I have no clue if your trolling... That isn't at all an open raid. Like we Green had in the past. That is just a normal guild raiding/or alliance of randos.

Open raids gave peeps 30-45 mins to get to target. And see their first ever kill of said target, or planar raids. Without dealing with that raiding drama that is green/blue raid scene. It was super kool to see brand new players ie monk in hate win inny cloak on his first time ever seeing hate. Loramin stop trying to troll. Bc what you posted is 0 help

You're missing my point, and it's not about trolling. Yes, the meta has changed here, and obviously that has an effect on things.

But ... there's nothing about the current meta that prohibits open raids. Someone could 100% do what I described ... or (alternatively) someone could go around talking to the major guilds, and getting them to agree to leave a certain target up for open raids. This would hardly be without precedent either: even today guilds agree not to go after each other's targets for all sorts of reasons. But it would take a lot of effort.

What's missing right now is the person who will invest that effort. If you want open raids handed to you on a silver platter ... too bad: that is gone. Or really, it never existed, because having an open raid has always required someone organizing it: you needed Hyjal, or Seal Team, or whoever.

Complain that ST isn't doing the work to organize an open raid anymore if you want ... or ... get motivated, and organize your own open raid (following a path that's already been "trailblazed" for you by others)!



P.S. I feel like I should be bitching about how kids these days are lazy, and how I had to walk ten miles in snow to get to school (both ways uphill [You must be logged in to view images.
