The Eternity Vault

After watching the recent release of the eternity vault game play I find i'm more excited then before about trying raiding in SWTOR.  It looks like it will require alot of group cooperation to do the operations and that they will be a challenge.

The thing that worries me is how they plan on doing difficulty for the operations, they keep saying there will be adjustable difficulties, and I see several possible problems.  The most obvious if that they make them too easy, or not give better look for doing it on harder modes. As long as they at least follow the normal vs. heroic difficulty of WOW it won't be to bad.  Ideally they should make the normal mode the eight man operation and the heroic mode the 16 man thus making it a true challenge for those only used to smaller raids and making both sizes of operations used by all raiders.

I wonder if they're going to go with the standard raid timer lockouts?

Guilding

I was just listening to the new Multiverse podcast, Guildcast and it made me think.  I don't run a guild, I've tried it and been an officer in a couple and found running a guild to be too much for me, I'm just not the type of person who makes a good guild leader, and only an adequate officer.  I have found I now have to opposite problem when i play a game, finding a good guild.  I find I'm often at a loss in how to find a good, fun guild.  Part of that is me as I'm often quiet in chat (both text and voice), and I enjoy wandering off the path and often play solo.  But I like grouping with a good group and love raiding.  I'm thinking that i'm going to have to turn over a new leaf in SWTOR and begin actively pushing and hunting down guilds, not sure if I should try guild hopping until I find a good one though like many of the people I know, it seems pretty annoying. I'm more a find a guild stay with guild person, so it will be an interesting trip.
