At this point, with GL prep going on and the Sith Raid being years in, shouldn't the rewards be upgraded? G12.5 is so last year and now since we need to relic 26 toons at a minimum to get both GL, the 11-50 rewards are trash and do almost nothing to help advance that goal. I'm not proposing equal rewards for 1-10 and 11-50, but a chance at a fully crafted G12.5 piece would certainly help the gear crunch since 12.5 is useless in the current game. Keep the double rewards for 1-10 I have no issue with that since they are pulling the most damage. But the current 11-50 rewards are the new HAAT rewards. Barely useful.

With the GL coming out I doubt their attention is on a new raid at this point.
They need to do us a solid and update HAAT rewards as well. The fact I can get a fully crafted carbanti, stun cuff, and droid caller or stun gun salvage simming Pit and none of the above in HAAT is ridiculous. HAAT has had trash rewards for years now. Niche gear that a handful of toons can benefit from. Sure the eyeballs are there, but the disparity between Pit and HAAT rewards of high use gear is pitiful.
Come first in hstr, get worse rewards than a pit raid. Thanks CG
There is no reason to assume GLs preclude a new raid.
Pit and Tank raids are on farm for any decent guild, so which rewards come from which raid is irrelevant. Look at it as a total package.
Says who? They're run at different frequencies and require different levels of effort.
Tank raid rewards have always been lackluster.

They're seperate though and looking at them seperately it is obvious that pit has a superior reward pool
1: HAAT sim. This is long past due.
2: Return challenge golden eyeball piece back to tank raid rewards.
3: Give chance at fully crafted G12 and 12+ gear to ranks 11-20 on HSTR. Make the drop rate slightly less than top 10.
4: Give a time frame to which raids become simmable. 1 yrs after release? 2? Just make it predictable.
Theyd moved in the right direction with shard rewards for raids being more equalized after Rancor raid when they realized how much disparity they were creating between top performers and bottom. Then they created that again with HSTR rewards.
Yes top performers should earn more and better chances at good gear drops. However I'd rather see the same gear pack be given at all ranks and just increase the drop rate for the more valuable pieces the higher the score.
I like the Pit sim option, with all members getting the same reward. Ideally all members getting the same rewards in HAAT and HSTR could be nice. However, competition is also part of this game, so maybe you should have to earn the higher ranks for better rewards.
What I really want to see is the ability to play around with the raids. Maybe during the 24 hour join period you can enter a raid at any phase and theory craft.
I remember when I first started, one of my most memorable achievements was my first solo on the rancor raids. With things being simmed I think some newer players that join established guilds will miss out on these elements of the game.
Careful what you ask for, cg has a way of giving it to you in a way opposite of your intentions
