Gree, you have been taken for the fool.

Increasing boss health every cycle because of diminishing revenue from gold sales?

Never thought why? I don't have to buy gold to finish raid boss anymore. A small contribution from each syndicate member buys someone from TAW or SAS or any other top 5 syndicate to come over and finish the 95's and 100's for us. Much cheaper than buying vaults of gold! Very profitable for the individuals selling help also!
