The reliance on all new teams truly does stink. But at least they’ve gone out of their way to make the new shards accessible without having to whale.
Bigger raid issue to me is mod management. The announcement said they tried to make battles shorter due to player feedback on Naboo. The actual battles aren’t that bad. The time sink issue is that they want to make remodding a component of solving the raids. I spend more time swapping around mods than I do running the battles. If they are continuing with this approach for Order 66, which I totally assume they will, then we need mod snapshots or some sort of more efficient mod management tool.
