Raid linearity

[AmyNeudaiz]

Start -> Path A / Path B -> Boss A / Boss B -> Repeat concept till end

While that idea above sounds nice and seems like a desirable concept, what it will boil down to is this:

Start -> Whatever is shorter -> Whatever is shorter -> Repeat concept till end

This is why I don't mind linear dungeons anymore. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the idea... I just don't mind linear.

Can do different Path, different rewards.

ex)
Path 1) Soldiery
Path 2) Random Atma
Path 3) Chance for Alexandrite
Clear Duty - Mythology

It's kind of still not... "optimal".

The problem with dishing out rewards is the fact that eventually, people will find out "X dungeon with Y path gives the most Z rewards for foobar time". This is the nature of variations in design. Due to the way the game mechanics work, a content will be relatively easy compared to other dungeons, when done with the correct strategy

Still, I do wish that there are indeed multiple paths to take each time
