Major Flaw in the Krayt Raid
The raid has a 3 day timer with a 90k ticket cost. The guild I'm in has it set to auto launch. The raid system has failed to finalize the results in time and has missed the auto launch window multiple...

Eventually. Let's say 10 seconds delay every run. Once it has happened to a guild once, and then their "immediate" is now after guild reset, then it will take 8640 more runs of the raid to come back around to their guild reset time. Once every 3 days makes that 71 years until it comes back around to happen to that guild again.
I think your definition of major flaw is different to mine, and I hope the devs don't waste any hours on this.
Setting to immediate is an adequate solution.
Here's my math in case I messed it up:
10 seconds delay per run slowly moving immediate launch.
24×60×60=86,400 seconds in a day.
86,400÷10= 8,640 number of runs to move immediate launch by a day with 10 second delay.
8,640×3=25,920 number of days to launch a raid that lasts 3 days 8,640 times.
25,920÷365=71 years (rounded down and not accounting for leap years).
This game has shown its got legs, but 71 years is crazy talk.
My guild has lost over 15k tickets because of it because our raid launch time was right before the guild reset. Rewards are eventually being delayed after TW or GAC lock. Problems happening to just 1% of guilds is a lot of people.
So over the 71 year period for this to happen to your guild again that's 15k÷71÷365=0.58 energy per day (across a 50 player guild, so 0.012 per player). Seems the definition of a negligible flaw to me.
Except this supposed 71 year period you keep mentioning happened within a week and a half of the raid being out. And again, this effects all guilds who were running raids just before the guild reset window. This effects every guild getting rewards pushed after TW lock and after GAC lock. This will very negatively effect guilds with less active officers who aren't noticing or catching the issue.
Quit being dismissive of something that is very clearly a design flaw that negatively impacts players and will continue to negatively impact players until it is resolved. As Scuba said, the fix for this is simple enough. Suggesting this be ignored is absurd.
/e Also, I have proof of raids missing the window by 4 minutes, so your 71 year period could be off by a factor of 24 and screwing guilds every 3 years is kind of messed up.
