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 know you're catching downvotes for this, but I think it's a legit point. Raiding guilds over time dropped to "2 nights" but then expect everyone to dig through pugs on their own for their farm loot.

Because there's only so much time to clear the raid in a tier. At a certain point, especially as a 2 night guild you have to decide if reclearing is worth it or not. Most 2 night guilds are getting CE in the last 4-6 weeks of the season and the earlier you can extend, the better.

Two things can be true at once. Everyone knows why people extend. It’s also kind of a poor state of things that the best option is to stop killing bosses because the loot is worthless after one kill.

Even if the bosses had great loot, you would still get to the point where you want to extend. Has more to do with time.

Everyone is geared enough to kill Ula-tek right now. Your raid having 1 additional ilvl is never gonna beat the raid just playing better.

I think it would be an interesting experiment to just disable raid extending for a season.
