Not only do we set low expectations for children, but American culture almost glamorizes it when they meet those low expectations with shows like 16 and Pregnant. We are a society of the fear these days. Everyone screaming for these parent's head. Why? A 16 year old can't do it? Well her brother did it. Good luck trying to tell a strong willed girl like Abby "Sorry, you're not as good as capable as your brother." And people think they were crazy for letting her brother go, but I have no doubt that after having done what he did -- is there any challenge that life will throw at him that won't persevere through?

Actually I think is going to boost smaller guilds. I'm not understanding Cinderus' point. If a small guild has a loot hungry player who gets easily frustrated with lack of progression, that guild is going to lose that person regardless of combined loot tables or not. And most small guilds would probably not mind losing a player like that. Most small guilds I know are small because they're more "family type". In the smaller guilds players are people -- not just a class/spec.

I'm in a small guild that has just enough people to fill a 10 man. We do well and have fun. The combined loot table is going to be awesome for our guild.
