No matter how well designed something is, you'll inevitably burn out of it through sheer repetition. None of this is to say the rewards for DR and Castrum couldn't be better because they most certainly should. Frankly, the whole relic chain this expansion has been by and far the worst execution ever. It's seriously mystifying how poorly they've handled it—particularly this current iteration. Thus, the dev team deserves to be criticised. That doesn't mean DR itself isn't fun in a vacuum.
    I don't think "It was fun, but after a few runs I'm never touching this f'ing place again!" is the kind of "fun" SE was going for. The only way content like this survives is if it can remain satisfying through repetition, and any content that can't isn't "fun" enough. I'll repeat, look at every single roulette; they've all remained relevant and completable on a daily basis for years. Castrum, on the other hand, is only months old and people can't get the ONE clear they need to progress. DR is poised to be an even more spectacular failure. This content is trash.

    Insisting it's fun while piling on all of the excuses why you'll definitely be abandoning it as soon as you can is cute and all, but not very useful.
