Default why is rooted dragons bad?

i only raided before this was implemented. why is this considered a bad thing here? isn't it an actual dungeon crawl now? why would pulling to the ent be better? please educate me.

Cause now it's a Zerg numbers game instead of a pull team + 2-3 groups to slow/kill dragon...it's not bad and is fun to crawl but it killed small guilds entirely and unless you can get 50+ to clear ntov it's not happening....like rustle / core type guilds no chance and even older guilds had to merge to have numbers

Rooted dragons is bad because it's a humanitarian issue. Dragons need large enclosures to properly mature. It's also a well known fact that free range dragons develop larger loot sacks, and therefore provide juicier loot.

Basically what everyone is saying, while it has it's moments of fun, 30-40 man raids don't have a chance anymore, and it's almost always a case where Guild numbers is the #1 importance. To have a shot at a dragon, while another guild is going for it, you need on average about 60-70 people during prime time, and you have to play pretty flawlessly with that amount of people, especially if you're facing 100+ on the other side.

60-70 prime time is a pretty huge number, that means your guild needs about 140+ active raiders. You're not gonna find 70 people with 60%+ RA.

It's not classic.

It was implemented when things were at their peak. The only option for using your gear was being a pull team member, Two-Chain is one and I like to rib him. Proud people so show some respect.

Anyway, I support unrooting them.

The true beef behind all this was the zerg guild, which riot became and for a time swallowed them all. The only people who can really compete with these folks are other people like these folks. When they poach all those people from the smaller guilds there is nothing left to do but join them.

They had to die.
