True. We aren’t losing anything. However it’s still weird to launch a new raid where every guild has to wait over 24 hours to launch and most will be waiting greater than 3 days.
If they really are so cheap that they couldn’t gift guilds three days of tickets then in my opinion they should have stopped raids three days prior to launch.
This doesn’t even consider the fact that they chose to launch the raid in the week before thanksgiving. In the best case scenario, the first guilds would have finished the raid on the Wednesday before thanksgiving with most finishing over thanksgiving holiday plus weekend.
Of course, we’ve already been told there is an issue, so it really doesn’t matter as any smart planning would have been thrown out the window. Why they didn’t just shutdown raids on Wednesday of next week, launch the Monday after thanksgiving with every guild having max tickets I don’t know.
I respect and expect that cg understands their employees have personal lives which just makes the decision to launch this week more baffling.
Edit: grammar
Stopping raids 3 days prior to launch would be bad for any guild not planning on running Endor. All they needed to do was announce it 3 or 4 days prior to launch. That would've given guilds the opportunity to not launch krayt and save up tickets if they wanted.
