You are reciting folklore, not facts.You can grind mobs in Silverpine. Have fun.I do not remember it being unskippable though. At the same time, I do not remember there being an easy alternative for the 15-20 level range.
You misunderstand the thought experiment. This wasn't a calculation based on their skill or raid composition. They ran through the most class stacked and efficient raid composition that was mathematically possible and ran with 100% of the possible DPS uptime without taking into account the possibility of mistakes. And it was impossible with that premise. They didn't try to bash their heads against the encounter until something was working, it was purely a mathematical, theoretical exercise that took into account the best possible scenario. I'm sure it's possible to find the relevant thread with WayBackMachine.There was nowhere near the level of class stacking, raid splitting, etc in vanilla as there was in later expansions.
This is the post most people reference.

I am able to accept when I am wrong, so feel free to show me those calculations about a 30 warrior group with full world buffs being insufficient, or whatever it is you were implying.
