Yo CG, do you remember when you guys said you will flatten the rewards of The Pit raid because literally everyone can solo the raid at the same time and still get poor rewards (ranking 20th or so).

You guys tried to flatten the Sith Raid and did a horrible job at it and under delivered what you told us (more GET but everyone ranking from 1 to 50 received rewards as if they ranked #40). This isn't about the Sith Raid at all.

The Pit Raid needs to have its rewards structure reworked OR allow everyone to score the same score to have the same rank (For example top 5 people scoring 10 million should receive #1 rewards). Like in TW you can have multiple people ranked #1 if they score the same banners for defense. Extend that to the Rancor Raid or just introduce a flattened rewards but unlike the Sith Raid flattening don't decrease the amount of rewards everyone gets proportional to the guy who ranks #40 but let everyone get #1 rewards. Or allow a SIM option like GW after 150 The Pit completion you can Sim the Raid and distribute Rank #1 rewards to the entire guild if there is an issue disallowing lower guilds from benefiting from flattened rewards.
  • That would require CG giving out more rewards then they do now. Ain’t gonna happen.
  • The main reason CG couldn’t make the change you suggest is because of the imbalance issues it would immediately create.

    There is essentially one way CG could implement a flat reward system and it’s exactly how you described what happened with the Sith Raid. For everyone to get equal rewards in the guild, the overall rewards given out would need to be watered down considerably.

    It’s a matter of deciding: would you rather have a chance at getting top 5 rewards or just get a flat 30th place (just an estimate) rewards every time?

    Personally, I always seems to get fully crafted gear when I place outside of the top 25 and get garbage when I’m in the top 5
