The game truly is like gambling. The house has the advantage and when someone figures out a way to even the odds they send out the security team to make sure they know they won’t be taken advantage of.

Yup and I believe they should. I like the challenge of this raid. It sucks the rewards aren't better, but this isn't going to change. So I just sit back and play as often as I feel like it.

Just to show how much attention "they" pay to this place, look in off-topic. Notice anything?

It's more like removing the wheel and saying "Drive something else" -- that is if they wreck the NS team comp in the process of this. Their record of fixing these sorts of issues leads most of us to believe they will just hit the NS team with a hammer when they can almost certainly find a much much more elegant solution to this.

The issue that has players worried isn't that they'll block this infinite loop -- which they absolutely should because it is nonsense. It is that they will fix this by ruining a team many of us spent considerable resources building and that many people are actively working toward. When the Acolyte strategy emerged, the vast majority of seasoned players knew it was going to be nerfed - it's just a neat novelty. But those same seasoned players immediately recognized that the nerf might destroy something they are using, and do have.

Ok remove the wheel from a Bentley, I still dont drive one. And to the people complaining about "IF" get over it, cause it hasn't happened.

I am going to starting complaining to the sun "if" it decides to shine tomorrow my day will be ruined.

Why don't you also fix the infinite sabers throws Traya gets when we only have 1 or 2 attackers left ?
This strategy you say you are fixing requires the ultimate character in the game. This character has to have some meaning and relevance for the game. I think it was appropriate allowing to clear one phase of this new raid. And giving another option than the usual and boring Chex mix.

Better analogy: Bentley model is found to have design defect with its breaks. Bentley crashes into your Hyundai. The police write up a report that it was the Hyundai owner’s fault because they don’t want to get the Bentley owners mad and because the police have been trying to bust you for a while because they don’t like you.

Cookie for consistantly missing the point.

1. We rely on Asajj led NS to take down HSTR.
2. This "infinte loop" revolves around isolate (a traya skill), but is being stated as an asajj/acolyte issue.

The "if" in this case is a major deal & the notification is pointing at the wrong characters to fix this issue.

I'm at a loss for how you are missing this... some of us have (or almost have) a Bentley. If this fix isn't handled properly, we'll be the last ones that do for a while.

They threw it out there before they did it... presumably to get a measure of sentiment and mitigate the backlash from whatever they do... once it is done, our chance to be heard is finished.

Now is the time to speak up and let them know that it matters... a lot.

Funny how we find a loophole to their poorly designed raid, and they immediately come in for a nerf, but totally fail to solve real problems like challenge gear in raids.

I'm no rocket scientist and I get that the Sthan thing "may" have squeezed through the cracks and needed to be nerfed , but after around 7 months no one's thought hmmm Traya presents a problem let's fix it before it becomes one. This after already nerfing the previous acolyte issue? Really you caught that one but not this potential. Now junk rewards, junk raid, junk mechanics, junk experience at this point. G12+ weeee who care top 3 only get it creating a bigger gap. This raid was supposed to be the coolest most fun around and had done nothing but get anything involved around it destroyed. Perhaps it's time to expand the gamechanger program for outside testing as the inside team can never catch anything due to lack of work hours.

History would indicate that no matter what sentiment or cogent points might get made here, they will decide what they want to do and do it regardless of how it affects us. This is how things have always operated around here.
