Your comments in the STR feedback thread have not gone unnoticed. We are still reviewing Tiers 1 through 6 of the Sith Raid regarding player progress. We want to see the results of the return of Rey’s Hero’s Journey which doubled the number of JTRs in the wild and should result in a significant boost to raid progress. Also Grand Master Yoda’s reworked kit (more details coming tomorrow!) should allow him to help with Sith Raid performance as well.

In addition, we will address other experiential concerns that we have pulled from numerous sources including the official forums and Reddit after we are able to gauge the impact of these changes on the raid.
We will continue to keep you posted on these upcoming changes.

This just screams to me that there was never any intention of making changes to the raid, but simply that you were just buying time and waiting for power creep to make the problem go away. The problem is, even with all the right teams the raid just isn't fun, and not really worth the time for non heroic guilds. Which means people are going to burn out and quit, ignore the raid, or move up to heroic guilds, none of which actually accomplishes your goal of waiting out power creep. It just makes for an unhappy playerbase.

Read your feedback thread, T1-6 need the rewards revamped and the mechanics tweaked to make it less of a monumental commitment for the guilds completing them.

Agreed. It also ignores that a guild where the majority only meet the minimum for the tier requirements by design will not have RJT who unlocks at 7*. RJT is not a solution to the catastrophic problems with the lower tiers because if a guild can field a majority of RJT that are needed to make the time to complete the raid bearable they can probably do heroic.

This also puts a massively unfair and unreasonable burden on RJT owners to carry guilds that by and large lack RJT and/or only meet tier minimum only to get absolutely trash rewards that don't help them (or their guild) progress towards any part of the game much less build towards the heroic tier.

My guild does tier 2/3 because we're so sick of it and the gear rewards are so bad they don't even help me improve my trash filler toons that only see use for tb platoons and extra gp for tb deployments. Think about that the rewards are so bad they aren't even helpful for improving toons that literally would have no purpose for me in game if tb platoons/deployments didn't exist.
