I watched xenos stream, he got alot of subs that day I already said this was streamer bait either on this post are on another because thats who this was made for.

    Stop pretending like its just this mass wave of people who think neoexdeath , or v3s is easy thats just ur opinion when in fact numbers from flogs tell a totally different story. Im pretty sure you could dig up the old creator numbers and see that a9s, and 10s has a way higher clear rate than 11 or 12. Thats the divider right there its in the very raids we have now, sorry that it wasnt good enough for u but obviously just from floggs you can see that the player base stalled out on 3 and 4.

    And you can essentially cut the number in half from those whom have cleared neoexdeath because this is suppose to be alot harder than even that, in any other situation when we are talkin about 100s of thousands of people people would look at a mere tiny 4 or 5 thousand and see it as nothing. But I guess to defend your case you have to make it seem bigger than what it is are youd have no argument.
    I’m not saying it’s a majority; I’m refuting your absolute that “no one” watches people play this game or “no one” watches other people do content or “nobody” wanted Ultimate. You are the one speaking in absolutes here.

    As for clear rates, of course, the first floor of a tier is going to be—and should be—easier than the final floor. If it wasn’t, then a lot of raiders would be extremely disappointed, and would probably seriously question the developer’s design choices (though, they already do that now with regards to some things). I wouldn’t want V4S to be as easy as V1S was, which, by the way, a lot of top groups killed Alte Rolte in a single pull. Perhaps you should read my posts again, since I never said that Neo was easy, but that he was easier than his predecessors (Alexander Prime, Brute Justice, Living Liquid)—there is a difference between something being “easy” and something being “easier” than the fights that came before it. Also, again, I never said that my posts were anything more than opinions, and never claimed them to be facts. Where as you, on the other hand, keep talking about your opinion on Ultimate (as you have done since it was announced), and trying to pass it off as fact by misrepresenting your number data.

    Savage is supposed to be the most challenging content in the game, but it’s constantly teetering towards more “midcore” because more people want to do Savage, and complain when anything is the least bit difficult for them—rather than put in the effort to get better. While I think there’s nothing wrong with more people wanting to do Savage content, I don’t think the answer lies in developers constantly making it easier just because some people don’t want to try. I think that the developers also intentionally made some fights easier after Gordias basically killed off a good portion of the raid scene due to poor testing—they had to get more people raiding again, and Midas clear rates were also probably still low because so many people quit after Gordias.

    However, all that being said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the developers putting something like Ultimate in this game, even if it were just for a small percentage of players. You want to try and give your entire target audience something. More hardcore players are not going to be satisfied with the Expert dungeons or with Eureka or Perform or whatever; a lot of them wanted this. I’m sorry that you find that so incredibly offensive that a group of the playerbase—small or not—wanted something like this.

    We get it: you don’t like Ultimate. But, sadly, you don’t make the decision about what content is placed in this game, and what content is not. People asked for and wanted Ultimate, and they got it. End of story. Don’t like it? Well no one is forcing you to do it.
