Issues with this raid:
 * Chest: the number of chest items keeps growing (570 —> 610 —> 689), making it more and more difficult to draw the UR. But what's being added? just more crap (eg. MBD/PBD and bound garbage). Furthermore, the total number of pp keeps decreasing, raid after raid (200 —> 180 —> 170)
 * Bosses: not only are the bosses are stronger than ever before, but the ones dropping keys now have a decreased chance to be found. Instead, you can run into 1M HP mains over and over again. It's not worth downing pp for the jackpot prize of a junk if you're real lucky.
 * Daily Ranking: gone.

So to sum up, just incase it wasn't difficult enough to find a key-dropping boss — and repelling it is only worth the effort with a lot of help — the keys you do get will likely pull one of the 100 new junk items in the chest.

In my opinion, the investment/reward ratio is not satisfactory. This raid is simply a pp grab, perhaps to tap into the inflation issue, or perhaps a permanent change. There are a lot of people who will play any event to their fullest capacity regardless of of the investment/reward ratio. It's these people who control 80%+ of the free pots and it's these pots that need to be sucked out of them for the price of high pwr URs to drop somewhat. This raid is great for that.

For me though, other than helping my guildies with bosses, I sat this raid out, using the time to get all my frontlines to sk10 and catch up in questing. I'll not bother with raids anymore if future ones are anything like this one. Just my opinion. &#x2014; Amphitere
