Please please please fix Sith Raid Rewards
Look I'm not a meta player. My GP is 2.4 million. Respectable, but not super high level. My guild used to have some good players and it was decent chemistry that we took in new players and helped them. We weren't strict with too many rules and had a great environment. Then this Sith raid rolls around and blows everything up on us. We run a tier 5 Sith raid and it takes forever, but hey maybe we'll all get some great rewards and it will be worth it. Nope. Nada. Garbage for a huge time sink. No way our guild can go higher than tier 5 unless we have our sights set on a Christmas completion.
So now the real heavy hitters start to leave our guild. While they were fine prior to the Sith raid rolling through Pit and HAAT and the rewards there now it's no longer worth it. So now to not make it as painful for the newer players we drop tiers to something that they can feel like they contribute in as well. After all it's a reasonable strategy. Lower a tier or two so you can complete multiple times in the hope of better gear to make yourself stronger to do higher tiers. I don't expect a lower guild to be able to roll over Heroic Sith or even attempt it, but I do expect that you will get gear suited for all player levels in a guild based on placement/rank to continue advancing.
This morning I woke up and was the 2nd place finisher for our Sith Raid. Do you know what I got? 7 MK2 Beta Gel Prototype Salvage, 1 MK 7 TaggeCo Holo Lens (complete ooohhhh ahhhh) and 10 MK5 Chiewab Hypo Syringe Prototype Salvage. Pretty much garbage to advance any of my team to contribute better or help push us to the next tier. I can only imagine what trash the people below me got and this is probably one of the "better" drops I've gotten in a while. And before you say RNG and you can't look at one raid it is not one raid. It is the same across many raids we have run. i just didn't take the time before to write it down.
So what's the target of this raid? Is it meant to be on par with the other raids? If so I can understand why a tier 3 reward here mirrors a tier 3 reward of say The Pit. But if the reward structure is the same then the effort should be. So I should be able to auto Sith on Tier 3, but I don't want that. No one does. What I want though is a reward commiserate with my effort and time spent and as it relates to the team I have put together to fight the Sith and the effort for that as well. The reward should not only reflect all of that, but should be something that helps advance one and their guild to the next tier. This trash will not.
So what do I do? Leave my guild as well and say too bad newbs. Deal with it on your own. I'm sure that will create a happy and health new player base and isn't beneficial to anyone. So for the love of god pretty please with a cherry on top fix the reward system for the Sith raid. I don't care if you don't have it all sorted out. We have suffered long enough that if you over compensate us we'd all consider it past due. So say here is a temporary patch where we will bump up our drop tables a bit while tinkering with it rather than doing the opposite which is what you have done and in the mean time this raid is becoming less and less worth my tie and effort.
Sorry for the length. TL/DR please help.
