[quote]I suggested a couple years ago that there should be a raid easy/learning mode whereby the rewards do not include raid gear, only rewards similar to a strike. The forum response was negative from the raid gatekeepers.[/quote] You should learn the definition and proper use of terms before you throw them around, otherwise you just make yourself look unintelligent. People disagreeing with you about the devs wasting time and resources on a totally unnecessary feature doesn’t equate to “gatekeeping”. By your own admission it’s been a couple years since you made your suggestion and yet to this date you still haven’t completed a raid. Like the other person who just replied to said, you’ve “gatekept” yourself. We all had to learn the exact same way but the difference is we were actually proactive about learning.

No, you are WRONG. I don't play raids because I do not like them. They are long and boring. My experience and preference have nothing to do with that of others who want an easier raid mode.

Normal raids are the “easier” raids. It’s endgame/aspirational content, it’s not supposed to hold anyone’s hand, that defeats the purpose. Anyway. Stop throwing around the term “gatekeeping” when it doesn’t apply and you don’t know it’s proper use. ✌🏻

I carry new players through raids every day, most of them have average world drop gear and no 'build' and most of them do fine. Stop trying to scare people away from raids.
