When is a public raid not a public raid?

When is a Public Raid NOT a Public Raid?

 

When you sit for over 4 hours waiting for people to log in for the raid and don't tell others that are online that a raid is forming. Then it goes from a public raid to an Invite Only Raid

Funny how the past repeats itself. 

 

 I can understand not wanting to wait hours to form a public raid after the trigger spawns, but announcing a Ghost of Blackbeard (GoBB) raid in general and then starting it within a handful of minutes without really waiting for public folks to show up is a punk move.   That's barely enough time to switch out EMP ammo and show up at Teach's memorial to only get swarmed by the first wave of Blackbeard's Guardians.

 

I would suggest a more reasonable lead time to give people a chance to show, say 30 minutes.   If you can't do that, drop the "public raid" pretense and run a private one.

This makes me really sad cause yeah, that was mentioned when all the fuss was on about dissolving the rotation.

Guess don't need to learn to read between the lines anymore.
