Also, for the record, I don't think there is anything wrong with living in EJ. If that makes the game fun for certain players then that's cool in my book. It is the players that feel that everyone who wants to raid should put in a great deal of effort like they do or there is something wrong with them. That kind of attitude bothers me.
I think you should at least understand what you should be doing. Whether you can tell me whether Weapon_A is better than Weapon_B for your current gear setup (when both are very close to each other) isn't as big of a deal for me as long as you're doing decently. I just don't think it's fair when someone wants to put in absolutely no effort yet loves to tag along and ride on the coattails of everyone else's effort.
Yes, you are speaking about the other side of the extreme which I also do not believe is appropriate. Raid invites should be based a lot (not entirely) on skill. I generally like that concept. You should know how to play your class and be prepared enough. However, I don't think everyone needs to come to the raid knowing everything they need to know about a boss encounter before they fight a boss. If you have time and wish to spend it researching strats then that is wonderful and if not then it is cool because it will be explained in game. If you have the skill then it won't take long for you to learn a new encounter and that's that. However, if you don't have the skill, research the strats, then odds are it will take you longer to master the encounter then the uninformed yet skilled player. It's all about freedom of choice while also doing a reasonable amount to pull your own weight. It is that definition of what is considered "reasonable" that people argue over though.
