Factoring in the rewards, time and effort, and fun factor, would you say you're happy with the raids system we have?

I don't like the reward system or the fact that there is gear only obtainable in the raid and only at a very small chance
I didn't enjoy the last phase of battling the rancor; I realize had I hit "auto" the outcome probably would have been the same. Seems there is no strategy there unless you have a deeper bench and possibly want to try and save a toon (which wasn't the case for me).... I took 21st which is better than I thought I would do as my level is at the bottom 10-15 in our group so I was happy with that but I also realized that going forward it is now just a battle to see who can spend the most money before the next raid.... that doesn't excite me. Why don't we just create a thread to post our bank accounts and then brag about that? If we are going to brag I feel it should be for something we did / accomplished not just we spent more than you.
I'm a total free enterprise capitalist pig to the extreme and I support businesses right to profits, no issues there... I just feel like this has stepped too far over the bounds towards bigger profits and less enjoy-ability and I really enjoy the game I don't want to see that.
EDIT: Didn't vote because I'd say other: neutral at this time.
- fun new game mode
- new social aspect
- new shard/gear store
- new activities that require planning
there are improvements to be made yes, but overal the game is more fun/complete with guilds than it was without
But how did u know to do that ahead of time? Based on the information we were given, having some wales intuitively would have made us think that would be a good thing.
I started a guild so that my two sons could have a chance to raid without being bumped for being at a lower level and my guild is full of great team members. Looking forward to tackling some tougher challenges in the future with the group and appreciate the new content.
Granted, I started my guild a month and a half ago before it was ever even announced to be in the works, it was just speculation at the time.
We're doing the Tier 6 raid, so definitely more than 20-30 minutes LOL.
What did you expect?
New mode is always fun, although I could only fight 4 rounds, I liked it.
this is exactly the problem with this forum and why so many ppl complain about the guilds.
from an objective point of view this game got much better with the guilds update. From your point of view it was a disappointment. You started a month ago because you were super excited about guilds. Now that the guilds are here they dont meet your expectation.
picture this, your parents promised you a car for your birthday. You think they will give you a lamborghini, but they actually give you a 2nd hand volvo station car. You would probably say your birthday gift s.ucked.
but in reality you are way better of with a car than without. just like us being better of WITH guilds

Haha nah, I really wasn't sure what to expect, but I know how EA is, so I wasn't expecting much. With that being said, having low expectations helps diffuse disappointment, but it's still disappointment nonetheless. I'm happy we have raids, but am I content with how they're set up? No.
I think the drops are small, but we only did tier 5, only once and it didn't take long. Now that we know what to do and everyone is on board we should be able to beat it daily in one shot, then progress on characters and more people get filled out linups & we should be able to beat the higher tiers and get better rewards.
Sounds like the rewards are about right, and if people were expecting everyone to get the highest mats in large quantities on 1 run on tier 5, then you might not be playing the right game, how long does it take to farm 50 of an item, not 1 run.

Rewards no. I got a funny crafted gear. The hypno syringe. But I get that from challenges anyway. The new gear needs to have better availability.
fair enought
improvements will probably be made in the future, but the guilds are a step in the right direction.
if you had a choice, login tommorow and play the game just like it was before the update, or login tommorow and play the game how it is after the update. what would you choose ?
Exactly, keeping with your car analogy, I'm happy to have a car, but I don't want this 2nd hand Volvo my whole life, I'd like to keep upgrading to better cars.
This update when you look at what they did is not bad at all, actually quite good! They put Rey in the guild shop (don't know much abut Gamorean Guard or Jawa Engineer yet), gave us in-game guild chat which is nice, shipments timer is now continuous - man, i love that, shipments are made for p2p mostly, but still, even f2p can get a shot of purchasing the new gear for crystals, etc. I am still disappointed with Yoda tenacity getting removed by QGJ and will always be. However this reward system in tiers almost negates everything that is good in the update and is a complete bummer. I am not even talking about the unobtainable gear, i don't even care about that. But why the disparity between payment places??
Last major updates seem to have had both highs and lows...for instance, i really liked the fortitude update, guess i was a minority then, but GW got harder and more tedious. One hot one cold. Why can't they do an update where people say...man this is an amazing update, this is pretty much exactly what we asked for!! Now i realize there will always be some people that aren't pleased with stuff, but there are too many now!
Surprised you are lasting that long especially given that the rancor stage can not be done indefinately because of his devour ability. My A team probably is not lasting 10 mins against the rancor, kudos for you for having a team that can survive 3 rancor devours.
And as I said, most people only have 1 team that can even survive for any amount of time to do damage unless they are whales.
this is the reason why i voted YES, it sure is better than riding my bicycle or public transportation
