There's so much win in this thread. Basically everyone is right - yes it would be great to expand T1 to 250 but they are never gonna do that for raid events cause of the margin protection. So that's why I think Run's suggestion of another tier is a sound one. The gap between T1 and T2 cutoff is large, but that 101-250 range could be a great new tier to incentivise T2ers to strive harder.

I can't help but think they are killing the raid events slowly though with the recent changes to the reward quality,  The interview with the devs I posted recently laid out their strategy - campaign is the event they are focusing on as the one for T2/3 to get better cards. In fact, the changes to rubies and space bridge has probably made campaign events their most profitable now (because paid space bridge is largely obsolete for raid with the advent of rubies).

If campaign is the most profitable - cause those chains... not cheap, and bought by all tiers -  that's where they will focus. Problem is, that strategy doesn't match up to player enjoyment... as most players like the raid events best. To Hypno's point, if they want to stem the flow of players to SWFC I think they need to make the raid events the focus and not lose sight of the fact it's the event we enjoy most. If they kill the raid event's enjoyment, I think they kill the game.
