All The Doom Threads Are Strange To Me

I think there’s a question about ‘quality over quantity’ as well.

One can see a list of ShB’s added content and think how ‘few’ they are when compared to EW. But let’s be real: what dies a week or two after launch? V&C Dungeons. Which content that pulls in more participation rate? Definitely not V&C—Idk about EO, but when compared to the entirety of ShB vs EW contents, Bozja did NOT had any of these ‘dead periods’ within its relevant expansion whereas V&C & EO literally cannot survive without PF & maybe discords within their own current expac life cycle. So what really went wrong there?

I can't really speak toward the Criterion portion, I don't plan on doing it. I can say that each of the Variant Dungeons were really fun for me, I've done 2/3 so far and had a great time. Each took me a week to get through all paths. As for Eureka Orthos, I don't feel it needs any PF. I've never done any deep dungeon through a PF. I enjoy doing deep dungeons solo and duo, it takes awhile to get +99/+99 but I enjoy it.

Meanwhile, being forced to wait for a weekend so I can do the raids in Bozja, which was the only remaining thing for me in ShB before I could move onto Endwalker was annoying. For the whole week waiting to do the DR raid just to progress the story, or trying to farm mettle from FATEs and CEs alone wasn't fun, because it's designed to be done with big groups when the content is fresh.
