Please stop the quakes

Fairly certain I claimed the quakes are catering to raiders for the most part. Newer players aren't raiding yet. They don't get much in game attention/support from the CSR team here, which focuses mostly on the top end. On Blue there aren't many low levels and on Green a new player can find groups only sporadically. Quakes don't help this.

The quake mechanic doesn't appear to be a huge magnet for new players. Many newer players are finding servers with dev/csr teams that cater to new players as well as top players. Things like special event zones, special rewards, and time limited dungeons. Essentially p99 has competition that has made itself more appealing to the new player base by looking at mechanics for new players beyond quakes.

Got some ideas what we could do for the non-raiders? We do perform a lot of corpse recoveries and reimbursements. But that goes for all players.

It's hard to create events for just non-raiders, we don't want to tell raiders they can't join these events. With their level 60s or even their twinks.
