ok i won't read all of this crap, but i will say this - Paragon & some other hardcore raiding guilds (as far as i know) were banned from LFR ((for first several weeks or week.)lookiing for raid) so they didn't have the new gears & all that smooth sh*T. . also b4 they even started, they weren't able 2 enter teh raid for like a week or two from the release & also it was christmas/NY time, so they didn't contribute so much time for raiding, as for their families.
