Yep, the problem is after the initial population rush, there's no reason to go back, like ever unless you want certain gear pieces - Even XI had content you'd redo for various reasons like Limbus even if you didn't do it for the AF+1 or Omega/Ultima/accessories pieces you could always do it for coins and make money. Here, there's honestly no real reason for me as a 50 SCH to go back into Copperbell mines.

There was no incentive to Farm magicked skulls for others or the 2:3 fight or help them with LBs. People still did it, even though it took longer to complete than the ~30 mins s dungeon takes now.
