The Raid Contribution System....SIGH (self.bravefrontier)

submitted 1 day ago

This new contribution system is absolutely retarded. I get that they were trying to stop leechers but they could have come up with a different way. Like how they used to do with arena and if you log out after a few times before the match ended to prevent losses you would no long refresh orbs until you leveled up or used a gem. This new systems is just painfully dumb.

I dont leech for the sole reason of the raid goes by so much faster when everyone helps but I have absolutely no control over when I join a ongoing raid and as soon as I log in its over. I only run raid for the medals so the items are pointless to me. I have had this happen to me 4 times today, one I didnt even get to map. I clicked start and was given the message "The raid did not load" or something like that because the raid finished as i pushed the join button and it went to the screen when you complete the raid and took my orb gave me a few items and zero medals.

I guess my only options now is to start my own or try and join one that has not started. The problem with that is alot of times when I start my own no one joins and I sit there for 10 min soloing. If I do try and join a raid that is just starting up alot of times I sit there waiting for the stupid leader to start the quest. I just tried joining a solo persons raid that had a defensive leader in hopes that he was not closed to downing the boss and guess what...It finished before I got passed first mob and i got no contribution points.

Why is a system that punishes group play implemented on something thats sole purpose is to get people to play together?
