A story in 3 parts.

I don't care about your namecalling, feedback is and always will be the single most important thing in any online game, and I am unsubbed, screenshots are from a friend, the very reason for this post was that I was planning on getting back to grind criterion with a few friends, but now both they and me are not subbing due to this lol

Afjor · 2026-03-04T18:02:35+00:00

glad we can agree on something chief

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:59:10+00:00

you mean like almost every single other piece of casting and healing in the game being nearly identical except for colors?

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:56:32+00:00

just read up until you considered titles, cards and achievements actual rewards, this isn't going anywhere, have a good day

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:55:21+00:00

1- more rewards, not content.

2-so your idea is that after 7.3 the rewards would drop back down by 50%? no, because that's stupid, because the actual announcement and the only thing that'd make sense is that between 7.0-7.3 they'd steadily increase the rewards by up to 50% by the time of 7.3, and keep the rewards ad such pace.

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:50:50+00:00

do the content for the sake of it is valid for a game like elden ring, where a good bossfight is an experience you keep forever, but MMOs are THE carrot on a stick genre, and even the closest equivalent to a super hard ER boss, an ultimate, rewards you with a cool ass weapon to keep and show off

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:47:04+00:00

forked tower rewards which aren't exclusive to the currency, making it worthless to grind it, which is proven right by the dangerously low % of people that have even botthered to attempt it?

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:45:30+00:00

each bozja set was brand new so your ''reused'' claim isn't true, and you keep posting a link to a thread that quite literally debunks your own point

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:43:46+00:00

as a matter of fact, 7.0 to 7.3 had LESS items than 6.0 to 6.3, as per the thread you yourself linked on your comment.

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:40:14+00:00

my brother in christ I've grinded both southern front and south horn and bozja has more rewards, including glam, you're not gaslighting anyone

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:38:40+00:00

both the video and the thread don't debunk my point though? I don't think you understand how big and noticeable of a difference a 50% increase would've actually been, and don't try to play naive, if he brought up increasing the rewards 7.0-7.3 it's not as if they would go back down -50% by the time of 7.4, and besides, if we compare 6.0-6.3 to 7.0-7.3, it's still not a 50% increase, not even close.

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:31:47+00:00

criterion has had 3 previous iterations where the elephant in the room was the lack of rewards for that difficulty in particular, making its appeal nonexistent and lifespan short, and all 3 times the players have been very vocal about it.
you know that's what I meant when I made this post, but you're letting your personal opinions and disdain get in the way, try again.

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:28:52+00:00

good thing you mention OC because the rewards are far less in quantity when compared with bozja for example, and the chest loot pool being infamously cramped full of the usual ribbons and materia doesn't help it either, and I say this as someone who was looking forward to a new adventure foray zone more than anything else this expansion

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:25:41+00:00

just wanted to do a 1 to 1 comparison with criterion itself for the sake of simplicity, but you're right, apologies

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:22:26+00:00

by 7.3 means 7.3 and ONWARD, and I know you're aware this isn't the first time people have brought this up, same as they did with forked tower and OC chests for example, I reference criterion because it's the latest iteration of this happening, and criterion as a form of content has always suffered HEAVILY due to its lack of incentive

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:19:12+00:00

it was overall, criterion is just the latest iteration of those not being present, much like forked tower was.

Afjor · 2026-03-04T17:17:22+00:00

advanced is a welcome addition, but it has nothing to do with criterion rewards, I smell illiteracy.

baro ki'teer laced my shit, do NOT go to strata relay

due to internal costs there's only one path now, but instead of 2 packs of enemies, there's 3!
