Blizzard has announced this week that they will be revamping the lockouts on their raids in World of Warcraft. Will this change bring about the end of raiding and a return to PvP as the endgame or are we looking at a new age of raiding? David "Xerin" Piner takes a look at that and more today in "The End of the Golden Age of Raiding."

Traditionally speaking, raiding has always been considered a hardcore sport for those who have the time to commit to it. Casuals are the ones who alt or farm gold or sit around chatting all day. The hardcore are those who take the time to go through the instances, down the bosses, and collect their rewards (and inflate their egos). The casuals use the game as an advanced chat client to talk with their mates and everything else is just a time waster while the hardcore are the ones who play the endgame in order to gloat.
