JP interviews [pre-6.5]

Running ARF, Shiva, Garuda ect X amount of times cause they're the quickest fight or dungeon for that step isn't an accomplishment. Not unless it's an accomplishment of showing of your will. Congratulations on not getting burned out during the grind or burnt out on the game all together soon after completing your last relic. Yes, I know some people thrive on that kind of grind. That it makes it feel fun. I do hope that 7.0's relic has more than just tomes. I don't mind some of the changes to the dungeons when it comes to boss fights when they made them do-able with duty support. I do miss some of the trash being taken out though. Even if some dungeon bosses were challenging before the change they were also the fights that made you wonder if people's minds were switched off or were just ignoring the advice you gave after the wipe. Or if the person who ran away from you rescuing them to understands why they died seconds later.

I am a little disappointed in that they either will put off the trials or think of turning them into 4 man content. Which I would rather them not do as then that just pushes it even further in how long a new player has to wait until they get to interact and learn how to do fights with more than a light party. I do hope that they figure out a way to keep them as 8 man fights that if someone wanted to could do them with npcs. I am a little sad that Island Sanctuary won't be continuing in 7.0 as it wasn't that bad and just needed a few improvements. Hopefully whatever the cozy lifestyle thing coming in 7.0 will take what they learned from Island Sanctuary and use it to give people a better experience. I guess those who insisted that we were going to be getting a 2nd Island were wrong. Part of its problem was a community problem in that we made it into a spreadsheet simulator and not deliver on things it never said it would be.
