Also, I'm seeing a lot of "this isn't equal to #1 rewards" - but it's not supposed to be. Only one person can get #1 rewards. This is rewards for 50 people. This is part of why rewards for placement wasn't optimal - because competing against your guild mates for rewards goes against the spirit of a guild event. You're doing the raid for the good of everyone in the guild now instead of just for yourself, and everyone benefits equally. Just like TW or TB where the rewards are shared even though some people do more work than others.
Assuming the value is roughly on par with placing 25th in the raid, then yeah, it might hurt you a bit if you were getting #1 every raid - but all the people that were at the bottom and possibly struggling to post high enough damage numbers are going to get a boost from this - which helps everyone in the guild when it comes time for TW, TB and future raids.
If you were carrying your guild before, you're still carrying them - and you still won't get rewards if you don't.
You are right on this, I should probably compare the new rewards against mid-rank rewards in the previous raids... it's just that my guild is so small that we used to complete raids in no more than 7-8 players, that is where my perception comes from.
I guess I shall wait and see how the new raids will work and then make my calculations starting from there anyway.
