Yes that very true. For veterans materials are very useful and for new players but most veterans wouldn't want to run them purely for the materials. I for one will still play them cuz im a big PVE player. But other player wouldn't want to 'waste' their time when materials are easier to get other ways. Also I hope the raids get a new level of difficulty. level 40 and light level 300 raid would be insane and get fun. Making raid have more playablity in the long run.
