Rush the Rikti works like a well oiled machine because we do it every week and some times twice in a single night. A few months ago (I want to say August) we completed four Rikti Raids in a single night due to having two Rikti War Zones going at the same time. I know RWZ2 had two successful campaigns and I was informed of similar for the primary RWZ. If Rush the Rikti was not done as often as it was I feel that the second zone would have had only a team or two and lack the people necessary to complete the task.

I will certainly be joining any Hamidon Raids that come up to better learn the ins and outs of Hamidon Raiding.
Hate to say it. But RtR can be a complete hack and slash fest and still be successful. And RtR can be done with as few as (maybe fewer) 15 people. Hami raids take at least 30 (yes there are successful Hami raids out there done with only 2 teams, but you're also talking about one of the groups who created the attack plan), with a lot more focus and coordination. I know that lack of regularity you're talking about affected neither Woeful's nor my raids. Therefore, there's likely an even larger contributing factor to last night's failure. I'll leave it up to you to figure out what that is.

If somebody you're arguing with goes off the deep end, don't follow.

Sorry to hear that the New Year's Eve Hami Raid was not what people hoped for. I'm sure we all do hope for another chance to try again. I feel bad that I missed it, but it was my mom's b-day. Plus I only have 1 50 blue side and he is squishy and taste good with ketchup. To the next Raid good luck and I will be watching the channels for the next one.
