For Criterion it was the glow version of the last tier tomestone weapons. God, I want my avatar rpr weapon so badly. I going to try to do this new 24 man this weekend but I know if I don't clear before everyone gets bored with it, I will never get to clear it and even more rewards are locked behind died content. I know the community says they want something new but every time we do get something new it dies so fast...
    I just learned that there is not just one mount but TWO mounts for this fight and honestly, that pisses me off even more. To be honest I didn't know all the rewards for this fight, I just knew there was gear, the shoad of darkness mount, and the hairstyle. Today I learned you get a tile of darkness mount as well...WHY DOES THIS FIGHT HAVE SO MANY DAMN REWARDS!?! The main thing is there is no f'ing reason for the hairstyle to be locked behind this damn fight and because it will die off like crit dun the hairstyle price on the MB will never drop that much...it most likely will stay in the 100 mil range. This fight doesn't need 2 mounts, 730 gear, and a hairstyle... The gear and the mounts are enough...

    The content will die because nobody wants to do it

    Don’t give it rewards because the content will die

    Like I don’t know who this content is for but ripping rewards out of it is exactly the easiest way to ensuring that the content WILL die. And I’m happy to sacrifice mounts and hairstyles for content I won’t do to keep it alive. Content should lock good and desirable rewards

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    My only issue is the hairstyle...the mounts are fine to be in content like this but a hairstyle? If this content has to have gear, 2 mounts, a minion, and a hairstyle just to keep it alive then it shouldn't been made in the first place IMO. The mounts, gear and even the minion should be enough reward for this type of content. My only issue is the hairstyle.

    As much as I enjoy keeping Square Enix accountable for their mistakes - Yoshi-P did promise an uptick in rewards for players, and more player rewards is generally a good thing. So I guess that promise is kinda being worked on.
    Now, all these rewards behind an experimental bit of content where the longevity is not a given... thats definitely a questionable choice.

    Though, CS3 seem a bit weird with how they space out the rewards, are they not? They add the joke weapons, but only make them drop in map dungeons. They release a PvP Patch, and don't really add any PvP rewards. Then they release another Savage level raid, with 2 mounts, interesting looking gear and a hairstyle design contest winner.
