The difference is, that with a "sim" noone has to send some toons into it, put auto and wait annoying 10-20mins.
yeah, you're missing the point. So long as one person is having fun doing it, then no one else "has to send some toons into it". They can do nothing & accept a random rank.
besides the rewards are much better for the guild in average, than before- and much better than HAAT btw.
that's not an argument for simming HAAT. That's an argument for changing the reward structure. I agree that the reward structure has to be changed.
If you say the whole point is to have fun, you have a strange idea of fun, when this autoplay is fun for you.
Quote the part where I said that autoplay is fun, or the part where I said HAAT is fun for me, personally. I'll wait.

Oh, wait! We're you just making that up? Interesting.
Looks like my argument stands, then:
IF you have at least one player in your guild who enjoys HAAT,
==> THEN no one has to auto HAAT if they find auto'ing HAAT annoying.
People who find the raid annoying can simply allow other people to do the work for them.
==> ERGO, no one "has to" auto HAAT if they don't want to do so
Q. E. D.
This makes the most reasonable response to finding HAAT annoying a strategy of registering for the raid & then ignoring it. If no one has solo'd the raid after 47 hours, then maybe you have an argument that someone in your guild might be "forced" to do the raid.
Importantly, the effort to register for HAAT & letting someone else solo it is identical to the effort required for HAAT & letting the CG server sim it.
