    The vast majority of content in this game is casual content and the vast majority of content released this expansion will be casual content. Heaven forbid they release a couple raids that can't be facerolled in the meantime.

You are missing mounts, pets, now the hairstyle. Why even bother anymore collecting? Why even bother anymore to collect the things from the content which you can actually play? Your collection is missing so many things already. Why even bother anymore to play the game at all?
    The hairstyle is on the marketboard.

    Welcome dear students, to "I have not read the thread 101". Unless you have mistaken your course and were actually here for "Just egging people on because rage is so good 301".

    Oh? You mean the first tier of Savage raids? Or the new Ultimate that dropped right after that? Or the new Chaotic that dropped right after that? Or could you be referring to the "exploration" zone that everyone seems to forget will have an Extreme/Savage raid tacked on to it?

    Compared to...

    That 1 new Hildi quest? What is this vast majority?

    That isn't casual content because it's not - actually - PLAYABLE.
    Hildi content used to make great 'take a break, change of pace' content.
    But what am I taking a break from?
    Great... so I'm taking a break... Frooomm - taking a break.

    The problem is the casual is barely playable. The DT alliance was too easy. Inconsequential. No one doing DT is anoob. If they are they can go practice HW of SB alliance one in rouls. We can carry them.
    It all needs to be dunscaith Rabansstre difficulty.
    The whole of EW was a dissapointment. Especially Thalia

    Did you add text to my message...? Good lord.

    Hildi content is "take a break" content? Was it not literally required for the last set of relics? Relics, which everyone seems to agree is part of casual content? Why do you get to determine what everyone finds difficult or not? I don't think you are the objective source on everyone else's overall enjoyment of other content.

    Apologies if I did... a new Japanese place opened up near me so I was just chilling on my phone while enjoying a really good donburi, and one of those drinks with the ball that you pop.

    Damnit that's where that text went! Yeah I lost that post and had to rewrite it. Guess that's where I lost it.
    Fixed it now.
    Sorry! Yeah having words out in one's month is not nice. Accident though.
    I'm not putting up a forum post to have them improve the forum engine. I want them to focus making casual content as good as it used to be. (Most forums have the same 'vulnerability' if you want to call it that, to be fair)

    Oh and "good lord" why is one having an opinion of one's own 'dictating' anything to anyone else. If someone else one day tries to argue shit tastes good I will not be feeling the least bit of pressure. You do you. Please.

    Again undeserved apologies for the quote screwup
    Damnit un'reserved'

    While I usually like Hildibrand quests, collecting 1500 tomestones for 3 items per weapon tier was not my favorite. It was the most easiest relic weapon series BY FAR, it unfortunately felt cheap.

    Usually relics required more effort on our end and you get some feeling of accomplishment when you get the final weapon tier. Look at the steps with the previous series in comparison to the Mandervillious. You earn tomestones passively by doing hunts, roulettes, treasure maps, etc. I don't really feel a sense of accomplishment by doing these things, earning tomestones were always a bonus to what I'm actually after, and I definitely didn't feel any accomplishment when I got my weapons to their final forms. I got them because I simply played the game.

    Yeah, Hildibrand definitely is take-a-break content.

    You seem to be under the misconception that "will be" is current tense and not future tense. "Will be" refers to the deep dungeon, variant dungeons, field content and cosmic exploration that is currently not yet released, but as they said, "will be".

    I will agree that it feels bad that they front-load the expansion with mostly raid content and the casual stuff starts coming out halfway through, and I feel like with the amount of revenue the game makes, they could take on some more pure-content devs
    to fill in the gaps and give people more to do from the start of X.0, and not having to wait till X.2 patch.
