Can something be done about light farming?

No, it doesn't give any light.

Run the FATES in Summerford like doing the Alex stage. Its alot faster than doing Primals.You can run 4 fates to match the bonus from farming primals and you don't have to worry about que times or even possible wipes because this still does happen. Unless of course you go in with a full premade.

Yeah. It's making it pretty punishing at this point. And not to sound like a complete jerk, but having to teach people 2 year old content so i can get 4-8 light is not jiving well with me.

They could also just make it to where you get light for each dungeon boss and not just clearing the end. Then dungeons would be time effective.

I know you don't wanna sound as a jerk, but we all have to remember that there is new people joining each day that will have to face old content as new content. It's just how it is when socializing, people are on different lvl's. No pun intended, rly.

I can also add that since the 2.x Relics are now mostly for cosmetics they might nerf it even harder later on since ppl arn't spamming Trials anymore, who knows?

twice
doubled the amount of earned light points and then with 3.0 again.
So the 2000 lights are now like 500 lights if used the old amounts of earned light points.

No. You're not paying attention to the issue. It's not "like" you need 500 lights. You still need 2000, and the only reliable way to farm them is by doing HM primals for about 8-16 light per run.

Gonna have to give that a shot.

Sounds like obsolete content that was designed to be MEGA GRIND is still kinda grindy.

Weird.

2000 lights while HM primals gave you 4 light points = 500 runs
2000 lights while HM primals give you now 16 light points = 125 runs

the total of light farming runs got reduced to 1/4
