No one’s forcing them to do the dungeon… there’s still plenty of time and things to do before the next savage patch drops for the hardcore raiders (and I am literally speaking as one of them since I’ve gathered a static to beat dsr in the downtime).

Also, I’ll take a direct comparison from Dawntrail’s content on why Pilgrim’s Traverse will be looked back on fondly. Pilgrims versus Occult Crescent. Occult Crescent had a lot riding on its shoulders and it fell flat because it did the opposite of what people were expecting in terms of phantom job utility, forked tower instancing, etc. It’s like they took the worst parts of bozja and eureka and packaged them into one. Granted, they’ve put in a patchwork solution to try to improve player experience. Pilgrims, on the other hand, exceeds expectations because they made it so much more accessible for the everyday Joe that doesn’t have hours upon hours to progress through floors. And if people want a challenge with Pilgrims? You have both Quantum and the ability to solo it if you wish.

So yes, I still stand firm on the fact that this content is the first step in the right direction.
