A friend of mine did over 400 runs of Sophia back in the day, before he finally gave up and waited for the patch he could finally buy it.
I have seen others straight up quit the game, because the few lucky ones who get a drop early or worse; Lootmaster the mount then run- will show off their mount at every chance, AFKing in hubs like Rhalgr's.
Because RNG. The "extreme" content is not for entitlement, it's for "yes I earned that". Once the content is retired from being "hard" then people will just spam them unsynced and it becomes a pushover. Then players move on to the next thing. Some players will opt not to even play the content until it's a pushover entirely because the kind of people who try to farm it while it's "hard" are killjoys.

If people are quitting the game over RNG, they need to chill. I hate RNGesus mechanics as much as the next person, but if it's making some people quit, they are taking the game too seriously. Identify the parts of the game that waste your time, and simply don't play those parts until you can trade off time for speed.
