Yeah, sure, the price is dropping right now, but it's gonna be ridiculous in like a year when no one does the content anymore. It's going to be hard for newer players to get it. It's just going to be another Memoria EX type of situation. You can occasionally find a group to do it nowadays, but it's not exactly easy. There's really not a lot of reasons to do the content.

CBU3 has been in this weird mindset for a while now where they prioritize on getting people to do the content now with one-time rewards without any regard to how that plays out long term.
at what point does it end, though?
The chaotic alliance raid drops entirely new armor sets. Does that not fall under customization?

I don't see what other rewards they can use to entice players into doing this sort of content. If the fight offered nothing whatsoever, what would be the point to run it anymore than one time just to say you tried it and/or completed it

of course that's an extreme example, and people could mention minions/mounts/etc. but you could argue that also falls under customization but I know what you're getting at

I do wonder if at some point this will be something you can unsync, and if that question has been answered anywhere because if it can then at least at some point it'll be something people will grind, like Memoria Misera EX (especially because you can Duo it)
