All I can say is a WoW "joke", which matches 1:1 this post too: "Is this an out of season April fools joke?!"
Like it has to be. Right? Please someone tell me it is.
I'm really not sure which is worse:
- the Pirate GL (sooooo many way better candidates in the SW universe to be introduced as a GL sooner than this crap)
- the new raid reqs, for which 4 teams are not even farmable yet (the 2 pirate squads you mentioned, DS clones, and Mace/JVs), and 1 team (new BB) are barely farmable.
- raid thematics/lore/teams used is a complete joke and mismatch, at least Naboo had story relevant units there
- raid reward track UNCHANGED when 4 teams ARE NOT EVEN FARMABLE. Like this has to be the biggest F U to f2p playerbase/guilds.
I'm really not sure what your goal is/was with this raid, but certainly wasnt keeping your players or getting new ones into the game.
