A case of chronic gear imbalance

[Cordie]

I cringe ... a weekly lockout.

I'm afraid learning the raid fights may only be limited by your personal skill and communication with your group. This is not something that warrants unbalancing other parts of the game -however this is exactly what they did.

Raiding needs scheduling and far more optimization than planning out what dungeon I can roll my face over the keyboard faster.

It does.. for like a whopping 15 minutes...
Raiding is the quintessential instant gratification part of the game.

You have no idea how the loot system even works in raid and gloss over the fact that raiders still have to cap scripture like "hardcore grinders"

How the loot system works? 8 drops per week, for 8 people.. do your maths.

If anything, capping lore is casual grinding. (I'd be glad to have more grinding available for the i270 Shire gear).
