I have been making that contention since I capped Lochnar. Even though I have much of my day available to play, other factors make it difficult to stay at the keyboard more than an hour or so at a time, without an afk. 5 mans sometimes get annoyed when you have to afk and, for raids, it's even worse. If there is content I can play at a casual pace, going afk when need be, without holding up other players, I am a happy camper. Casual content doesn't have to be solo. Blizzard would better serve themselves, and a large part of their player base, if they didn't concentrate everything in mega-instances. They could create several smaller instances. Each one could offer 2 or 3 goals, be they named bosses or find the foozle, instead of 10 or 20. They could each be geared toward different party makeups or even some that are level appropriate but still soloable. These smaller instances would take fewer resources from both a creation and a maintenance standpoint, so they would be cost effective for Bliz too.
Ah well, a Gnome can dream, can't he? :(

That would be nice but, it will never happen. As I'm sure you know, farming would be to easy if it offered charecter improving gear. so as usual actual players suffer because of possible (inevetable) exploit.
