I hope this data mined info for requirements to do the heroic raids daily doesn't stay as is. Some days it won't be too bad, but others it will take thoughtful prep 2 days out, being awake at 1am, missing a significant chunk of energy regen to stockpile it, being forced to farm low reward garbage nodes to make the numbers, and derailing hard node shard farming a couple of days a week (adding months to already slow grinds). It will still take hundreds of crystals daily on top of that. Even then every single member of a 50 person guild will have to participate fully every single day. If even one person doesn't wrap their lives around the game then the other 49 will all suffer.

Those daily activities aren't what give the guild currency to open raids.

This is a direct quote from the, "raid preview" developer update post:

"A Guild must have the earned the necessary Guild Funds in order to summon a Raid. This is done by completing Guild Contributions through Guild Daily Activities and other actions."

I quoted it directly even though I was tempted to edit out the extra, "the", but there it is typo and all. So as best we know now the daunting list of guild daily activities IS how you earn funds to open raids. I hope it isn't so harsh on release, or there are a ton of, "other actions."

Right from this post...

"The Daily Activity “Personal Guild Contribution” is the only way to earn Guild Bank Coins, which are needed to summon Raids. This activity is completed by spending Energy anywhere in the game"

Yes, EXACTLY. The daily activity "personal guild contributions" are exactly what I was talking about. If the information that has been data mined is right, and stays as is, they will be grueling. They are pulled from, "anywhere in the game." But not everywhere in the game every day. It's not just casually playing as you normally would. It's one aspect of the game each day that contributes. Like spending several days worth of cantina energy on the 8 energy nodes in a single day. And it is the, "only way to earn Guild Bank Coins" that day. The next day it will be a different task. Some aren't bad, but the ones for light and dark side battles are insane. I hope it isn't as bad as it looks from what I've read.

i hope the info in data mine is wrong. Because it will be hard for f2p, they will have to neglect completely their farming which will hinder their progress greatly, not to mention over spending precious crystal too
