Focus: The Anatomy of a World First Kill →
Kind of an interesting article, if you’re into WoW raiding.
I found the information about Paragon’s time commitment to be extremely relevant. They did say that in order to be world first, their members were “skipping school and work” to commit hours, but normally their schedule is very casual.
“In ICC, on normal mode weeks it took us seven to eight hours per week to clear ICC three times, ToC heroic two times and ToC normal three to four times. The only time we had to make sacrifices was the heroic opening week. Everyone was skipping school or work the best they could to be on when the servers came online. That lasted three days, and we only started the raid early the two first days,” Sejta says.
Since then, the guild has raided four days per week, each time for about five hours. Now the Lich King is dead, and the guild will go back to raiding one day per week for about three to five hours, which is a lot less than even the most casual raiding guilds. “Everyone can relax now and focus on other things. Then they will be hungry to raid when the next content is released,” Sejta says.
