Getting better crates gets you better gear so pushing the krayt raid benefits you more.

I think it comes down to investment v/s returns.

For a guild hitting 150M, they are over the 130M box but no where near the 265m box.

Prior to the loot changes to move some rewards forward there was a 170m? tier IIRC.

They removed that so now its pretty hard to justify the return on pushing for 265 if you are 100 million away when the raid is going away.

Very true, but that person's guild is at 490m so they should be close to getting the 265m crate. That gives everyone 900 more Mk3 tokens every three days. That would help their guild out greatly for the next 4-6 months.

Again, you fail to realise that the top 40 guild you are in is very different from most other guilds.
To get near the 256m box you need a fair bit of focus from all members.
On average all members in my guild is short 1 GL + some other toys.
Pursuing those permanent gains which benefit personal crystal income and support TB/TW efforts permanently has a better overall ROI compared to temporary raid benefits.

Those of us who could easily push above 5.4 are better off pursuing ops toons for an extra ROTE star, which will bring us more permanent gains as a guild.

We could probably push 190m right now but not super comfortably and the gap to next box is way to big to be bridged economically for short lived gain.

LordDirt labours under the misapprehension that guilds can just flick a switch and earn the 265m reward crate.

He’s in a top 40 guild (by Krayt Raid scoring), which is commendable, but he can’t shake the view that any guild in or around their GP that isn’t earning 265m must be a shower of poorly-led button mashers.

I’m genuinely impressed by LordDirt’s guild’s dedication to the Krayt Raid, but I still can’t get my head around how he can’t see that for most guilds the outlay required to reach the 265m reward will take months to earn any benefit at all for the guild so just is not worth it.

I understand most can’t but 490m should be close like I said. I don’t understand how you missed that.

I didn’t miss it.

There are now 39 guilds who have earned the 265m crate.

There are well over 200 guilds who have earned the 130m crate (I’ve no idea how many more, but I know that the 200th guild has scored 139m points).

I’d love to know why you think a guild at 490m “should be close”. Why?

I guess they got their millions relicing non meta characters.

Ah yes - I forgot - all guilds not achieving what a guild with 46 r8 Jabbas have are terrible and poorly led.

They would get more R8 material getting better rewards in the Krayt raid. ;)

So to speed up the process of getting 46 r8 Jabba, a guild should earn the rewards that you need 46 r8 Jabba to earn.

You should be in sales.
