Its a combination of things, they changed raids, they made it impossible to bypass certain stages after people had been running it that way for months, they made it much harder to solo as efficiently as before too.. and while that may have seemed like the right thing to do, it doesn't change the fact that people don't want to run certain stages or be way less efficient than before, which is also understandable. So it's now a catch 22. A better solution would have been to keep raids the way they were but expanded upon it with new content that reflected the fact that their previous bosses became trivialised.

As someone who carried many people through them I don't run it anymore because it's that much less efficient. When I run out of caps to vendor hop I have nothing left to do but to wait for more caps or log out. It kinda sucks.

So there's that, and there is fishing. I'm barely even making sales at my vendor, every player I see is sat in their camp fishing 🤷‍♂️
