Rancor needs to be buffed

Players can solo the T7 Raid.

That's the only argument I need.

The core of the matter is the overuse of TM mechanics.
I don't think that TM mechanics are exactly at fault here, they work as advertised.
I think that a boss needs special mechanics to be more resistant enough to prevent being soloed.

Players shouldn't be able to TM-lock down the boss.

Unwarranted animosity is unwarranted, going ad hominem and telling the poster go places and do things is a puerile non-argument.

Moving past it, there is little substance to the comment, since soloing a raid is not an exclusive power of P2P players. Sure it makes it easier, but is by no means a requirement.

A 5-char team can very very easily solo one phase, and with some effort the whole Raid, by overusing some mechanics that the "boss" was not properly shielded against. That is not a long investment for a player, and that only serves to diminish the challenge, thus making the one who spent tons in the game looking like fools, since a F2P can in a short order build a proper team to rival this feat, because he only needs 5 out of the 50 toons to do it.

It is more respectful to those who are veterans, paying customers and fans of the lore to have the Raid be a proper challenge which actually requires teamwork to be be beaten, making intelligent use of their roster of players.

They should come out with a T8 Rancor that drops 6 dot mods to be competitive with the AAT raid.

That is also a good idea, which can also reignite interest on this Raid.

They were working on a new raid with a battle tank but info has disappeared on that one.

Nothing disappeared, they are just refining it, they said it themselves. They are taking their time to release a more well-designed challenge.
