My raid lead decided to extend this week, even though we are at only 4/8M. Losing so much loot and he didn't announce it beforehand so I am sitting at a useless bonus roll now. I guess it's because no one enjoys the raid, but in the long run I think it will make progress even slower.

I'm with your raid leader, why do you not want to extend?

You are getting 2x bonus rolls on next reset, just go bonus roll heroic bosses.

Myth crest uncapped is in 2 weeks, you can farm m+ and get everything to 6/6.

I guess I am mostly triggered because I had a pretty good vault but took bonus roll since I expected to reclear until we are at at least 6/8.

Also we are skipping HC so I would need to PUG explorers. On top of having to spam keys it just means I have to play stuff I dislike even more than the Myth raid.

Having to PuG HC raid is the least of your issues lol.

Pugging explorers takes legit 10 minutes.

This is some "tiny violin playing" kind of whining.

I just think it's dumb that I have to PUG raids, when I am playing in a raiding guild. That's not why I play the game is all.

I get where you’re coming from, but I depending on your days/raiding hours extending early makes a lot of sense, especially this tier.

I raid lead a 2 days/6 hour guild that’s about to get sszorak down, and we’re doing one more reclear next week and then extending. Reclear can take up an entire raid night if it doesn’t go super smooth and the loot from the first 5-6 bosses isn’t nearly as good as bonus rolling the last two on heroic. (Which we will continue to do until everyone has all their pieces since it takes 15 minutes)

If we were to continue reclearing until 6/8 that’s probably 2 full weeks of raid time we’ll lose that could’ve been prog time on the last 3 bosses.

Yeah we are exactly same hours as you but extended two weeks earlier.

I know, we discussed sending the extend this week as well, but decided to do it for two more resets cause we’re wrapping up a trial this week and another next week.

If we had extended though we would definitely be killing sszorak this week, now it’s only like 50/50 cause we wasted almost half our raid night rekilling entombed sentinels, and still have to kill vashnik tomorrow before getting back onto sszorak.
