    Why are you so hung up on people only having fun if they clear it? I might never clear it but still have a blast in the content, I might never enter and still have gotten a lot of fulfillment from the content. Who are you to say the content is wasted when so many are enjoying it in one form or another?
    Otherwise wats the point if it's not being cleared , and so many is subjective we are talking a small percentage in the big scheme of things.

    Because it is fun regardless? Content is about having fun. Clearing is a goal, one that may never be reached while it is still relevant, but it is a goal regardless. Challenging myself to the goal, or watching someone else try for that goal and rooting for them is the largest aspect of that fun, clearing is just the victory of that goal, and is only a tiny part of the experience.

    Think of it like PVP (in an ideal world with no botters and a perfect ranking system). I suck at PVP and will never get the top ranking prizes or even place in the top 100, but that doesn't mean the content is wasted and I still get fulfillment from it by challenging myself to the content, win or lose.

    Also, remember that we live in an age where you can fill a huge stadium with people, getting them to watch 10 players play league of legends. Is this such a different concept?
