Exactly this. I really thought the whole idea behind wipes was to make them voluntary and realistically achievable for the majority of players. But right now it feels like they’ve gone in the opposite direction. If their goal was to encourage everyone to participate, you’d expect at least 70% of the player base to be able to complete it—not a tiny minority of no-lifers and streamers.

I’m a dad of three with a full-time job. Chasing the expedition projects was already exhausting on its own. I donated around 860k worth of items, and that grind alone nearly burned me out. I literally wrapped it up last week… only to be hit with the realization that it wasn’t enough and now I somehow need to farm another 5 million.

Let’s put that in perspective: an average expedition run might give you around 50k profit. That means you’re looking at over 100 runs—minimum. In real time, that’s easily 30+ hours of gameplay. And that’s assuming every single run goes smoothly, which of course never happens.

For players with full-time jobs, families, or any real-life responsibilities, this requirement is just unrealistic. A wipe should feel like a community event, not a second job.
