So wheres the rage now? Instead of getting rid of the now obsolete raid timers for years old raids they monetize the process. Lately, it seems they really started to listen to players, only to charge incredible amounts of money later. Somehow, it really makes me wish for them to stop listening...

	I'm not sure why people wouldn't stop playing the game en masse if that were to happen.

	Next step is to just start selling the raid loot in teh store. How much do you think they'd charge for a torc?

	I doubt they'd sell raid loot in the store. Not from any gaming moral reasons, more from the point of view that the pack the loot comes from becomes redundent to purchase if you can just buy the loot you need. Given the reaction to the new raid, I imagine there would be plenty of people who would just buy the coms they need (Or a peice of specific loot if any appeals to them) rather than go through the hassle of that grind.

What new raid ? The hour and a half long ressource hog, run here, run there, bash a few things, play tag with a flying hand, get tossed here and there by falling crab legs [and killed in the process if you fall off...thus making it a more bigger ressource hog ], drag the Coyle in Dress along stupidity that shouldn't even be named a quest ? Done it once. Not willing to do it again. No point, items sucks big time, precious ressources are drained for nothing, and last it takes too long. Turbine should know that by now... Come on it's not as if the Cannith Raids are run regularly anymore, or Titan, it just takes too long to get there. People want short raids, that can be accessed directly from a public area. Even Kween is annoying people because of the need to redo ADQ1 everytime. ( and thus run through the fucking desert )

	I'm not saying a way to circumvent the 3 day timer for completely outdated boring chore raids, like dq has become is a bad thing. I just fucking hate that they are going to sell it in the store. People can run normal dq solo, blind and naked now, the entry barrier should have been long gone, or at least shortened somewhat so we can't run it back to back. All this should have been changed with a patch, yet they go for the cheap moneygrab tactics again. :/

Yes, it's a raid easy to reach ( after they changed it originally you had to find in in the Demonweb ). But it's still an hour and a half ressource hog for nothing interesting. There's 5 categories of raids : - Those with interesting loot that are run whatever the nuisances ( VON, Queen ). - Those with semi interesting loot that are run until you get the piece of loot you want ( Reaver, SoS, VoD, Hound, Chronoscope ) - Those you run once, to have them done ( Titan, LoB, MA, Web ) - Those you keep running for fun ( Tempest Spine ) - Those you keep running because you have to grind it ( Shroud ). So beside the first category and the last two, there's not much appeal to run over and over and over again all the other raids. ( ok, LoB and MA can eventually move into the 'until you have the piece of loot you want' category )

	My only real complaint with the raid was Lolth's hitbox being too small. Had to get everyone tiptoeing on the edge looking for the one spot where you were actually making contact. So it becomes very hard to tell who's curse is actually floating over the group so you chug another curse pot or jump to check and risk sliding out of the 'hit zone' And I still don't get everyone's problem with running through the demonweb even if the entrance was demonweb only.

	Abbot is less of a "raid" and more of a "clusterfuck".

	If they sell a way to circumvent the raid timer, that is selling raid loot.

I expect them to eventually sell a token which can be exchanged at a "raid trader" for a selection from a raid 20th list. Still not technically selling raid loot

Now if they sold a token that gets you a full list of raid loot on a 20th I'd probably buy it. I'd have to go out and personally kill a kitten afterwards, but I'd buy it.

	I've decided I don't mind raid timer bypassers if they're like 30 dollars a piece. That's like 600 dollars for a 20th timer. If someone wants the raid loot that bad they almost deserve to have it.
