I would go a step further.

Just make all Raids mandatory for MSQ progression.

Most of them enrich the lore and things like „the twelve“ or „Eden“ are more or less continuations of the MSQ.

The writers would also have more things to pick from in the future and this whole debate would be over.

I am also tired of getting Labyrinth almost every day even when there are no new players in the party.

It’s a bad system and it’s boring.
