Just a few words on this concept of "competition" that people keep mentioning.

True competition comes from some sort of an even playing field to begin with. And by this I'm not referring to both teams having the same skill level (no two teams are exactly the same, each has its strengths and weaknesses).

But in every other case I can possibly think of, competition requires somebody to compete against. How does a basketball team compete if the other team is not on the court?

So being able to be online at any hour of the day might show some crazy form of dedication on your part, it does not show much else.

True competition would be 2 groups of the same number of people, online at the same time when the raid target is up. "Ready, set, go."

Geting raid targets when the rest of the server population is at work or asleep is like playing tennis with nobody on the other side of the net.

(Sorry if this was slightly off topic but I've been meaning to bring it up for a while.)
