    The notes are fine the way they are now, I think they're already being generous enough by giving you RNG chances to skip the duels. The duels are still there and still just as accessible as they've always been, if you can't beat them then the skybike isn't for you.

    The only way I could see notes for clusters being a positive change is if they make cluster vouchers similar to bicolor gemstones so that they can charge 1000+ clusters each for the duel notes, if you're bypassing the challenge it should take should take much more time, and maybe then the MB prices for all of the cluster items will start going back up.

    This is very constructive to the conversation Thank you! Though I will say- I have been attempting said Skirmishes/duels when they drop for over a year (On and off with Some breaks like story and pvp to avoid burn out when I'm not working my two IRL Jobs). I just have an extremely hard time remembering mechanics if I can't constantly do them (Seeing as they are 1v1 duels and you can only get in them if you get picked/have enough notoriety so that makes it hard to practice them), HOWEVER I do appreciate the alternative that you have provided

    Wow, that is a HORRIBLE take. Not to mention not even remotely the point of the thread.

    Asking for an alternative so you don't get locked into content you don't want to do because "carrot on a stick" is NOT Lobotimizing the game, this kind of content is fine for you and people who enjoy the content- you guys CAN enjoy it. but there are people out there (Like myself) who would like an alternate method to wrapping up the content because artificial content life expansion is not something that should ever be in a game. Before you try and counter this point, Yes it's artificial content life expansion because the duels gate slow down how many people can complete their note logs down to a crawl, basically you either grind mindlessly until you die of old age or you get into a 1v1, try and fail because you can't magically get good from just watching. I literally was just standing around with a PLD waiting for MDK to pop cause timer- that's not fun, especially when they're quiet and don't say anything.

    Yeah it’s grind content, for completionists. It was grindy then, it’s grindy now. That’s its purpose. And you are asking to make it not grindy. Do you want the zodiac relics (not replicas, just genuine all ready to go ones) to be sold by NPCs now too?

    Still a hard no. No one was under any illlusion at any point after it released that it wasn’t a huge grind.

    I never said it wasn't but when it takes you about 7 months to finish something that was long finished then players get frustrated and stop playing- and my statements were not about relics. Again, you missed the point of my posts and this thread- it was about the Notes, something that should be easier to obtain that doesn't detract from relics since you'd generally need notes to progress at some point and not everyone is going to know where notes spawn, allowing players to grind clusters and buy notes for like 1k a pop should have also been an option. Again, my statements were about notes, not relics. Eureka is the only one I have yet to even finish one with while all the others I have several in, so trust me I know that grindy content is meant to be grindy, but something that becomes optional after part two or when you finished the main portion of the content shouldn't be. Kindly contribute an Idea you would like to see include in Bojza or bug off.

    Yeah I don't want that. My suggestion for Bozja if anything would be that the systems found in there be applied to more of the game. See like you I don't have all the notes, but its something I occasionally work on and look forward to as a long term goal, If I could buy them for 1K I would be done with that and never have a reason to revisit or study for the CE's. It could take me a year, maybe more, but im not sweating it, I can get over the fact that I don't have to have everything right now.

    I mentioned the relics as another example of content that is supposed to be grindy, like the notes, that I wouldn't like changed. You need to deal with the fact that not everyone wants things to be easy and not everyone is going to agree with you. If you don't like discourse in the forums, a place for public discussion, then you should bug off.
