The ATT Tank Raid is difficult. (Merged Threads)

As the 2nd rank in a normal AAT raid, can confirm the loot is about 30% better than say 10th. Some simple math:

Garbage x 1.3 = Garbage

Well look at that.

Well your half eaten burrito sorta garbage is much better than bottom level "liquid chocolate filled Depends" sorta garbage though.

In my guild a shark also

These whales and/or dolphins you speak of probably left to join or were poached by other, more stronger guilds who had better prospects of completing these raids; or doing it faster than the guilds they were in.

I may be wrong in your particular case, but this phenomenon is happening to many guilds.

Fair enough. Many guilds are struggling since this raid was rolled out.

Personally, I prefer to think they didn't know what they were doing. I can deal better with lack of thourough testing of content than designing a raid (of which you absolutely need to obtain gear to progress) targeted for 1% of the playerbase.

While I would love to share your hope, the raid was delayed over a month (remember all the "August" jokes - the raid didn't drop until October). Allegedly (and according to the devs who posted) that delay was due to "thorough testing" of the new raid. Incidentally, a raid which had a reset glitch which was exploited by some players.

All of that said, if the raid wasn't tested for technical glitches and exploits, what WAS it tested for? If it was tested for balance, maybe it's "working as intended".

i read about that too(mention about top notch raid and in testing), turns out another mass disappointment, no surprise.
(about last part) maybe dev trying to buy some time

People that are quitting now were going to quit soon anyways or were looking for a reason.

Gen Kenobi and the yellow gear "uber gear for uber guilds" isn't prevalent enough yet for people to get "pissed" and quit.

Basically the game is exactly the same but with a NEW raid you can't complete.

When Gen Kenobi is in the top 10 and all the whales are level 85 + gear 11 people can rightfully bitch and quit imo but until then.... may as well just play your same game.

Regardless of the OP's three guildmates, they have lost my $20-$50/month (yeah, I'm sure they care too), and Think Gaming has them on a fairly steep revenue decline. After initial launch they were still climbing from the level cap and getting close to $120k/day. They are now down to PoGo levels, at $72k/day, which is down from yesterday's $75k/day.

They've identified that they'll be at a huge disadvantage in Dec.when the first GK's become unlocked, and just decided to cut their losses now.
