Well, my reputation precedes me for being able to find both sides of situations, but I'm at a loss for this one. I understand their reasoning and the logic of it, and at the end of the day they're the ones with the data to compare to their own goals. I just can't easily justify the reasoning based on the effect.
Raids aren't easily done. They're about working together as a team, with some already-challenging Opponents. It becomes easy with team work and planning, but getting that started depends on using those Revs for the rest of the people coming up.
For the record, we don't do them every month, so I have no horse in the race. We do them from time to time. Quite frankly, the cost is too exorbitant for the Tickets. Which adds another layer that makes it a head scratcher for me.
Then you have the Rewards. Which are nice, considering the increase in Glory and drop boxes. However, they're all RNG, so you're playing with that.
I don't subscribe to the "Player benefits vs. Kabam benefits" outlook. It's just that in this case, I can't find a reason for it.
There's a danger in making things too difficult and restricting. You run the risk of losing the interest and motivation for people to play it. I think that needs to be considered. Just my opinion.

Well G.W. I appreciate you sharing, and I totally agree.

I think someone else in here also mentioned this is punishing new players joining a raid for the first time (just checked, shoutout @Masquirade ). Why are we upping the pressure and making the barrier of entry so large? One revive for someone who has never done these fights and never done a raid at all is unbelievably tough and disincentives alliances from showing new people the ropes.
