The ongoing destruction of small guilds
As a leader of a 40k mill GP guild, I find it obvious that Capital Games don't want small guild like ours. With the new g12+ update, which is only obtainable via Heroic Sith Raid, this is very clear. ...

CG has never made it so that someone had to complete a heroic to obtain a type of gear before.
With the Rancor, one could get the raid gear starting at tier V.
With the AAT, one can get that gear from tier VI.
With the STR, it can only be gotten from the heroic, the tier VII.
This is very problematic whether or not people choose to acknowledge it. With the no refreshes and rarity requirements, guilds have to work up to being able to take down the heroic, not everyone can.
Always in the past, people could get that gear anyway. Sure maybe it took a month to get down tVI AAT, but you got the gear at the end of it. You could still keep up in arena, you just had to be more selective about who you geared up.
This is the ONLY place to get this gear. Now people who aren't in the top guilds CAN'T get that gear, period. This has never happened before, it is a very unhealthy shift AWAY from balance.
Just like guild event currency should come from every single tier of STR. Not getting shards for a sweet toon? Oh well, make do with lesser guys so you can work towards that guy. Not getting the gear because you're not strong enough? But you need gear to get stronger...
Let's be clear here. Someone in a tiny guild can still clear a t6AAT and get that gear even if they are doing t5Rancor. They can still get it if they want to put in the effort. Tying gear to heroic only is an abominable decision. Should at the very least be in T6 too. Really should be able to get it starting tV like raid gear in the Rancor.
