Am i the only one disappointed in the criterion series rewards?

Nice rewards though for "savage!"

I felt the same way before it was even released and called it. Been around long enough to know that any new type of content will release with inadequate rewards so that the core of the game is never shaken up. They make side content a short-lived distraction on purpose, keep maintaining the decade-old methods of gearing up and replaying those on a loop.

Yeah, i wish they tied them to relics or something, that way you actualy get to play the game and not watch unvoiced cutscenes with slapstick humor.

I wouldn’t know, I can’t find anyone that wants to run it. Same with unreal

They need better rewards as lateral content like this is deeply encouraged

really? There are always a ew groups looking for unreal in the partyfinder, criteon on the other hand is pretty empty.

You're wrong, if there is no cool looking reward or power gain, he majority of players have no reason to do a piece of content more than once, or at all.
They could have simply added a twine or moonshine to upgrade tome gear (one per week) or something.

Remember when people used to do things for fun? Now we need to incentivize fun, and not even because the content is boring, either.

MMORPG's aren't the type of game a lot of people play for "fun", for that, this type of game is simply to slow, time consuming and in general tedious.

Yes i do have fun playing savage raids of the current content, but look around who does old savage content now unsynched or even with minimum ilvl ? maybe a handful of people of all the players.
MMORPG's are intrinsically rewards driven, be it player power, or rewards, mounts, cool armor or shiny weapons, if there is absolutely nothing to gain from an activity, pretty much no one will do it.
I actually tried multiple times to clear criteon but right now i gave up because nobody i ask cares for it and the party finder is also empty most of the time.
They need to find a balance between giving adequate rewards but not forcing people to play it over and over like other games do.
