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. ...

This thread seems to be spiraling out of control. My own take on this is the exclusive gear IS a monumental change in the game. I have been playing since September 2016 and I dont recall any raid that had “exclusive” gear that was locked behind the toughest raid. For me the question is how much of an effect is the exclusive gear going to have. I dont have an answer for that. If arena rank was extremely important to me (which I will admit I have neglected forever in that I am content in the 200-500 range) then exclusive G12 gear would be a HUGE deal to me. Irregardless of my opinion on the impact of that gear what I find even more disturbing is the power shift in this raid. Traya and full G12 piece drops were already enough to widen the gap. Now with more exclusive rewards that NO ONE can get unless they belong to a Heroic Sith guild just seems to push the middle guys out of the picture.
Fundamentally for those of us slogging T4-T5 Sith raids I find myself in the position of just hating the raid. The challenge part of it is not what I hate. The rewards I get for that challenge do not seem to match the time and effort spent. That’s what I hate. And instead of addressing that (Crumb stating that they will “evaluate” T1-T6 rewards what a joke!) the Devs just flat out ignore it and give the Heroic Sith guilds more of a carrot to dangle.
I remember the days of people jumping ship for HAAT guilds. I am seeing a LOT more of it now with the Devs making exclusive gear for only Heroic Sith. I am not so ignorant to say it isnt fair. People have different goals for what they want out of the game. I get that there should be a reward for beating the hardest raid out there. At what point does that reward become too much an advantage? I think for me that’s the million dollar question.
The only answer I can come up with is either:
Do something to where your guild can get to that level
or
Dont do anything to improve
I am the guild leader of a 92M GP guild. We arent ready for HSITH yet. That doesnt upset me. We are working with members in building teams that will help us get to that goal. It will take time and patience. What really upsets...well let me rephrase that...what really makes me scratch my head is why the Devs just seem to be unwilling to want to improve rewards for those of us who simply are not HSITH ready. If the Devs REALLY wanted to throw us lower Tier raiders a bone imagine a zeta reward payout for say completing a T4-T6 raid and NOT making a zeta payout for HSITH. Not fair to HSITH you say??? Now you can imagine feeling a bit of our pain.
I think there's one more option. Complain to the devs loudly enough with enough people to get them to change it. It has worked in the past. It can work for this.
