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]

I mean, if the overlords at bungie would grow a pair and actually reward players appropriate loot per encounter I am quite sure players would do full runs. The armor is generic, the guns can be earned from the sweeper bot, there is literally no reason to do the encounters. The reason people made sure to do the warpriest was because he dropped a sniper and a machine gun. Golgoroth dropped useful raid gear, the sisters dropped class items and a shotty, Oryx dropped primary weapons and a helmet, and even the relay dropped a ghost, which was necessary at that time for max light, and a fusion. Every raid encounter in D1 rewarded something unique, but in D2 Luke Spit (on the community) decided nah, lets just rain tokens and a random chance for anything on the loot table for the raid. I mean it's all a steaming pile of shit anyways, right? The hardcore players won't gaf and the casuals will be elated for any loot they get. Am I right Deej, am I right?
