Perform is a good thing yes...
As the glamour contest yes...

But... is what the game needed now? I admit it is fun, interesting, it is some of the side feature that make a game great but...
Where is the content? POTD, now eureka (more spam same spell endlessly yeah)/ Then hunt/treasure hunt (so depth in those, so much to discover and enjoy for so long hours) and the End game, 2x4 boss for 8 people; 4 boss for 24, and 2 primals for 8 people.

people are saying, 2 weeks after a patch "nothing more to do"
Yes not all, but they are not so rare to complain, and i dont speak about 2 month but 2 weeks.

Perform is good, but maybe work first on content, to make people have fun more and more, Than this fun but useless feature.

And for the glamour... a system that is so restrictiv that i quit it, and stay on the previous one... ... ... At least i dont loose my items
