Lucky Bancho and NA raiding problems.
Lucky Bancho has a recent census out (dated 7-15, linked to in this reddit thread here.
What struck me was that in general, NA show a lot less completion of savage tiers than JP do, to the point of mass divergence.
I'm not mentioning this to bash raiding, but actually the opposite; SE might seriously need to consider incentivizing more people to do raids on the NA servers. I don't think it's a matter of skill, as opposed to desire; a lot of NA simply don't choose to do it, and don't have completion. This also means the whole "trickle small amounts of casual content" may work on JP servers, where many more people do savage anyways, but not on NA, where people don't. I worry it might be a pretty sharp divergence they are ignoring.
Oh, i know people complain about his methodology, but if you look at the general trends, even if raw numbers are more, we still participate much less.
again i know im a fierce critic of raiding, but this isn't here to bash. I read the data and it struck me how divergent we are, and the idea of less casual content because they expect everyone to be doing savage anyways came across my mind. And that they kind of take it for granted everyone will do it, when the data on NA shows to me a lot don't. So maybe they need to look at this and incentivize it more, similar to PvP in a sense.
