There you have it in hard numbers at the millions playing this game roughly 60k are doing HSTR. We can say maybe another 20k might be ready to soon start doing HSTR. So that leaves somewhere in the neighborhood of 1mil+ no where close to HSTR and I would venture to say T6.

So the question is do you really think guilds that haven't already been destroyed by STR are going to put in the effort to do HSTR in 2 YEARS. The answer is NO.

I will reiterate the small guilds 70gp and lower don't have a chance in hell of keeping up with the current pace. Hell people playing 2+ years are having a hard time. With that being the case the new player retention is plummeting. I forget which gamechanger on YT it was that said over 80% of the new people quit between LvL 30 and 50.

I'm not meaning to be salty here, because I do agree with much of what you say, but there does seem to be a lot of guesswork in your "hard numbers". Do millions really play this game, if 80% of them drop out between levels 30 and 50? And where does the 20k figure come from?

From what I can tell reading this thread, the issue with STR is that many guilds who aren't doing HSTR feel absolutely no drive to push to get there, because the rewards for lower tiers are so rubbish versus the time and effort required to earn them.

Game modes like TB are much better than this, I feel. In TB the difference between one prize tier and the next is much smaller, so guilds who are earning, say, 23* are not massively disadvantaged compared to a guild earning 29*.

But as things stand, guilds not doing HSTR feel as they though may as well not bother doing lower tiers. And as long as this is the case, you are correct - the gap will continue to widen.

10 million+ have downloaded this game. If we use a little bit of reasoning since I dont have hard facts. We can assume out of those 10mil more then half quit quit within the first couple of weeks. Then we can optimistically say from the reports about new player retention that out of the 5 mil left maybe 2 to 3 million is left playing the game on a semi regular basis.

This is just a little guess work and common sense. IF thos numbers are higher in the retention department. Then you have 60k players doing HSTR and being generous lets say another 40k getting ready to step up. That leaves on the low end around 1.9 mil and on the high end maybe as much as 3+ mil. Those numbers are staggering and whats worse is CG sees this and refuses to fix the broken system.

None of us are asking for handouts but we are asking for a reasonable chance to progress to HSTR whihc at this point is impossible for 80 to 90% of the guilds. Meanwhile STR is still continuing to rip guilds apart. Yeah they increased the rewards a paltry amount of and with those rewards we should be ready for HSTR if another ridiculously hard hard raid comes out to put the final nail in the coffin.
