SE Please Return Alexander:Creator on Raid Finder

[LisannaTargaryen]

It literally makes no sense since there is no other raids being added in HW to remove creator from the raid finder.

One of the best features of Raid Finder is the ability to select Duty Competed / Duty Incomplete.

By moving it to the Duty finder you removed the ability and people try to sneak with bonuses and generally don't even try to queue via Duty Finder because they know there gonna be bonus people.

Also make 0 sense since fights like Thordan are still in Raid Finder.

I agree with this, yesterday I had probably one of the worse few hours of alexander. I spent a good 2hrs trying to farm a9s, to be fair when I'm free I join practice parties and help out, I never called anyone out for poor performance or lack of mechanics awareness. However my issue lies with people expecting to get carried, literally no effort to learn, listen to instructions or ask..

Getting hit my scrapline again and again, killing people with acid raid, declining raise, not tanking together during faust, BLM rotating between fire 1-2 and blizz 1-2. (despite instructions btw).

I would also like to see it return. I know people have to learn somewhere but Duty Completion was one of the best features of Raid Finder

Oh come on now. Engaging in some kind of discussion, and then loudly proclaiming "wellllllll no one wants to discuss it because [x] reason" just makes you sound more hostile than you're probably intending to be.

No, people aren't immediately swarming into this thread to give you 20 pages worth of discussion within the first hour. Do you really think it's because glamours aren't the primary topic? Is there any kind of basis in that reasoning that isn't purely anecdotal?

i don't get it anyway why they remove the "old" raid from the raid finder, while putting the old ex primals in there...

Apparently they do so like they did with Coil before, trying to push the Clear Rates for Future Relevant Content, probably beating Savage Creator might alter some Dialogues in the Main Story or in the next Raid?

Tho, you have a Point with the Primals... xD

They do it purposely to avoid what the OP is asking for. They want people with experience to queue into it to help new players get their first clears. Removing loot and echo is basically the devs way of saying "we'll make it easier, but please help people clear." Let's face it, a lot of people won't take anyone with bonus, however they'll grudgingly accept it if queue times are fast enough.

It kinda works in JP data center since most people come in knowing what to expect/do, even if they have bonuses, which is precisely why previous ex trials are farmable as soon as they got added into DF. Occasionally there are people going in blind expecting to get carried, though most of the time they at least know the fight. From what I've heard/read about NA/EU data centers' DF (practice in DF, clear/farm in PF) it probably doesn't work as well as it does here.

Then again regardless of that, it's weird to have old ex trials like thordan on RF while putting a12s on DF lol.

Nah wasnt to be snarky or anything else. It was sad to see only 2 replies since morning. At least my comment bumped it and some more people chimed in. But ye glamours etc gets tons of posts if you see today's activity alone. Tbh something that "affects" at max 5% of the playerbase and for some is a non-issue as well shouldnt be suprised. I just wish it got a dev responce why the made that choice.
