[quote]The issue in the game rn isn't power creep, it's the absence of hardmode raids.[/quote] Its both actually. The lack of hard mode raids is another design issue that is making our accumulations of power a problem. Another issue is the persistance of old raids. So people are continuing to run old raids and raid lairs LONG past their "use by" dates. Which means we're running everything but the current raid, in a state that is massively overleveled. The first time I ran Last Wish I was 735 power....and just STEAM ROLLED our way through it with the clan I used to raid with from D1.
