This statement makes no sense. Tunare was farmed for months and months and killed dozens of times with only a handful of open event clears. Tunare has been killed probably 95% of the time with no pugs. People can bitch about A/A killing a lot of mobs but it's just ludicrous trolling to complain they don't work to do it.

Look, a couple of other people have sugar coated this and I will be a little less kind. I think it's a nice thing to allow pugs to be involved in a clear and get a new experience they wouldn't otherwise but if someone thinks that having pugs is some huge benefit to Awakened they are pretty f-ing ignorant of this game. Pugs are just as likely to cause a huge slowdown to a clear as they are to speed it up. Would 70 people clear PoG faster than 35? They probably would if they are all skilled and experienced in what to do. If they aren't? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images.

Awakened has done Growth numerous times in the past and having not done it lately makes it more of a novelty right now. Stop pretending like Awakened couldn't clear Growth without pugs.

No one is forcing anyone to come. It is clearly stated what will not be available to everyone. Please stop trying to pretend like that isn't the case.

I honestly have trouble trying to figure out which is more inane, thinking that Awakened is worried about some bullshit PR folly (because you know mob kills are based on popular election) or that Tunare loot should be randomed on. I can't even imagine how enraged people would be if someone rolled in for the last 20 minutes of the raid and won a roll on Tunare loot. You might be so upset with the out come and the unfairness that you setup a group or regular players to play with and a system by which loot could be distributed fairly. You know, maybe something where raids have an associated value of points and past raid work is tallied together so that players in your raid group are able to obtain loot commensurate with the work they have put in prior instead of arbitrarily giving loot in a randomly generated fashion.

In summary, if clearing PoG with an experienced raid that is provided to you and getting a chance at drops doesn't sound like something you want to do, don't come. The clear will probably still happen and you can instead do whatever you were going to do or sit around thinking about who was really doing who a favor. Or since Tunare is up most of the time you could form your own raid to go kill her and make your own loot rules.
