So here's what OP is referencing. I'm not going to vouch for its authenticity, but if it's actually true, then ... damn that's not a bad thing at all to be spending money on.

FYI: As far as we can tell it's for returning players only. 

Yeah rumour mill is suggesting not only just that it's only for returning players, but also that it's only for high-spender returning players.

Not Cool. All should get this IMHO. I Love Raid. 

It doesn't bother me if spenders get perks.  Half the businesses in the world give perks to their bett customers.

Weird.  I haven't seen anything at all about this.

Isnt revival what the thing for returning player is called ? Cause if its for everyone .. i wouldnt say no to a 3rd elva lol ...

From what I'm seeing in CC videos and the few discussions I've had pertaining to it, 'tis what this seems to be. 

Skratch made a video about this. If this is true...well it is a marketing method...and a slap into the face of every spender.

Reminiscent of the pass where we got stag?  Incredible deal?  Redesigned delivery?  I might bust my no spend streak.

idk how true it was but i heard this was only given to a whale because he quit for 1 year and returned, but dont quote me.

Anybody and everybody got stag if they did the challenges.  The gold pass you had to pay $20 and got wurmlin lol
