When forming a raid i have noticed two key factors: 1) there is significantly less XP gained by all groups involved 2) there seems to be fewer decent drops than usual like chests. in fact, i don't recal any chests dropping whatsoever due to the fact that w/ a raid it unlocks the mobs.
has anyone noticed these factors as well or have any info on either how to remedy it or heard if they plan on redoing the raid system? i've heard that sony wants people to raid more for regular events and that raiding provides a significant xp bonus as incentive to doing this, but i do not see any evidence of this. luckily, raiding is just fun and you can really cause some major damage.
