Rancor Raid - Advanced Pit

OdinOakenshield

There has been a lot of talk with updating the Pit raid with so many solos in some guilds now. However I have another thought as well. With the inevitability of more raids coming as well as increased cap limits and higher gear levels the Rancor raid will only be easier for established guilds. Once a guild is able to complete X amount of Heroic Rancor raids they unlock the Advanced Pit. I'm thinking either 100 or 150 raids, which with max tickets is 200-300 days, or about 29-43 weeks. Most original guilds will already meet the 150 raids, and still force new guilds to establish themselves before they can unlock. Now with the Advanced Pit Officers have 2 options when they start a new raid:

1) Auto Battle, the guild automatically defeats the Rancor and goes into the 1 hr cooldown for rewards. Hey we all know this will happen in 30 min or less anyways. Now rewards will be based on number of tickets each guild member produced in the last 7 days. With new raids and other features added this will help save time for those who want to so they can spend more time in other aspects of the game.
Rewards as follows:
Tier 1: 600 tickets a day, Equivalent to current 3rd Place
Tier 2: 500-599 tickets a day, Equivalent to current 10th place
Tier 3: 400-499 tickets a day, Equivalent to current 20th place
Tier 4: 300-399 tickets a day, Equivalent to current 30th place
Tier 5: 100-299 tickets a day, Equivalent to current 40th place
Tier 6: 0-99 tickets a day, None

2) Advanced Battle, The raid opens normal with the same 2 day requirement as current heroic and 1 try per toon. However the Raid boss is now harder. Maybe give him a bit more health/tenacity/damage, but the big difference is give him the same feature as Grievous in the Tank raid. After so many hits, I would say 10, the boss gets 100% TM. This will make it much harder, possibly impossible, for a while to solo the raid. Guilds will have to coordinate a little at first to complete the raid. This will allow guilds to still battle the Rancor and give them a chance to gain some extra loot in the process, loot will be X% more than what a member would get in Auto Battle depending on damage done. This still forces people to do their daily and build raid teams if they want more damage. However does not create dissent in guilds if some people want to auto and others to battle, or if people would get less loot than Auto Battle.
Rewards as follows increased off of Auto:
Tier 1: 6M+ - 25% more pieces or change at full gear as well as Credits/Guild Currency
Tier 2: 4-6M - 20% more pieces or change at full gear as well as Credits/Guild Currency
Tier 3: 3-4M - 15% more pieces or change at full gear as well as Credits/Guild Currency
Tier 4: 2-3M - 10% more pieces or change at full gear as well as Credits/Guild Currency
Tier 5: 1-2M - 5% more pieces or change at full gear as well as Credits/Guild Currency
Tier 6: 0-1M same as Auto

This also helps relieve some of the lower gear bottle neck as newer gear is added especially if it requires gear from the rancor raid. Some numbers can be tweaked depending on increased difficulty and how long to unlock. This could be a good way to change up the Pit as more raids are added and cap/gear lvls increase and the Rancor only becomes easier.

Thoughts/Opinions welcome.
