Why don't we raid anymore?
Do you think there is a definitive reason why the game is less populated than before?
I think it's because we don't raid anymore.
Why don't we raid?
I think the reason is simple, we just don't like hanging around with strangers, especially when some of them struggle in the parts of the game that most of us take for granted and do with ease.
We don't like a mismatch of interest and experience in the game. We would raid if all 6 people had the same experience and knowledge in Destiny. But that has become a relic of the past, a unicorn, or simply a dream that we will never see become true, no matter what they do.

[quote]Why don't we raid? [/quote] 1. Time commitment Even old raids take some commitment to learn the mechanics and encounters. I’d wager not a majority of the population has the desire nor time available to commit. Let alone go to the headache of finding 6 like minded guardians these days. 2. Loot Old raids loot is pretty much outdated (to a few exceptions) and new raid requires feats to be worthwhile, which feeds directly into issue #1. 3. Fun As far as I’m concerned I don’t even find Raid mechanics appealing: standing on a plate, hold a buff, jumping through hoops… it’s ok if that’s your thing, for me it’s not. 4. Community How many people just in the Dungeon quit after a few fails. FtF takes ages to find a team of 3, forget 6, and lots of people don’t, won’t or can’t communicate (language). Of the top of my head…
