I'm not so sure. (Destiny)

True enough, and I'm not trying to be selfish, but I don't want there to be more activities I'm shut out of because I don't measure up. I'd worry that this would extend the rat race of raiding, and it would diminish the part of the raid's life cycle I enjoy the most, playing the raid with friends (with a range of skills) while it's moderately challenging.

(I actually "enjoy" the experience of blind raiding the most, but that's short-lived and I couldn't handle the stress every week.)

I'm with you. Our blind King's Fall (the only blind raid I've ever done) stands out as the pinnacle of Destiny for me. But our Crota and VoG runs over the past two weeks were just as cool, and even more "fun" in many ways. Even when we were having spots of trouble, it remained much more light hearted and relaxed than a blind raid ever could be, I think.

I never did do the whole grinding out a raid week after week thing, but I can totally see why people would. I probably would have too, but I just didn't think King's Fall was that fun of a raid to do over and over, and VoG and Crota were both irrelevant by the time I started playing. In a way, that was a blessing, because the folks I joined up with just wanted to do it for fun and help a newbie experience them.
