Criterion Dungeon Interview

[Noumenon]

power in this game is worthless and almost nobody cares about it

I don't know why you keep trying to ask for SE to focus on attaching good rewards to content you personally enjoy or to try to "fix" power progression.

How about they make the content actually fun? Nearly everyone I know who run DRS regularly are in it only for the fun, since there is next to no relevant rewards attached to it after the first clear (who cares about BiS in Bozja?). Nearly everyone I know who run Criterion, on the other hand, only finds it fun enough in the moment but no one actually wants to go back in even though it's tremendously easier to organize a Criterion run.

Both DRS and Criterion have nearly zero relevant rewards once you get the mount. It isn't about rewards, it's about enjoyment.

On the other hand I literally don't know a single person who does mob grinding in Eureka for the enjoyment (other than, apparently, you). Everyone I know who did it found spawning NMs extremely, extremely dull. People literally do it only for the rewards/power progression and that's bad.

Priority #1: Make the content enjoyable
Priority #2: Attach meaningful rewards to enjoyable content

variant actions are completely worthless

I agree with this, which is why I think Variant and Criterion dungeons are mediocre at best and am extremely confused why everyone is praising it.

Everyone is fixated on the reward structure of Criterion dungeons, and most raiders say it was fun.

If it's so fun, why aren't you (you as in the raiders who praised it) doing it again and again? People do Delubrum NORMAL again and again for fun, even when it's not required. People spam ranked Crystalline Conflict even when they are already safe in top 30/top 100, because it's fun, even when top 100 rewards are extremely bad, with a bad title and a frame nobody cares about.

If it's so fun, why is nobody doing Criterion dungeons? It isn't about the rewards.
