An idea for coveted "Mid-Core" content

[strawberrycake]

If Casual Content is Rouls Alliance Raids and Island Sacutaries, and Hard Core Content is Early Savage clears Savage Critireon and Ultimates, Midcore is everything else. Let me explain.

Midcore, is when you do a bit of everything, you raid but parsing and clearing week 3 isn;t your goal, clearing in 2-3 months is fine and if you get some blues and purples, cool. You like rouls and the side content is p neat, so you don't skip cutscene, and don't mind getting Crystal Tower a lot. You'll possibly do an ult if ur group feels up to it, you do hunts and grind old relics, thats midcore currently.

I think what people are looking for is more gear progression, dungeons not being so braindead and Alliance raids having the difficulty they used to have back. Critireon is a great content type that can easily fit into what Midcore is, and if it offered rewards and they affected your gear prog along with EX and Savage and tome grinding, it'd be dope.

I feel this. I think the issue I take with labels like casual and hardcore is that they're so broad and could involve different TYPES of engagement in addition to different AMOUNTS of engagement. You could have someone who puts a lot of hours into the game, but only engages in lifestyle content. You could have someone who plays once a week, but that time is spent grinding themselves against savage raids for 8-12 hours on that one day. I don't think these two people belong in the same category. So yeah, midcore is a helpful description.

Fr. Someone can be fully engaged with the game and want to gear up, but also get crappy RNG and take months to work toward that. That's where I was at until I threw my hands in the air and gave up on the savage grind. It feels bad to have nothing to show for the time you CAN spend doing high-end content that way.
