Response to Raid Economy Update
@CG_Tusken_Meathead While it's good to see CG isn't completely blind to the issues and concerns, other than the Kyrat rewards, nothing else was addressed in your post considering the other raids and ...

I am guessing from CG's point of view they saw everyone saying that guilds should choose the Sith Raid instead of their brand new Krayt Raid that they worked so hard on. That would be a major failure and so they rectified that situation.
As far as rewards being equivalent or better than what we used to be getting through doing all of the raids, that did not seem to be a problem for them. I think just about everyone here things it is a problem and some people have tried to present some numbers.
From the February Road Ahead:
I don't think the original Personal track rewards "equal and replace" the old "simmed" rewards. Now, since most of them have been moved to the Guild Rewards, they certainly don't. Do they with the new Guild Rewards? No idea.
Now, the question is whether there are "more bountiful rewards than the total sum of prior raids". I think the burden of showing that is the case should fall to a CG representative.

While we will reduce the amount of locations where you can earn rewards, we’ve taken this into close consideration so that actively participating in a raid, regardless of difficulty, will earn rewards from the Personal track that equal and replace the old "simmed" rewards - ensuring that all Players retain access to those goods. Playing at higher difficulties to earn more Points will steadily gain access to new, additional rewards. Guilds participating at a high level of difficulty will see more bountiful rewards than the total sum of prior raids.
