Why I didn't do Extremes or Savages and now I do.

I would be all over this kind of content back in the old days when all my friends had time for MMOs and we were all playing WoW together. We weren't great, our gear sucked, but we all knew each other and organized well over voice comms. We could set a date to play, and we knew when we could be available.

I don't really want to dedicate multiple hours of my night, on the fly, with random strangers, trying to talk with them through text. And then maybe not even clearing anything, and starting all over from scratch the next time I even think of trying again. And that's if the Party Finder group actually fills. How long does it take to get enough people who are interested? And what happens if someone gets fed up and leaves? Do you have to abandon and recreate the PF entry again?

Yeah I think at some point a dev might look at an audience that isn't taking part, and at least those that align with this (myself included) the answer is basically "never" (anymore.. :P). It's not interesting to spend hours herding cats at the chance of winning something, but mostly just being stressed lol. If you get a good group of regulars you can make great progress, but then you're beholden to that schedule which is a different and other non-negotiable issue.

The way the content /is/ would never interest me in anything beyond if it was like a guild mate who wanted to do it simply to complete it 'because of me' (I'm not counting unsycnc / 'epic echo' type engagement, I'd do that).


That said there is nothing wrong with people who do like it , also glad someone found a system that helps them get the content done exactly in the way that they like.
