Over the last few weeks i have come to notice that less and less pve raids are happening.
For the crowd that wants to get geared and go rvr this may be a great thing but for those who enjoyed the pve raids it's kinda ruining the fun.
As is situation (at least for Hib):
Level one char to lvl 50 (i.e. druid) and join public raids until you have every boss-encounter credit.
level another toon to 50 (i.e. nightshade) and buy your equip from feather merchants ( feathers earned by the almost daily galladoria runs)
(At this point the new toon has never seen a boss but has all the stuff from those encounters)
I think this is wrong!
I think it leads to a decline and a possible stop to pve raids in the long run. (exception: galladoria)
The majority of the playerbase has all encounters and gives a fart about newer players who don't have it. (frustrated players will leave in the long run)
There is no urgent drive for players to kill a boss after the first time but there should be.
In addition to that it kinda devalues a pve boss kill in general.
Suggestion:
1. Turn account credit back to char credit
2. Make the credit count only for buying ONE item at the feather store. (Yes, that means if you want to buy 3 items from legion you have to kill legion 3 times.)
3. Make the credit go away after x amount days/weeks
(roleplay opportunity: display text message: "A fairy magically manifests in front of you. After wiggeling her sparkly butt the memory of your victory against legion fades away like mist in the morning breeze"
