Feelings on Castrum Hotfixes

It's very clear that Castrum has become a serious issue that is locking out tons of players from endgame grinding. However, is upping the rewards and keeping the difficulty the same really going to help? Maybe for the rest of SHB, sure, but what happens after 6.x and we get new relics? Does Castrum stay the same and Bozja ends up becoming Eureka 2.0, content the developers put sweat and tears into that is just abandoned to gather dust because nobody wants to do it? I understand their intent to give challenging huge scale content, but challenging content does not stay relevant past multiple expansions except to a dedicated few, especially when there is no long term benefit besides cosmetics and story for those who haven't experienced it. I don't believe this is an effective long term solution, but I know I'm not privy to exactly how these things work, so please correct me if I'm wrong. But how does everyone feel about this hotfix and what looks to be the future of Bozja content?

Remove Castrum from Bozja.
Add Castrum Queue to the guy outside where you also enter Delubrum.

This. It’s a bandaid fix at best but having to wait upwards of an hour for an attempt (assuming you even get enough people) is ridiculous. Making you able to queue from the outside, possibly reducing the amount of people needed for it, will go a long way to making it more accessible. Coin rewards should be increased as well, and the bosses need to give mettle and tomes/exp.

Bozja=endgame? Difficulty content? Farm? Do you even remember 2.0 or 3.0 relics? They required a lot of farm. Bozja is casual endgame content, other players have Savage and other stuff.

It was clear to me week one that the content will be dead soon , simply because of the way it is implemented, If Delebrum wasnt required for relic weapons nobody would run that either.
They can push the Loot to the moon and i wouldn't care going in there, wasting my time standing in bozja and hoping for it to pop up, and then hoping to get enough people for it.

I appreciate their optimism of trying out a new system of raids, but it failed hard and needs to be fixed, not just by increasing the loot.

Instead of sending us back to old lvl 50,60 and 70 raids, the relics stuff could drop in Castrum, and castum needs to have a queue instead of random zone spawn.

Last time I checked Eureka was far from dead so I'm not sure what people talk about when they say Bozja is as dead as Eureka.

End game and Bozja in the same sentence... Cough, cough, ...

The end game is savage, ultimate and a bit of Ex.

Bozja, it's optional, to show off in the public square.

Midcore is the term you're looking for.

Casual content: Glams, housing, screenshots, maps farming, crafting, gathering, fishing, people who play for the story and unsub til the next patch
Endgame content: Savage, Ultimate, Ex, like Naoki34 said

Midcore content: Intended to require a high time investment, but not a particularly high skill investment. PVP titles, relic weapons, PotD and HoH, etc. Hell, I'd put BLU mage in this category. It's grind for the sake of grind, but it's brainless content that someone with a bad internet connection (like me) can still pull off

Ah, thank you all for correcting me, I guess when I think of endgame I think of max level stuff XD Glad to have that clarification.

Whelp Bozja is popping now. Actually missed out on a castrum run cause too many people joined. SO I'll say it was a good hotfix.
