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]

12 RepliesHow about the people trying to teach others the raid? Or simply practicing a boss fight? Some people might not have the time to finish a whole raid, if they are doing it with players who aren't that experienced, or if you play with people from different timezones. This is just another way to exclude players, so some people can have their special snowflake status. I honestly have no problem with the "no clear count if the raid isn't completed", (we had this in D1 too) but removing the checkpoints has no actual benefit, as far as I can see.
