Where does SE lack when it comes to casual content, or do they lack at all?

[Aramina]

Thats what Im thinking, Im wondering if they could put alot more into content that doesnt require this and still satisfy raiders, this game seems like such a social game like people love the community part of it. Heck people even pay to get married on here , so why not make other systems like , a relationship companion or something of that sort. Just dont get the whole basing the job system on something that seems to be very niche based.

Everything is niche based. You can't really single raiding out. There aren't, to my knowledge, any statistics on how many people spend their time crafting, or gathering, or collecting glamours, or role-playing, or... you get the idea. My point is... for all you (we) know more people raid than care about crafting (say it isn't so!!!) so maybe we should just remove crafting and use whatever dev time/money on more raid content.* See my point?



*Note: We should *NOT* do this.

As for POTD I would love to do above 100 but I play at off hours with my partner and it is hard to find 2 others to create a group to run past 100 with. If it was open to matched party then more would be able to do past 100.

There is a lot of casual content in the game to enjoy.

I would say this game has the most casual content that I've seen from any other MMO, depending on your definition of "casual". I consider casual content anything that you can pick up and do for 40min at a time with no pressure.

We have an entire intricate crafting and gathering system that puts most MMO's crafting and gathering to shame.
A massive storyline that doesn't skip all the old content like most MMO's do.
A great assortment of cosmetic options for your characters (and houses).
A large amount of daily and weekly tasks that give boosts.
Several classes to level, with the benefit of not having to switch characters to do so.

I guess what I was tryin to say was if and I guess nobody really would know that a big part of the budget goes into makin hardcore content that nobody really does would people rather it be put into even more causal content that overwhelming more people use. Could it be done in a way that hard content is still hard enough for raiders but put alot more funding into more causal content that people seem to like the most. Housing was a thing like everybody should more time go into development on more housing for everyone are , into more niche content that few seem to enjoy doing.

Most hardcore content is repurposed later so that a larger part of the player base can enjoy it. Then SE adds some sort of encouragement for everyone to do the content, like weekly quests.

What SE needs to do, is update the frikin hunt rewards. Make HW hunts worth a hunt.

You mean through unsyncing it , which Im sure will happen when storm blood comes out then we will have those Alexander clears and extreme primal clears, how that is fun to anyone to faceroll things that were meant to be hard is just beyond me kinda

Well as usual you'll have the tomestone upgrade items in 3.5 though I assume you already knew that was going to happen.

[AnaviAnael]

I think the game is just right for us casuals as far as battle content is concerned. We have our dailies, we get tomes so our gear can regularly get updated, Normal tier raids, and potd 1-100. If you don't have much time to play, or are uninterested in Savage/EX primals there is something for you. One of the things I like about the game is there's no punishment for not dong Savage. (Then again, there's no real incentive either. You can start getting the highest item level regardless, but that's another discussion for another day.)

I just recently got into raiding, and I freaking love it. I would be devastated if they got rid of it. I don't care if there's any "proper incentive" to do them. Im personally more worried about learning the fights and beating them, rather than the rewards. the feeling of beating a fight after working on it for weeks is the greatest. And I know I'm not the only one who has raiding as the only reason they really log on these days.
