Two of our 14 guilds in the 330m to 470m GP range had a Chieftain at R7. A good chunk had one at relics, but not R7. A handful don't have one at relics, but they are 7*. Dropping under 330m gets significantly worse.
but how many of those guilds were getting 6/6 on Tat Ops? That's the question. Or rather, how many will be deprived of 6/6 with the change? Sure there are lots of guilds that don't have an r7 Chieftain. But that's not relevant if they aren't going to be deprived of 6/6 because of it.
So how many guilds won't have an r7 Chieftain next week but would have gotten 6/6 except for that one character?
Immediately and needlessly dismissing the most correct course of action the devs should have taken (and also the one that happens to be the most favorable to the player base) helps to guarantee that it's one the players can't win.
While I hear you, I don't actually agree that using a Sidioius-like toon is "the most correct course of action".
Personally I think that simply giving more notice is **at least** as correct as going with a Sidious-like toon.
