There's another part of the community that tackles the grind at a slower pace and kind of incorporates updates into their normal daily processes. But something like CLL has a time limit, as we're seeing, when that niche group runs through it for everything it enjoys but abandons it because SE didn't make it worthwhile to keep running, and actually actively made it punish people in that niche group for doing so.

That group gave feedback to SE...which they just completely ignored. So they didn't do anything to make things better for the group that likes things like CLL by making it more rewarding for them.

And now they're telling the group that doesn't like CLL, who had the option to go do the former grind where they wanted at their own pace, that they have to clear this dead instance that the first group isn't keeping active because it punishes players for doing it.

So, nobody is happy. CLL is a huge bottleneck, it's not future proofed to stop this happening again, and they ignored feedback on how to make it worth doing.
The problem with cll is the way you enter it, not necessarily the rewards. Rewards would be nice, but requiring two layers of rng (pop inside bozja + enough players in that specific instance of bozja) won’t be fixed until it is possible to queue into the place in gangos.

They could boost the rewards, but you’d still be beholden to the number of players with the time to run it in your instance. This is assuming you entered the instance when castrum hadn’t just popped, as well.
