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...

This feels like a random edge case affecting you specifically. First of all, rewards timing doesn't really matter anymore. You have a steady income of tokens, use them as needed or save some up for "event locks."
Second of all, this timing issue doesn't actually change the amount of raids you do in a week, so I fail to see how it's an issue at all.
Considering someone else also posted a thread about raids not auto launching, I can guarantee it's not just affecting me specifically. And just because you fail to see how this is an issue, it doesn't mean it isn't one. If this has impacted one guild it can, and will, impact others. I'm trying to help before it becomes a similar problem for other guilds. How about you willingly delay your raids and waste tickets? No? Then it's a problem.
Explain it then. How does a 6 minute delay actually affect anything? Let's say it launches "on time" and you don't "waste tickets". Do you get to run an extra raid this month as a result? Or does your raid still launch at the end of this raid regardless?
If I have 135k tickets and the raid doesn't auto launch and I waste 15k tickets, how is that not a problem?
The raid runs for 3 days and costs 90k tickets. Coincidentally, during the 3 days the raid is running, you earn 90k tickets. So, unless you somehow start only gaining, like, 15k tickets, it won't be a problem, because a raid is always on.
If other guilds get 6 minute delays regularly and also waste tickets, is that not a problem? Those are tickets that would have granted extra wiggle room with participation, maybe it does eventually equate to an extra raid at some point.
Regardless, it's something that SHOULDN'T be happening. It's a design oversight that should be reasonably easy to rectify.
Again, how about you delay your raids by a day and waste tickets? Then keep doing that once for every guild that has the issue. And you'll finally see that a little bit of a problem for lots of people is a problem.
The 6 minute delay is meaningless for any guild that existed when the raid launched, because you will always simply have enough tickets. Whether you "waste" all 30k or 1k or you timed it differently so you launch before reset and never "waste" any. It's simply never going to be an issue for you guild because, except for those 66 minutes every 3 days, you will always have a raid going.
