Players want to progress in the story. without playing raider

[Venom Snake]

I'm level 1490 I don't like raids and I don't play raids. I think there should be another way to level up your gear. I think the story is good, fun to play the game. But I think there should be another way to increase your product level. There are players who may not like raids. So that we players who want to continue with the story. that there is another way for us players to get better equipment in another way. Can take us to the next island called voldis.

[FlawlessGlenn]

Yes i agree 100%. I really dont like raids in this game. Can we have something else like a harder chaos dungeons or something like it to go from 1490 and forward please, so we non raiders (or casual players) can enyoy the main story content beyond 1490.

I doubt it would change as you cannot squeeze the sweet Money juice out of the players.

but turns out players just leave en masse, so no money juice either way

[Zordiark Darkeater]

Agree.

I played many mmos and i never liked raiding.

Forcing raiding in a game like this where raiding is extremely punishing and annoying with Instant kill mechanic bloat just feels like a horrible joke and a slap in the face.

Let the players enjoy the casual story with some casual grinding.

Not everyone wants challenges and best of the best gears, just want to have fun and do collection.

I am 1606 play for over 2 years and hate raids. I like riding the bus.

hard to say.. if everyone was able to get that much more powerful by just doing chaos dungeons.. then busses would not sell anymore, people would not nearly do as much raids, so whales and day 1 addicts cant flex as much anymore on others, and many whales may lose their motivation to spend 50k dollars into this game

dont think they care much about someone spending 20 dollar every 3 months for a skin in comparison

there are always some noobs still playing

and if everyone left they cope by thinking they are superior and all the other ones were too poor and too unskilled to continue playing this game

it is a sad reality

[James Clayton]

It is known that most games reach a point where they become to difficult for just one solo player to progress. It is sad because that is when the game starts to die.

dude...deinstall and play sologames

[SilkPenny]

I could not agree more and none of my chars are past 1490. My stance is the same in WoW. I am not going to spend hours studying YT videos in an almost-certain-to-fail effort to memorize end-game content. I'm also not going to endlessly grind for gold or items that will be lost to abysmal honing rates. I just ended my CA sub because, while I have enjoyed LA a lot, I feel I've progressed as far as I can.

Remember this: we may be filthy casuals, but we are the vast majority of players. I'll never understand why MMOs make no effort to keep us in the game...

[mirrors]

dont play this game then, simple as that, the whole point of this game is the raids

[Wolfshade]

Doing raids might be the intention how one should play but I don't play it like that and probably never will, as long as you have to study guides in detail for a raid and doing those is exhausting.

So I am just enjoying the world.
Visiting heartbeat island and dance for fun or listening to memory orb music at the jukebox in my fortress, searching for the perfect photo spot, helping lower lvl ppl out with world bosses and so on...

Depends on what you value and have fun with.

[Sezostris]

Yup, i agree with You too. I would love to see raids becoming optional activity (Or adding lower difficulty tier for less rewards) i dont mind people flexing their skill (rightfully so!) and getting proper compensation if they can clear the raids... But herding literally everyone, casuals and hardcores, into difficult mandatory activity is simply a recipe for disaster. Gatekeeping, Impostering, buses would never exist if mokokos could just clear easier raids appropriate to their skill level and carry on with collectibles, story and island events.
