Remove RAID checkpoints!

I know this will be wildly unpopular for you scummy checkpoint farmers but it's time to remove the raid checkpoints. You are NOT a raider if you aren't running the full raid the majority of the time. Nope, you are just a schmuck trying to impress people with having a high clear number. [b]A clear is suppose to represent a full run and finish to the raid, NOT just a single boss fight. If the number is suppose to represent a single encounter then CHANGE the emblem counter to be encounter specific (like the ghost).[/b] Yes, it will suck for those occasions when something glitchy happens and the whole team has to orbit but you know what... that is few and far between and REAL raiders won't mind starting over. You checkpoint farmers are scrubs of the highest order and EASY to spot on Raid Report with your very long string of 10 minute raid clears. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: Let me just add this here for those who say it shouldn't matter: There are leaderboards and it's not right that people who are only doing 10 minute fights and NOT the actual raid are above those of us who actually run the raid! [b]I would be ok with checkpoints if there was NO clear count for only doing the boss fight. Shouldn't get a clear unless you run the whole thing.[/b]

  • Now I'm not a Pro Leet Raider sponsored by Gamma Labs™, I'm just a stranger on the internet, but I'm just gonna come out and say that I can't support this idea. Not because I'm a checkpoint farmer, but because I like that raids give me the option to come back and tackle something if I don't get it on the first go. I don't care about leaderboards or big numbers, that isn't what the game is about to me. I've been around the block a few times and anytime I hear the words "You're not a real ___ unless you ____" my brain shuts off, because normally it's people trying to use themselves as a benchmark for what measures a member of a specific group, and that's never sat right with me. If you raid then you are a raider, you might be bad at it, you might have only done it once or twice, but if you hop into the mix, you're a raider to me. But you probably don't care about my opinion, and this entire post could be bait to get peoples goat, in which case, this is some high bait. But I digress, I'm just an internet stranger and this isn't really important. Who knows maybe they'll add a Super Cereal Mode where you have to complete the raid in one go or you start over and nobody can join in once it's started. Then everyone gets to be happy.
