back in the day of d1 i used to teach people the raids and after every run i made them promise me that they would never turn down a player who has not done the raid. but at d2 raids i cant be asked to explain 40 minutes mechanics for one section. it used to be that raids were simple but the execution was hard. now its much more complicated to comprehend and execution even harder without being able to revive players since the lack of hard mode. the revive token/timer is the main problem with the "elitist" problem. for example i ran kings fall waaaaaaayyyy under leveled. like it took me 2 sniper headshots to kill a thrall. but i could still hold my plate, and we were able to beat it. granted i would die right after plates cuz snipers would always one bang me lol. couldnt help but laugh during the raid. even my teamates were laughing. watching a single player struggle against a thrall is very funny. point is. even though i would die after every damage phase we were still able to beat it. everybody knew there roles and execution was not forgiving. dying while holding the plates open for your runner was #1 priority. once the mechanic was complete dying was ok. it was ok to mess up and die to a thrall but not by messing up the mechanics.
