87th PLL showcases a need for change in announcing content

[Kohashi]

Not to completely disagree, but splatoon isn't some automatic thing. I DONT USE IT DEVS, but I do know what someone needs to make the presets for them, which means once strats are known, splatoon can be developed, but if you are a "hardcore" prog group, you will not get to use it. It simply won't catch up to your prog point. I don't think people should use it, but this post comes from a place of ignorance and bitterness.

Pretty much. People who do raid when content first comes out and specifically take PTO for it have 0 tools that solve the mechanics for them.
Probably they are just vomiting something they saw mentioned by other people, also with a poor understanding of the tools mentioned, just because it's the hardcore vs the "casuals" debate.

Also, regarding HC raiding, there are 2 variations of it. One that is all about competing in the world first run and which does require a lot of prep, and one that doesn't necessarily aim to compete for it, but they want to clear it asap, and a lot of hours are being sunk in.

The more accepted definition in the raiding community of what casual/midcore/shc/hc means refers to time/ week, mostly, and does not necessarily refer to the type of content; EX/savage/ults.

PS: FRU had all strats out by week 3 xd! I have a slide from day 1 for phase 1 of the fight (which is still valid to this day). Also, a lot of SIMS for the first few phases in the first week. Some people are truly insane (in a good way).
