    Two words, Vertical Progression...

    This is primarily one of the reasons I dislike about this game... Dev Team just wants to create more stuff and forget about the old stuff. There's so much they can do with getting people to rerun old content but chose to blow it off because they want to just create more stuff that gets outdated with each patch they release.

    What sucks more than losing your skills in early dungeons is the same amount of attention to design and detail is no longer present as it was in ARR. Dungeons like Sastasha, Halatali, and Qarn actually had puzzles/interactions that if not done correctly would trigger another pack of mobs, and in the case of Qarn, a whole other room with three treasure chests becomes accessible. Whenever I get Qarn as tank, I always do the scale puzzle thingy that requires you to quickly look at the tomb at the beginning of the dungeon. NO ONE does this, and it is so funny that everytime I get Qarn, at least one person gets the 'Mapping the realm: The Sunken Temple of Qarn' achievement with a response along the lines of, "Holy shit! I never knew this was here!"

    But yeah, nah. Everyone wants to speed run schite and can't be bothered. I wouldn't blame the devs for our horizontal progression that leaves old dungeons in the dust unless you get it in roulette.

    They need to another ‘carrot on a stick’ beyond glamour gear, which I think many people are somewhat tired of.

    I’ve always thought some type of secondary levelling system could work like this. You get to [Level Cap], then you can keep getting exp that you can put into some sort of customisation element like stats, skills, skill modifiers, traits, or something like that. They could even have specific content give different rotating bonuses to further incentivise playing ‘outdated’ content.

    I know I’m basically describing the merit point system from FFXI and I get that something that requires that scale of grinding would be universally panned by the community, but nevertheless I think something like this would result in a much stronger sense of achievement and more incentive to continue playing past getting the in-fashion glamour/tomestone/savage gear, which you just get once and the unsub

    But why? Why do you want to be forced into older content?

    The devs have talked about this, and they don't want to push resources into the old content, and honestly I'd rather not have to run the old stuff again anyway. If I really want to I can go back and unsync most of the old content solo.
