I’m glad you were able to meet people at that time and trust me, I’ve experienced why they don’t wanna invest in in-game social systems. That said, I’ve already noted that a person raiding receives weapons, armor, and can much more quickly obtain power and higher end play augmenting features. IMO, keepin’ power outta that mix was a good think and I was all for Bungo to stop givin’ raiders crap gear, but they (specifically those with platforms) constantly misrepresented what power meant and acted like it should be tied to raids. Mark my words, I’ve already noticed the wave comin’ regarding Pinnacle (minus Comp) weapons. Outright sayin’, “Why raid when I can get a Pinnacle weapon?!!” So don’t be surprised when they’re next.
