Sadly it is way too late to try and save raiding in this game. A large portion, if not everyone, who cared about high end hardcore raiding has left this game in search of greener pastures. Crystal Tower was their last chance at retaining interest in this game but has been shaping up worse and worse with each new sneak peek. To try and go back now and do OP changes would probably take a minimum of six months. It's an impossible time frame to bring anyone back to the game given how trust has been so thoroughly shattered in their dev team. Frankly, Yoshi and his dev team are too inexperienced at mmos to bring about the game a lot of people want, from at least a hardcore perspective (though I don't see any real content to keep any one interested for long.).
