All took around 45-60 minutes to complete, one took about 1/2 hour. Granted, we were all in BT+ gear, but that's still pretty impressive. @GoW — From what I’ve seen of the instances so far (I’ve seen 5 different ones) that is the case in all of them.

My guild jokes that going into LFG is like braving the elements, except instead of desert heat or arctic cold, you've got lollercopters and ninjas. Hopefully, instances in Wrath aren't as tough to group for or as long to run, and their design changes make healing/tanking less sacrificial. That's their stated design goal (one hour or less runs), and it'll be awesome if they can pull off. @Gnomeaggedon — I never thought of it that way, but I suspect you’re right.

As you say, I would never have bothered to have crafting alts or bank alts if I didn't have raiding mains to support. The funny thing is that even though I've just about completely stopped raiding, the infrastructure compulsion continues. @Larísa — We used to share your raiding compulsion.

But then, the other parts of the game are more accessible to me (ie. not raiding), so if I can build up the bank alt, mailbox alts, and crafting skills etc, then I will, because that is easier than spending 3 hours in LFG... and more likely to produce results I raise my hand and nod.

It seems so wise and so practical. And I envy you for having an other half who not only accepts your playing, but also is a player. When it comes to compulsions I think mine is raiding. If my real life allowed me to I'd raid 4-5 nights a week, trust me. Running instances is also fun, especially when you haven't done them 100 times, which is the case with the ones in TBC (at least it feels like it is). My game play is built around giving support to my raiding main, to give her the mats and consumables she needs to raid. Oh I envy you who have the compulsion about infra structure.
