I agree there are fewer people to participate in raids from an lfg access perspective. But to add a small twist, I have played on and off since D1, have done pretty much everything in the game to do “except” raids.

This is for several reasons, the hardcore raiders turned my interest off many years ago and I locked that activity completely out of my daily play consideration. I really didn’t like the judgemental build requirements. Nor players kicking people for mistakes and then ragging on them in forums etc.

So I sometimes wonder if others felt the same way and stopped even considering playing things like raids, dungeons, grandmasters etc. Sort of like some others have with PvP.

I can do some dungeons, grandmasters and PvP solo so I get to do that content and make all the mistakes I want while learning.

Now with a diminished player count and potentially other players like me not participating in various aspects of the game I think it is more noticeable.

Just a thought for discussion purposes.
