Remember that while the Gruul raid was short it also had mechanics that caused many groups fits. Short does not have to mean easyMany hardcore raiders really do not like the cheap rs 3 gold fact that new players are entering raids as it does bring down the overall quality of raider available to grab from when you are short a few players for a raid.
Many hardcore raiders are also already complaining that shorter raids will end up being like ToGC, which is widely considered way too simple and easy to beat. Hard core raiders raid for the challenge of it and are worried that by shortening the raid time you lessen the challenge.Other hardcore raiders are looking at this change as a potential boom for raiding.
If raids are shorter and easier to produce, instead of seeing as few as we currently do in an expansion cycle maybe we will see many more. Wouldn’t it be nice to see a new 4-5 boss raid every 4-8 weeks instead of a single 10-12 boss raid every 6 months? That is the dream that many hardcore players have; continuous new content.
