Bonds of Weakness Change Followup (MEGA)

The Nightsisters rework was the first step in bringing parity to the arena meta. Messing with that now because the few people who actually have Traya can do the raid faster than before they unlocked its reward seems daft, misguided and harmful to every other phase of the game.

@CG_TopHat , you're punishing anyone who put in the time and money (seeing as MT was p2p for a long time) to build a NS arena team because three people actually have a 7-star Traya and can auto-solo a bit of your precious, new raid after grinding through *how many* of those raids to even have that toon at seven stars?!?!

This defies logic. Having any of those toons without Traya doesn't make one phase of the raid a cakewalk. Simply saying, "so sorry," and giving back zeta mats does not seem very well thought-out, and it hardly seems to be in the same zip code as a viable solution to an exploit available to only a tiny segment of this community.

Guilds have split up and people have quit this game over this raid. While many of us *have* stuck that out and found ways to improve and work through it, it's both reactionary and misguided to punish so many players who aren't even close to being able to use such an exploit.

And is it really an exploit? People can auto-solo multiple phases of the tank raid, now. Anybody with any combo of toons can auto-solo the pit raid. What is the harm when a miniscule percentage of a percent of your players found a way to auto-solo one phase of this, when they are clearly the only ones who can do it?

Fix the mechanic of the raid on your end. Don't punish those who've given you their time and money simply because you rolled out STR without enough testing, or because (gasp) the one percent can do it easier, now.
