Xenosys Vex explains how to save the game

You know what would really help the game? Is if SE would stop locking new side content behind a massive MSQ wall. Why is it that they learned this lesson for new jobs but not things like say Eureka Orthos? We had a massive influx of new players which is good, that means that they'll be able to start grinding out things like Bozja, Zadnor, Eureka, PotD, HoH, EO, and so on......once they finish the MSQ which takes a lot of time for most of those to even be available and some of them require more than just MSQ (Bozja needing a whole raid and side story). The problem is as we're waiting for newer players to get to that point of say Eureka Orthos, you have players who are already at that point, leaving the game because it takes 75 mintues to even get into EO. And I get it, a lot of these things have a big overarching story attached to them but at some point the MSQ starts to hurt the game more and more.

Problem is almost all of that side content is basically hidden unless you know it exists to actively unlock it.

I lose track of it sometimes. I have to go through the patch notes just to find where those side contents are.

He always suggest that alliance raids should drop raid equivalent or bis gear that late into the game... It's such a stupid idea, alliance raids should not drop raid equivalent gear because 1.) it's a complete steam roll and you can literally just afk through it and 2.) It kills the savage tier for late raiders.

Stop saying it's "catch up gear", there's nothing people need to catch up on, what content in this game does a regular player need such gear for? Marketboard gear is still more than enough to BREEZE through all but savage content and yes, it's stupid. If you want alliance raids to drop BIS equivalent then the difficulty needs to be upped to something other than a snoozefest and ideally, there needs to be more content that requires some form of competence and that's never going to happen.

I think EX is the perfect difficulty to throw some better gear or loot into or at least tune other bosses to, it's harder content but still easily clear-able for casual players without the need for end-game gear.

It's why a lot of people are hoping for 7.0 to be this big reset event.
