Daily Challenge: Extreme Trial

[Vidu]

With all those threads like this popping up, I wonder if all your guys requesting this arent better off just creating a Discord dedicated to finding/collecting people who are intrested in doing those fights the "proper" way again, just for the sake of it.

I have to reasons for making this alternative suggestion - one personal and on practical.

Lets get the personal stuff out of the way first: Personally, I'm not really intrested in a feature like this - I've done all those fighst when they were relevant, I've farmed them to death for their mounts and I'm hoarding tokens from each and every one of them, so I wont have to do them again if I ever want to glamour a weapon. Basically, what I am is: Done with those fights. I dont really want to go back, especially not on a weekly/daily basis... I like the feeling of being down with those fights and just being able to focus on the new ones. I obviously know that "I dont have to do the roulette if I dont want to" - its an argument I used myself often enough, admittly, but I still wanted to give my personal opinion on this.

Now for the more practical side: This will only work for so long - people, myself included, will do them as long as it takes to get the desired rewards (or, depending on the primal just skip doing it alltogether) and then it will be dead again. Ex-primals arent really made for DF, they're just not - maybe half of them are doable, a quarter will be painful and the last quarter will just see people leave left and right (or outright not queue up for them).
Either way I dont think constantly adding rewards to old content is a real longterm solution, because it will always only work right after the reward is added, when people hardcore farming it and then you'll be back to square one.

If you really want to do those fights again the longterm solution that I think would work best is to gather people who also enjoy doing this fights synched. To find people who dont need a carrot, but would just like to do Ramuh EX again...
If you think it would be great to do those fights with friends again: Why not do those fights with friends again right now? If you enjoy doing those fights why do you need rewards sprinkled on top of them? Why not grab your friends and set yourself a fun challenge - switch up jobs, all-tank-runs, all-heal-runs etc.?
I feel that at a certain point the best way to keep those fights going is to take initative yourself, find people who enjoy the same thing as you, spice the fights up and just enjoy them for the sake of it. Thats more likely to keep them alive, at least in an isolated community, than "making" everyone run them again just to grab the rewards and then return to the happy state of "Thank god, I never have to see Nidhogg again!"
