The Other Side of The (Raid) Force

While i am unable to verify or challenge your claim of 99%, i would certainly hope that there are more then 1% of the community that appreciate the rewards of achivment alongside your friends more then the loot. Or breezing trough storymode. Atleast there was more appreciation for adventure with your companions in the older mmos, and what little spirit remains in the modern mmo model. I sure hope they wont crush it all, for the sake of imagined convenience and entitelment.

Not everyone has skilled friends willing to share the same obsessions for outdated content. It doesn't hurt me in any way that t5 got nerfed, or Pharos Sirius scaled down. Telling people to buckle down and not quit, or should buy their win doesn't help near as much as people think, especially if there is a lot more time spent waiting than wiping. They might indeed succeed, but the experience(and the player that comes out of it isn't always a positive one.

Well i would never encourage anyone to buy runs, and skilled friends or not. Just in case you didnt read my previous posts, i havent completed all of coil or all of the ex-modes. But i wouldnt want to see them open the gates of convenience just so i can see the story. That wouldnt be me challenging myself to improve, that would be surrendering to entitelment and convenience.

Making everything free access without effort, diminishes the value of said content. And there needs to be different types of content for many different kinds of players, and that means that the ones that want to see everything cannot be accomodated. It is a game, games are entertainment for many, challenge for others, challenging mechanics aswell as challenging yourself, your commitment and resolve.

And too have something out off reach, gives you something to reach for and work towards. A personal goal if you like, or not its up to you what you want to attempt to do in a game.
