Why Aren't More Gamers Completing Raids????

I play Destiny 2 on Xbox and was looking at my Achievements the other night, mainly the ones I don't have yet. Here's some info for you: Belly of the Beast - Complete the Leviathan Raid. 12.86 percent of gamers have achieved this. The Prestige - Complete the Leviathan Raid on Prestige difficulty. 5.29 percent of gamers have achieved this. Wishing for the Best - Complete the "Last Wish" Raid. 3.87 percent of gamers have achieved this. Granted this info relates to Xbox only, but damn, look at the number of gamers that have completed the raids! Now we hear Bungie is making the raids "more" challenging. I'd imagine the percentage of gamers that complete the next rounds of raids to be even lower. I see questions in the forum all the time about "who" Bungie makes the raids for, I mean, it's pretty obvious with all the manufactured hype over "Worlds First" placed on newly launched raids. There's a post on the front page where OP suggests the raids need to have more mechanics in them, suggesting there were more mechanics in D1 than D2 raids. It looks like to me that adding "more" mechanics into a raid only lessens the potential for the core group of players to actually finish it. I'd venture a guess that most players don't have a ready group of above-average players to complete a raid with. I understand that the Raid is supposed to be mainly for the skilled end-game player, but damn. I assume Bungie puts a lot of time into development of the raids, only to have a sliver of the player base actually experience them. Bungie seems to have lost focus on which group of gamers make up the "majority" of their player base, and that's sad.

    I honestly don't know why. You do not need to be a no-lifer to enjoy raiding. Take my husband and I for example. We don't have a MASSIVE amount of clears, but I have 68 raid clears total and he has 82 raid clears total. We have Rivensbane and are super close to Shadow and Blacksmith. We have a daughter and play ONLY after she's tucked into bed: 2 to 4 hours a night, depending on if its a work night or not. Raiding is my favorite part of this game honestly. I look forward to the weekends, getting together with our clannies on a Saturday night and busting out a raid or two...or three lol Different strokes for different folks I guess, but you certainly don't need to be a no-lifer or an elitist to enjoy raiding. 😊 The mechanics are honestly not that hard to learn. It just takes research, preparation, practice, and some chill friends. 😆
