Raids will no longer have 10-man versions

[Vaulden]

Just listened to the pod cast. Went in looking to find out information on what differences there were between 10 and 20 man raids; only to discover they are removing the 10 man versions. For 10-man guilds to see all of the content, they would have to pug or run with another guild. I pre-ordered the game under the pretense that my small guild would have access to all of the content with guild only runs.

I am disappointed to say the least, but I will keep an eye on the game. If their stance ever changes then we will pick up a copy.

Have fun everyone!

Yup. I just found out about this myself. I am considering canceling my pre-order now. Will have to talk it over with guildmates first. Might turn into 8-10 cancellations.

Kinda sad. Trion had me up until this point.

Bad idea on there part to remove 10 man. Smaller guilds would have liked to have them.

[Vmaxgamer]

10 man raids arent epic at all. heck ive seen bigger fights over green swords of the bear than that.

[insertmoniker47]

Eh. This doesn't really bother me at all. I'm not the least bit concerned that removing 10-man raids will limit my ability to enjoy the game and find plenty of fun things to do.

But good luck to you, to each his own of course.

20 is so much better than 25, 30, or 40 man raids. But yes. I too would like 10 man raids for small guilds. Hopefully they'll reconsider when people reach endgame

My guild doesn't care about epic epeens. We just want to down content together without having to deal with random idiots.

There are many guilds on many MMO's that recruit random people and have
A) them be idiots and remove them promptly.
B) Have them be a great fit to the guild and have lots of fun playing with them.


Sad to hear people will cancel over this instead of recrutiing a few others to play with them and just filtering out those that won't fit.

MMmmm 40 man raids. Those where the good times in WoW. Miss those.

[hateful]

My guild won't have a problem doing 20-man, but I think alot of us we're looking forward to the option of 10-mans. Not a deal breaker for anyone of us I think, still, its a shame.

[Eisberg]

Well that just took out my guild out of playing Rift. Sorry to hear about that.

[dorfadin]

Coming from Everquest dropping from 54man raids down to 10 would surely suck, its 2 groups ffs thats not raiding..., so I for one am very happy 10s were removed

[Always]

Bleh - my guild is one of those tight-nit RL friend smaller guilds - this is not good.
