G12 and Heroic Raid Reward Changes [MEGA]

I can double the amount of Priuses but they ain't winning the Indy 500.

I can see your thinking, but you're thinking the wrong way. Instead of trying to see if more of the only viable team makes a difference, ALLOW MORE TEAMS TO BE VIABLE.

RJT is by no means a Prius in this game....

@CG_SBCrumb Doubling the amount of RJT the third time around most likely means that the RJT owners are very spread out. First time around you get the whales and big spenders. Often highly concentrated in high end guilds. Second time around was all the people who prepared for her and more light spenders, high end f2p. Probably still concentrated in high end guilds, some more spread out. Third time around it's going to be a much larger number of people yes, but the more average player that is getting RJT the third time around is going to be spread out through a wider variety of guilds, and the middle "tier" of guilds that are doing T4/T5 of the Sith raid are probably all getting a couple of RJTs, but there are far more guilds at that level. Sure the number of RJT in the wild doubled, but that doesn't mean that all of those guilds are going to be able to move up to heroic (the only tier with decent rewards), it just means there are now a lot more players, who have high end heroic quality teams, in guilds that are unable to move up a tier because the whole guild isn't exactly the same.

RJT is essentially the only team worthwhile in P1 of heroic. We all get it. But just because the # of RJT doubled doesn't mean that everyone is going to move up to heroic and forget about the laughably bad rewards from the lower tiers. A couple RJT in every mid-tier guild is what's happening. Sure it might push some over the edge from T6 to heroic, but the mid-tier guilds are still in a really bad spot. Honestly, never been happier that a few of us left our old guild to move to a new heroic ready guild when it was released simply because if I were still in a guild doing T5/T6 I'd be miserable.

I understand trying to fix the rewards for heroic to be in line with what you had intended them to be, but if lower tier guilds aren't getting the gear that can help them get toons to g12, and then more pieces of g12 gear as well, theres no point in having lower tiers.

On a different note, I'm not sure how I feel about the ranks 20-50 all getting the same rewards. That means people who generally rank in the 20-30 range are going to have on average lower rewards than they could've expected, and it also means the 10 people who posted 0s and didn't help with that particular raid are getting the same rewards as the people who are putting up 5+ million damage in the 20s. I know it's a group effort, but if they aren't able to help with that particular raid, I don't really get why they should be getting the same reward box as someone who sent in multiple teams and spent an hour to get a solid score to help the guild finish the raid.
