    There is non raid activities. 100000x the amount of content as raids in fact.

    But suggesting you should be able to sit in town rub 2 sticks together and say "ah ha raid loot" is ridiculous. Wish life worked the way the entitled generation thinks it should

    Can I drop out of my PhD program and have you pay my expenses for the rest of my life? I don't want to work for things anymore.

    That's all ignoring the fact that there are HUNDREDS of games designed for the player who doesn't respond well to these kinds of encounters.

    Crafting? Plenty of games for that

    Hunting? Whole genre of hunting games

    Gathering? Likely the same games as the crafting games. Try survival sims.

    Building? ^^

    Mini-games? Try the app store


    What you saying is "I want a bunch of solo player games.. But instead of playing those games I'd rather take away the 1 genre of games for people who actually like multiplayer RPGs and make it into another single player game."

    Ah, so raiding is work, and everything else is not work, hmm?

    You call others entitled, when you're the one who insists that only raiding should yield the best kind of loot. The very title of this thread speaks volumes about raiding and its enjoyability. If people wouldn't raid without the most massive carrot dangling on that stick, then perhaps raiding just isn't enjoyable enough to be a major part of games to begin with.

    I think you are confusing working on easy content with working on hard content. It isn't the question of working towards something, it is what you are working on.
