What will the raid scene look like 6 months from now? Predictions!

[Melissa]

I would put this in server chat but we all know it'll just get sent to rnf...cause complaints about the new rules are welcome here too

What do u guys think, assuming minor amendments are made to cover the "what ifs" that are being posted, the raid scene will look like in 6 months, 12 months, assume velious comes out in the 12 months portion and 6 months is the period starting this week until velious rolls out.

I'd ask people not to sit here and be like "fuck you chest, bda, casual scum, etc" but what are your predictions?

many of these 'casuals' you speak of have been on this server since 2009 when it was created....

So I don't think you will see an inordinate amount of casual burn out that is any different than normal EQ burn out.

Nice try though.

Casuals "burn out" when the next shiny new game steals their attention away.

I would guess that in 6 months a bunch of the Class R guilds lose interest in all but the high-end R mobs (for epics) and many of the lower end dragons get left up for the 6 hours or whatever and the Class C ends up getting those on a regular basis too.

Wait....So casuals raid hate/fear/chardok for 3 years straight....then you think after 6 months of dragons and real raid mobs that they'll finally burnout?!? Hardcore players actually think like this? I...but...umm...errr....

I predict that "casuals" give zero fucks what "hardcore"players think/want.
