Also as a short response to the lack of progression through raids now there never used to be much. I was fairly short on time on week nights when wraith first came out so I didn't raid. By the time I was raiding people were in ulduar. They didn't want to go back to naxx to get someone geared and I don't blame them at all for that. By the time you've raided a lot of these places every week for months you don't want to see them again for years. So being able to get to entry level gear for the major raid at the time in that regard isn't bad. Yes people have to learn raiding skills but they were going to have to do that at some point anyway.
