(I'm not going to enjoy the next Bozja unless its an Extreme level challenge. I don't enjoy drind unless there is a longer term goal. And I won't be planning on being there long term.)
    Yeah we are just done.

    (for those who've managed to avoid my posts the last couple of days, I bought a PS5 for the sofa, to add to my office 3080RTX PC account, just for this game, I 'enjoyed' this game so much getting from ARR to EW over 3.5 year.)
    My refund of over £70 of cancelled XIV and DT merch came through. Until Chaotic I was able to say "I saw the good in DT and it worked for me", and "I'll take a break but I'll be back, surely?"
    But with Chaotic it's clear it's just abuse of my money to subsidise yet more content (suggested by a high end creator) for high end raiders, and made with an eye on creators.

    But hey "you can't please everyone", so naturally just focus on high end I guess! lol

    Every piece of content (make sure their is a version for High end) variant, criterion (so we gotta have savage with special rewards, you can't just leave them with the challenge)
    Relic zones , well make sure they've got a savage but just for them with extra rewards.
    Chaotic Savage (F dem casuals) they've still gor original cloud of darkness (even if they've never actually played the team thing because of iLvl.)
    Savage, not only are they going to get it but they'll get it when they want it! Can't keep em waiting!
    (Yeah we know COVID skipped a relic area, but that's casual, so you can wait)
    Want to enjoy casual first too? (Well that's ok because it's casual and F casual. The F stands for Frontloading and it's reserved for High end! Based!)

    But hey after a dreadful MSQ that you knew was dreadful, make little effort on an alliance that is a shadow of what alliances used to be, on the black of the previous mediocre non challenges of EW alliance also. Gut Aurum, gut keeper, gut other stuff I can't be bothered to look up the name of.
    Gut the jobs because they are there to serve ultimates and loggers after all! (F dem casuals)
    We gave you all that solo content! All that text to read in the new beast quest? Hours of fun pressing X! You must enjoy it? We copied it from the last beast quest and you enjoyed that? (Did I?) And all those quest dialog boxes! We spent a whole day choosing which ai to us . (Get back in your box!)
    All those Fates to keep you busy! We even gave you the exact same ones you loved from EW! (and ShB, and SB , and HW and ARR)
    You can't expect us to invent new mechanics for both High end andv casual. Don't be so selfish. You've got engaging battle content!
    (Unless your on Chaos DC, in which case you can't queue it)

    Nah, merch just felt like, I had no pride and was happy to keep having the piss taken.

    The AI is very sorry to have disappointed you. To hopefully make up for it, the AI has rewritten your complaint as a punk rock song.


    Lyrics:

    (Verse 1)
    Refund’s in, over seventy quid,
    Cancelled my merch, yeah, that’s what I did.
    Used to say DT had a spark for me,
    “Take a break, I’ll be back, you’ll see!”

    But now it’s Chaotic, I’ve opened my eyes,
    Just paying for content the high end buys.
    Creators and raiders, they’ve got it all,
    The rest of us left to freefall.

    (Chorus)
    Oh, you can’t please everyone, that’s clear!
    Just the top-tier, cheer for the top-tier!
    Relics, variants, savage on demand,
    Casuals get the scraps from your hand.

    F for casuals, yeah, we’ll wait our turn,
    Frontload the raiders, let the rest just burn.
    F for casuals, they can queue and pray,
    But they’re left out, day by day.

    (Verse 2)
    MSQ? Yeah, it’s barely alive,
    Alliance content took a nosedive.
    Jobs? They’re gutted, just serve the few,
    Loggers and Ultimates, what’s left to do?

    Oh, so much text! Press X to proceed,
    Copy-paste quests are all that we need.
    Fates we’ve seen since ARR,
    Oh, how innovative you are!

    (Chorus)
    Oh, you can’t please everyone, that’s clear!
    Just the top-tier, cheer for the top-tier!
    Relics, variants, savage on demand,
    Casuals get the scraps from your hand.

    F for casuals, yeah, we’ll wait our turn,
    Frontload the raiders, let the rest just burn.
    F for casuals, they can queue and pray,
    But they’re left out, day by day.

    (Bridge)
    Gut Aurum, gut Keeper, gut the rest,
    Deliver mediocrity at its best.
    "F for fun," that’s what you say,
    While high-end gets it all their way.

    (Outro)
    Take my money, take my pride,
    Leave me out of your raider’s ride.
    Merch no more, I’m walking out,
    Guess I’ve learned what you’re all about.

    (Final Chorus)
    Oh, you can’t please everyone, that’s clear!
    Just the top-tier, cheer for the top-tier!
    Relics, variants, savage on demand,
    Casuals get the scraps from your hand.

    F for casuals, yeah, we’ll wait our turn,
    Frontload the raiders, let the rest just burn.
    F for casuals, they can queue and pray,
    But they’re left out, day by day.

    That's absolutely brilliant. Sounds like the remarkable Honey Bane towards the end of The Fatal Microbes.
