the animations and spell effects, they are totally lame.
I will repeat it, once again, just for the sake of making sure peoples don't forget it.
My main problem was always about raid been enforced on me, 100% or 20% is still way too much. I don't know how many different variations of saying that I can find, but I will try. I also think that quite many persons are turning away from Vanguard for the exact same reason. A casual CAN dream to complete a quest for a group, for tradeskill, for solo, for diplomacy...but a casual CAN'T DREAM about completing the ultimate raiding reward. When someone can't dream, you lose much of the players. Even me, I can't dream about that, since I don't raid. Now, if I can't dream about grouping in Vanguard to the highest summit, I tell you that many casuals won't be able to dream about it either!
Again, raiding is the problematic keeping me away from Vanguard, just like PvP could keep away many carebears away from a game like AoC or DAoC prior Gaheris. Raid-free servers are really needed! And they are needed at release, no matter how buggy! Adding them later would get only a fraction of the benefit while angering some peoples on other servers, since you change the "rules" AFTER they select their servers and invest themselves, you can't do that post-launch.
PS: And before you start thinking I am a part of an insignificant minority, do you think that peoples who don't raid are likely or unlikely to join online forums about videos game? I rest my case, for now...
Been out for a few days... I may get banned for this, but I have to say it...
1) We may not have a body like the Rock or be hung like Ron Jermey, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't play with what you do have.
2) Our wives & girlfriends may not be be Jessica Alba, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun with them.
3) See 1 & 2, and shoot for High Score!!!
I'll start my own SWG... with Black Jack... and Hookers!!!
