Pyros... it's going to be lit

[Liam_Harper]

Pyros could be amazing content, but we need to get through Pagos first. I don't know about everyone else, but if they don't change the mob-grind style of Pagos I'm not stepping foot in there.

"We've nerfed Pagos, you now only need to grind 1500 mobs instead of 2000" won't cut it. I refuse to pay money to force myself through content I'm not enjoying. The only real fix I can see that would salvage it is to make it so all NM's give a reasonable amount of light. By all means make grinding still more time efficient, but at least let there be the option.

Preach!
I've seen people here and on Reddit defending Eureka because they didn't find the older relics any fun, either. They might have a point, but that's a terrible reason to keep this content as it is. And for all their faults, at least the older relics had multiple progression paths.

That might get me back into Pagos and onto Pyros. The main attraction being I could go into Pagos with friends who are at lower levels and actually play with them.

I suspect this content is having a detrimental effect on the open world (there's no reason to go there now besides hunts), and I suspect it's having a bad effect on player retention. SB is content-light; my Friendlist is dwindling, my FC list has so many people taking breaks. We are struggling to find stuff to do together. The relic was something everyone did last expansion, from the most casual to the hardcore raiders and we all worked on it together. Now we can't.

Social contact is the whole point of playing an MMO. It was the only thing I enjoyed about Anemos, the players made that content not merely bearable but fun, Pagos killed that.
