We are missing Content between Normal and Extreme. Wrong Audience for Chaotic

[Gurgeh]

I stopped doing savage after Stormblood just ...
months later, we're already trouncing the bosses.

No Strigine your experience isn't anecdotal, it's scientifically reproduceable fact. It's 100% of why I've left now my friends have. They can do it, Chaotic proved they have resources, but they choose to spend my sub on top 30% savage, who appear to hate me and my mistakes from what I can see. They choose not to. But savage gamers and their release schedule is sacrosanct, and I'm supposed to pay for them. Well I don't have to and I won't be exploited to dev their overturned 1000 mechanic instances anymore.

It's absolutely this. Just absolutely this. They can do it, challenging casual. They used to challenging casual. Old old aurum vale. Old keeper of lake. Dunscathe, Rabansstre 100%, and while the story of ShB wasn't the most popular and the mechanics, until it was totally OPd much of the Nier raids. Many more besides but you don't deserve my time.

But EW raids were a nothing in terms of gameplay.
I was overly kind because I wanted to enjoy it but Thaleia was dreadful. I MT tanked it on release day 1 blind, didn't KO , and there was not one wipe. I can assure it's not Skill (not with me). Final raid day 1, and no wipe.

The last DT alliance was a nothing.

As someone unsubbed I just don't count the next alliance as 'playable' content. It's more token "click continue" content. Same for the dungeons are the first play. The trails have been cool, but you give me no reason to reque, and what I'll get in rouls has no challenge with gear. Normals same with gear, and n reason to replay now I'm not subbed and don't need the gear for the next content. (A reminder, I consider the sub to be awful value for the TOTAL absence of challenging content by the time you factor +10/15 iLvl, and the lack of value you get with just one extreme with no rewards.(100 tokens in 50 toxic abandon PFs it's just not fun. The toxicity can be fixed if you want to incentivise the right behaviour)
